Shake Paws Training: Help your cat be more cooperative with paw handling for nail trims

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Can paw tricks improve your cat's cooperation with nail trims? Yes, they can!!! In this video tutorial, we break down all the steps to teach your cat to offer each of their paws and build their confidence with you holding their paw for an extended period in preparation for trimming their nails. Not only will you teach your cat the cute paw trick - to shake paws, but you will also improve your cat's comfortability with paw handling. The ultimate goal is that nail trims are a pawsitive experience.
Have fun training!

These are great videos and I can’t help but wonder how does he not weigh 30 pounds!!!! 🐈‍⬛ I adopted a 4 year old all-black kitty a month ago who is perfect candidate since he follows me around like a little dog even outside he comes when he hears my voice! So excited to get a clicker!

    Hello Julie, and thank you for your videos. Forgive me asking this question here. I did look at all your video titles and didn't see this one. If I have two kittens, how do I focus on one kitten to train while the other may be around? Would I temporarily crate the one and focus on the other? Thank you for any advice - and if you addressed this in a video, please accept my apologies.

    Honest question, how do you feed your cat so many treats without the cat getting overweight? I'm worried to feed that many treats because the package says 12 a day max and 4 is equal to a cup of food. Is there better treats to feed in excess?

    I do a lot of training with my cat's food - either wet food on a spoon or pieces of dry food. You don't need to use a lot of treats to train your cat.

    You can start training right away but the goal is to focus your training on socialization, which means making sure your kitten grows up to be confident and comfortable in lots of situations/environments: Check out this resource: fearfreepets.com/puppy-kitten-socialization-bingo/

    Your cat is the exact same as mine that died last year. Every now and then I see a black cat that resembles her exactly, as does yours. Do you happen to know if your cat is a particular breed or what its genetic makeup is? I was always curious about what my cat might have had in her but didn't get her DNA tested. She was just a domestic shorthair according to the paperwork, but I'm open to other ideas because she had a really unique and friendly temperament, and at one point I'd convinced myself that she couldn't merely be a domestic shorthair. Whatever breed your cat is, so was mine, I swear. Do you happen to know?
