What’s the best way to train your pet and prevent behavior problems like aggression? USE NO FORCE. Countless studies have been conducted. Every animal behaviorist and certified trainer will tell you the same. Force- and punishment-based training strategies are ineffective and inhumane in comparison to the highly effective, not to mention FUN, methods of positive reinforcement. Is this news to you? That’s cool - it is to a lot of people. Put the spray bottle down and swap your prong collar for a front-clip harness and grab a clicker while you’re at the store. (Or e-retailer.) It is NEVER TOO LATE to switch to science-backed, safe training methods. Your pet will love you even more for it. #trainyourpet #trainyourdog #trainyourcat #dogtraining #cattraining #dog #dogs #doggos #dogsofinstagram #cat #cat #catsofinstagram #cats_of_instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B0RxXvlnMJ2/?igshid=1lpce0ezhrdy4

Training a cat? You betcha! The basics are the same although some of the details will change. Make it worth their while to do something and they will do it. Here is a short session where Ketsl is learning an "Interruptor", a noise that will refocus her attention from what she is doing (Ninja-ing the dog's face for example) and putting it where I want it (on me and not the dog's face). Second part is practicing her sit which she does a good 95% of the time. Not bad for a 12 week old! . . #cattraining #cattricks #trickcat #kittensofi stagram #tonkinese #siamese #trainyourpet #neverstoplearning #sanfrancisco #buzzfeedanimals #catlife #kittylove #ketsl (at Happy Hounds Massage)
