Hey, so just to clarify, when on step 2, do you continue to click and treat or just treat them?

@OutdoorBengal

I just rewatched the video and it’s not super clear... sorry for that. STEP 2) Remove the treat from the hand that is moving the index finger (the trigger for the command). The treat will be in the other hand and you have to keep “clicking” and rewarding when the desired behavior happens. Hope this helps! ☺️

Hi there, I was wondering if you don't mind me asking, are you training more than one cat together? I'm wanting to adopt two kittens soon and l'd like to use the click system but am not sure it's going to work with two? I think it's easier to teach one rather than two cats. How are you managing? Would you maybe have a tip or link that could help me on those lines? Thanks for your time and have fun with your cats. 🐈😻

I accidentally trained my cat to lick my index finger.

I adopted 2 1 year old sisters they hadn't been trained or properly socialized to the point they'd fight over food bowl even though there was 2 down but thanks to your videos I have been training them and we have been learning together. They understand there names, no and finger targeting and they no longer fight over food. Thank you so much for all your help and I think its incredible your normalizing cat training and advertures keep it up! Smudge is a faster learning than Lunar but both are coming on remarkably fast

I just found your channel today, but I'm very excited to see how these tricks can help my cat Freddie! I already taught him sit, and high five, but I was struggling getting him used to his harness, (because he LOVES OUTDOORS and tries to get outside every chance he gets) and I would LOVE a way to get him to behave other than the spray bottle when he's knocking fragile and spillable things over all the time 😅 I KNOW in my heart Freddie is an adventure cat. He hitched a ride from Florida, to Iowa, all the way home with me to Colorado! I just want to know how to get him to love his backpack carrier and harness and leash. (Cause once he gets the picture, he's gonna LOVE walks)

Thank you !!!!🥰🥰❤️❤️

My four year old cat is very anxious and skittish - I was recommended your videos as a way to help make it less stressful to take him to the vet. He already seems to enjoy our little training sessions, and he focuses on them immediately. I feel like they are a nice way for us to bond and understand each other. Thank you for making these!

love what you stand for and have been watching a lot of your videos. finally got to start clicker training my cat and it's going amazing. I was wondering after the second step do we need to award them with a treat after every successful finger targeting? and would it hurt the training if I just did the finger targeting and just awarded him by petting him?

Michael Jordan and I are working on finger targeting right now! Thanks Albert and Mia!

Our sweet Teo and Pesto are around 9 months old now. I tried to teach them this trick, the clicker is for sure 'charged' as they immediately look down for a treat once they hear it. I train with them in separate rooms for context. But I've been running into a problem: one tries to bite my finger for the treat, and the other uses their nails to grab my hand to have the treat. Outside of trying to teach them this trick they have never done either of these things.

This is a long process. Don't give up. Specially at the beginning, it takes a while for cats to undersatnd what's going on. Try it every day, several times a day. Make sure that as soon as your cat touches or gets close to your finger, you reward them. Consistency is key. :)

I wonder if you think she might be able to influence our older 1 1/2 year old kit to be adventurous again as well; he was when he was younger but not so much anymore and I definitely didn't know the tools to try and change it when he was young. Is there hope for our 2 kits to come outdoors and adventure with us together?

@OutdoorBengal

3 жыл бұрын

Absolutely! A month ago I helped a couple to get their cat into walking on a leash after 2 years of them trying. Cats can learn to be comfortable out of the comfort zone but you have to do it sweet, slow and consistently. Try to introduce treats and playtime when the older one is on the harness and you'll see how better they get. Any breed and any age is trainable, it might just require a little extra patience. - And yes, definetely the smaller one is going to push the older one. Specially if the older one sees that the smaller gets to go outdoors with you and he might be stuck at home instead. Play, Praise, Reward, Repeat :)

This is amazing! Thank you. I do have a question the kitten I’m adopting is 11 weeks and I wanted to start harness training as she will be an inside cat. Do you recommend clicker training first then harness ? Also how long do you usually recommend between new tricks. Thank you in advance ❤

Thank you for posting these videos! I got a clicker last week and Marty, my cat is already starting to associate it with treats. I'm curious, now that Mia knows these tricks so well, do you still reward her every time? Or will she follow the commands without reward since it's so ingrained at this point?

