While conducting your cat training you should always keep in mind that the punishment is not meant to harm your cat so you should take care not to be too aggressive.  When he’s able to sit down on command, you can phase the clicker out – but still give treats sporadically (interestingly, if you treat every single time that he performs a command, he’s actually less likely to reliably obey that command.  Consequently, relatively few people are aware of their cat’s abilities in this area.  Cats are extremely popular pets for a very good reason, because they are smart, loving, and satisfied living indoors.  Physical punishment may make him fear you, but it is unlikely to establish the behavior you want.  This technique will reinforce the cats training and she will like the attention and the treats she gets.  Cats value and look forward to attention and affection that can be gained from training.  

Remain consistent with the cats training and soon you will find your cat using the litter box on her own.  The reason being is that the effect of immediate punishment would be greater than if the punishment is conducted at a later time.  For the trainer, there are varieties of modes to punish a cat which can be in the form of words, actions or it can be physical punishment as well.  One cat training technique that doesn’t work is brute force.  This will allow the cat training to ideally strengthen the bond between pet and owner during training sessions from the outset of ownership.  So, blink your eyes frequently when you look at your cat.  Pain can make any one aggressive, so it’s important to consult a vet and rule out any kind of medical issue.Don’t react to your cat in an aggressive or even defensive way. The benefits of training your cat Just because cats typically lead solitary, individual lives doesn’t mean that they necessarily want to do so.  

An example of successful cat training in action: Training your cat to ‘sit’ on command ‘Sit’ is a great basic command for your cat to know, because it serves as the foundation for a number of other, more advanced tricks and commands (for example, ‘stay’, ‘beg’, and ‘high five’.)Make your training wand extra-effective by smearing the tip in a little tuna oil, and use it to attract your cat’s attention (wave it around, trail it past his face, etc.)Once he’s come over to you, place the wand just over his head, so that it’s slightly behind the crown of his head.He will tilt his head back to keep his eyes on it.  In fact, many cats are incredibly affectionate and loving by nature – they just need you to demonstrate your leadership and initiate the rapport-building process.  Call to your cat, then when it comes to you give some good praise and affection, using a proper praising tone of voice.  Make sure that you and the other members of the family always use your cat’s name.  Directly after the click, the cat is fed a small and tasty treat.  Basically there are different types of cats training like obedience training; litter training and even aggression training and all of them have different approaches.  

This makes many people wonder about cats aggression training and how to go about it.  Why, because many feline behavior problems, especially in cats kept indoors, are caused by boredom.  When he does this, he will naturally sit down (since otherwise, his neck can’t bend back far enough to allow him to keep watching the training wand.)As he sits down, say the word ‘Sit’, which will be the verbal cue for this command (your cat will grow to associate the command with the act of sitting, and eventually will learn to sit down whenever you ask him to.)As soon as his bottom touches the ground, click the clicker.  Cat aggression training It has often been seen that cats take more time to adjust to a new home as compared to dogs.  Get Cat Training and Care Guide

I love my dog and my sister

Forgive me if I reminisce a little!

The other day I heard a song that I’d not heard for ages. It took me back a few years, I can tell you!

And while I was mentally reliving years gone by, I realised how relevant this song still is to us all today! Some things just never change!

I’m talking about a song called ‘I Whistle a Happy Tune’, written by the brilliant Rodgers & Hammerstein and sung by the British governess Mrs Anna Leonowens in the hit musical ‘The King And I’. The musical was based on the true experiences of Anna and this song explains how she dealt with her private fears when she found herself in new and strange surroundings.

She taught these techniques to her young son  –  and now I’m explaining them to you!

This is a song that was copyrighted way back in 1951 but, take a look at the lyrics below and you’ll see that it’s aimed well and truly at all of us anxiety sufferers!

See what you think:

Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect,

And whistle a happy tune so no one will suspect I’m afraid.

While shivering in my shoes, I strike a careless pose

And whistle a happy tune and no one ever knows I’m afraid.

The result of this deception is very strange to tell,

For when I fool the people I fear,

I fool myself as well!

I whistle a happy tune and every single time,

The happiness in the tune convinces me that I’m not afraid.

Make believe you’re brave and the trick will take you far.

You may be as brave as you make believe you are!

©Rodgers & Hammerstein 1951

This could have been written especially for you!!

It sums up exactly what I’m always telling anxiety sufferers:

• That if you behave as if you are confident (even if you don’t feel it inside) then you’ll trick your brain into believing you really ARE confident.

• That your body language is important to the way you feel and how people treat you. Stand tall (‘hold my head erect’) and be counted!

• That if you use distraction techniques (the whistling of a tune or such like) you’ll take your mind off any scary thoughts you may be having.

• That people can’t always tell you’re feeling anxious even if you’re convinced they can.

• That appearances can be deceptive (striking the ‘careless pose’). Look cool and collected and that’s how people will see you.

• That positive happy thoughts (‘the happiness in the tune’) can usually override negative ones and help to reduce your anxiety levels.

• That always having a ‘little trick’ in reserve (like whistling a happy tune, for example, even if it’s just silently in your head!) is an excellent stand by to have for those times when you need some extra help.

And we all know what a difference any of the above things can make to help you in anxious situations!

Have a think about how you deal with scary situations. Do you have a ‘happy tune’ you can call upon? If not, maybe you might find it helpful. Who knows, maybe you might find that actually it’s THIS song that stays in your head, ready for when you need it most!

Good luck, and happy whistling!
