Emma learned a trick!!!!

[DogLover9501]

As you can probably see, I am VERY excited about this :D

I do Clicker Training with my pups, and I remember someone telling me that you can clicker train a cat, that it was HARD, but possible ;)

So tonight I sat down with Emma and first taught her what the clicker means, so I would just click and give her a treat...

To make a long story short, Emma has learned the "sit" command, and the whole thing took about 30 minutes :eek: :D

She sits whenever I say the word, I have NEVER tried to tain a cat before and I have NEVER met a cat who knew any commands.

I am very proud of her :D

That is neat! Good job :)

Cute!!

My cousin's cat plays dead. :D

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

What is "clicker training"?? I never heard about that :o

[Jods]

Its this little thing that makes a noise. You push the button whenever a dog does a right commmand and they get a treat eventually they know just by the noise that they did the right trick.

That is a reat Trick,the only ones,the Found Cats,have learned,is to trail Big JJJ3,when I shake The Whiskas Temptation package,as no matter,where he is,in the Hotel,he gets there first,everytime.Emma,is such a Great Little Cat.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

That's cool! The only command Tubby understands is "NO!" :rolleyes: ;) :D

And Peanut doesn't even know that one. :rolleyes: Her daddy says all she doesn't have to be smart, all she has to do is look cute, which she is very good at. ;)

Sounds like you got cute and smart! Way to go Emma! :D

Good job Emma!!! I have never heard of "training" a cat. *I* am very well trained though. Mine do react to the shaking of a treat package - but they do NOT sit, they ATTACK:D

Emma must be extra smart!!!

Thanks everyone :D :D

I'll try to get a video of her doing "sit" soon :)

Mike has Klinger trained to fetch the ball and bring it back and
to come when he makes a clicking sound with his mouth. Really cool..

Thats what I taught Emma with(temptations) :D

*EDIT* I have also learned that she will only "sit" for a treat when she feels like it..typical cat ;)

That is so funny! Yep, cats do what they want, when they want.