Never thought of training of my Kitty ever before.... It appears, both of you ARE so WELL matched and have really great report, MUTUALLY... I have LOVED my Kitty the way it was; Seldom cuddling beyond the time for bed NOR allowing me to carry it in my arms, although when it was time to retire, my Kitty was the ONE to never be replaced by ANY OTHER... I did not have to teach tricks of any kind, although ONCE I was amazed, the Animal would have gone THAT Far for it's Human when the PROTECTIVE Instincts have "kicked in" AND even DOG's sense of which they are known for, would not have matched it's Quality at Crucial moment, just about when the danger of electrical! current that could not have been foretold, has traveled through my place while being witnessed by patiently awaiting me "Toilet~sitter" and somehow seeing the current to under the floor the way I have perceived it much later on... I KNOW, it is not very normal for the CAT to create a "Bonding" with the species OTHER than it's own, but at times, I have wondered about the issue of LOYALTY, a Dog, a Cat, a Horse or a Bird at timéd DO put on display as ONE of a Kind...

When my cat does something I don’t want her to do for example - walking over my laptop keyboard, or on top of something working on, i pick her up and move her somewhere else say a sharp firm “No!!” And then do the same thing over and over again until she gets the message and stops doing it .... then when I see her sitting away from my workspace rather than walking on it I give her a click and then a treat ..... is this the right thing to do?

@OutdoorBengal

3 жыл бұрын

Sounds awesome to me. With cats, usually you need to do 2 things to prevent them from doing something you don't want: 1) Stop the behavior (Your sharp "no" and taking them out), 2) Rewarding them when using the alternative (Your reward when they sit away from your workspace). The only problem you might find is if your cat doesn't consider the alternative "good enough".

My cat is not on a free feeding diat but she's on a proper diet without plant slop, grain, seed oils and sugar, so there's not much I can give her as a treat. What's perceived as a treat in one moment, doesn't have to be perceived as such in another. She just ate a 1/4 of raw ribeye steak. In the evening or tomorrow she might prefer (only) tuna. Occasionally she'll eat cooked chicken/poultry but rarely, and sometimes she'll eat poultry only if there's a bit of pumpkin or similar (zuchinni) with it... Quite a picky one. I guess the only way to give her a treat is to let her to fast first or maybe I should try whipped cream without sugar and additives.

Hey! Thank you. Which collar do yoiu use for outdoors.

I found my cat under a car as a thunderstorm was rolling into Florida. I named her Zulu. I've been free feeding but she has only been her a few days. She is finally flea free. I still need to deworm her and get a vet check. Sadly, I also need to see if she is chipped. If she isn't and I get to have her. I would love to train this grey tabby (she looks like an Egyptian mau except her back leg flaps are tighter). Anyway, I hope she takes to it.

Hi Albert, my kitten has been free fed his whole life, and I watched your videos which all say to switch him to scheduled feedings, and I did at 11 weeks, but he's refusing to eat any of his food. His breeder said that they're supposed to graze, but that makes him highly unmotivated for treats. What should I do or can you recommend a better transition from free feeding to scheduled?

Great video! Have you been able to teach your cat to play fetch? Please, please show me. My cat always runs towards a toy when I toss it, but she doesn't get that she's supposed to bring it back. I think she's capable of learning, but I just don't know how to help her.

Oh my god, how nice it was that he doesn't make the click because the cat is sleeping :)

Think I need to work on this one. Or maybe just give her more time. My kitten (16 weeks) currently sees absolutely anything that moves as something to hunt. Claws out. This means that her claws hit (= dig into!) my finger before her nose gets close. She's also worked out where the treats are coming from and is MUCH more concentrated on getting to that than where my finger is.

Hello, I have started charging the clicker. Is it ok if I use smoked turkey (the ones for making a toast) as a reward together with the clicker? Thanks a lot for all the info and the videos, please keep 'em coming.

Hi Albert, big fan of your content. I just discovered your channel a week ago and my 4 month old cat already learned the “no” command with the clicker. I’m finding it difficult to transition from the no/clicker trick to the one were it follows my finger, since every time she sees a treat she stands back until I click. Any tips for her to learn this new trick without unlearning to wait until I click to eat her treats?

So...as an example, when you train mia to get into a basket, how does she willingly stay in the basket continuously? Another question is how do you help to keep her off of counters when you aren't in the room? Like you teach her a behavior that you approve when your in the room...but is there a way to reinforce those good behaviors so she will remember even when she is by herself? My wife an I have a calico kitten that I'm training.
