I'm so glad you're showing people how to use positivity to teach. I get upset when I see videos of people laughing while a cat in a harness falls over. That's obviously not pleasant for the cat.

It can be normal at first for a cat to fall a bit as they aren't used to it, especially if you start when they are very young. However, it shouldn't be anything too bad and it's more if an awkward movement.

CATMANTOO, we rescue 2 adult cats, at 2 different times. Put harness and leash on them (separately), took them to parks/bike trails, had no problems. They walked very well - not like a dog, but great for cats. Don’t know if previous owners trained them, or if they were just grateful to be outside. Both cats (ages 3 and 7) are strictly indoors. We enjoy your videos.

Hi! My white Angora Cat walks on leash since 7 years (first with 7 months). We walk every day because i can't let him out alone. He even jumps on trees and we swing on the hollywood swing in the green yard. 🤣 There is a bit dog in him. It never bothered him. He's always considered as a dog. Greets from Berlin

I've been training my 1yr old cat since she was about 6 months old. She can walk on a lead around the front and back yard but doesn't want to go any further than that. She very easily distracted and doesn't always go for food rewards. But I have managed to teach her how to sit and beg so far with hand gestures. Your videos have been a real help and inspired me to train my cat.

Great review video. My elderly gentleman cat learned to harness walk at 8 years old and still prefers it to his carry crate if we are going short distances to the vet. He's very chill personality and is not food motivated, but loves grooming so he got toothbrush grooms on his face and cheeks as his reward - whatever works right? I use a cloth vest harness attached with Velcro because he's broad across the chest and skinny hipped so I figured webbing harnesses would be backed out of.

This is the best tutorial I've seen - thank you. My cat does the sit as soon as the harness is on, or wiggles out of it. I've used to treats to train her but it's not great as she hid under the car today. So I'll start from scratch and follow the advice in the video. She adopted us 2 years ago as an adult cat, so hopefully we can suss this one out :-D thanks so much!!!

Thanks so much for this video!

I will start training mine in April and have her hopefully ready for walks in May. She is very food motivated so it shouldn’t be a problem. Going to get a vest type harness as I don’t want pull on her neck when she runs somewhere.

My cat Blue is part Maine Coon and has always been naturally outgoing. He LOVES people and noises, which is weird for a cat. I'm using your leash and harness training techniques now and it's working. Can't wait to take him to the park one day. I have to remember to do flea and tick treatments for both cats before we make that next leap, even though only the one cat is going outside.

Awww!!! Poor Quiz!! Thanks for doing this vid. I am trying to teach y kitten to walk on a leash for the first time and let me tell you, she will just scramble under a car, so thanks so much for doing this vid!!!!

My cat is already fully trained, but I would like to ask, what's your take on doing this with older cats? (from 1 year old and up). I started training my cat when she was 1, and she's perfect on the leash (sometimes she tries to take me in whatever direction she wants, but other than that she's good), but can be extremely frightened of parks/larger open areas. She does great on the beach (we worked on it for a couple of days) but with larger parks (acreages), it's really hard for her to adapt to it, and we've been there several times but she is really frightened and tries to drag me away. She's fine with people and dogs, but its just the open space that scares her and she is not food motivated AT ALL, nor toy/play motivated so that makes it harder to train her. I have taught her sit, and high five but she will not listen at all when frightened. Would really like your advice on this!

Hello, That's why I say in the video don't set your cat up to fail, only visit places your cat likes, or take a more systematic approach when introducing your cat to strange places. exposing them in small doses making those experiences positive, and keep doing that many times. most importantly if your cat isn't responding to the lowest levels of exposure, then stop trying there and try a place more suitable for your specific cats tolerance level. If you want to take your skills to the next level, join us on patreon.

my goal of the year :) Thanks for hsaring!!!

gosh darn i love cats so much

MAKE SURE YOU ACCLIMATE YOUR CAT TO THE HARNESS- leaving it in their bed for two days to a week can help, you should be able to bring out or get close to your cat with the harness without them freaking out.

Ty! This really helped I got my kitten a few months ago and I’m training her on a leash! She recently let me put a harness on her and now I can take her outside! This rly helped a lot!!! 2:22 was so helpful

Seeing Didga as a kitten again was so cute. I love watching these guys, you have done a fabulous job with them. My question is can an older cat be trained as successfully? My cat is 10 and she has never been harness trained.

Thanks needed that. Shes wanting back outside and we just moved about month ago. I know to keep inside for a whole but she got out gone awake and came back but still wanting outside. So I'll do the harness and leash next. Shes a Maine coon shes fixed but loves to Rome. Thanks for videos smart cat. 😻😻🙀🙀🙀

my cat is totally fine on a leash and she was doing so good walking beside the road like everyone else in the neighborhood does but then she saw people and a car and she ran all the way back to the front door of our house now she’s traumatized and won’t walk by the road :(

Tank you sooooooo much

Thanks a lot! I have a 2 month old kitten and I just got her leash today! At first I want her to wear it when I need to open the balcony door so I don't worry about her falling down and if she wishes to we will go at parks. She was a stray so I think she'll like it

Although my cats have a cat flap and are indoor / outdoor cats, recently, one of them got into a fight, resulting in him having to have a cone collar on, which means he can't go outside. He absolutely loves the outdoors, so currently we are taking him on walks outside, so he's supervised and is unable to rid himself of the plastic collar. 😂🐈💕

I don’t have a cat but I’m glad I know how to do this now

i have a STUBBORN cat with LONG FUR but I have a really close bond with her and she loves trying to escape outside so I figured she might like to go on walks! She's 7 years old and so far after three days the best I've been able to get is laying the harness on her back while petting her- so it might take a while but I love this guide so I'm hoping it will work with Autumn too !!

Thanks for the tips and all. I tried it today and it just wasn’t working but now I will try this later

man i was so dumb i searched how to cat walk. luckily i found what im looking for

I'm currently working with my 10 yr old boy to accept the harness. I do not intend to walk him on a leash but I do want to walk with a backpack for him. The backpack has a loop where I will be able to hook the leash onto as a safety measure. He is doing very good in the house, lots of pets and treats tossed in front of him so he walks to the treat. I had one over the head style and have just purchased an H style harness which he likes much better. It is a slow process so patience is needed.

Thank Ive been trying to train my cat for more that a week

i takes time, but is cool to go out of this small studio apt with my companion(cat) she gets so much from walking as well as i do and i always have a stroller for when the need to be protected or whatever, it works well using both...dogs have owners, cats have staff

my 10 month old kittie has had hers on for 3 days straight now. She seems to have gotten used to it. Now, my challenge is to make her brave enough to venture outside.. Her world has been a small flat, and the hallway outside on the 4th floor. We have just been outside in the spring cold for a few minutes now, This was a new experience for her
