My cat Didga holds the current Guinness World Record for most tricks by a cat in one minute, We couldn't have achieved this without the clicker.

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.
*EXACTLY.* Sadly, there will always be haters. Just look @ the rest of the comment section :(....
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.
Stop treating cats like they are any diffrent from dogs.
varying-degrees bruh shut up
It's funny and it doesn't hurt them. If it's not for more than a few seconds and you're actually trying to get the cat to like the harness, it's hilarious. And I love cats. I apologize when I do anything to them. All they're doing is flopping over.
The only issue is I don't trust people with unleashed dogs and my neighbors dogs often bolt out their door. Thankfully I have a cat safe balcony.
I think I know a selosen to that pick your cat up and go home that's the only thing i can think of
My cat died because he was bitten by my neighbors husky
@@patrickpage3753 really?
@@faroutsider24 yes
ULTI MATUM dang I’m sorry :/
I think you mean...teach your cat to walk you on a leash 😁
"Convince your cats to let you walk with them"
Is there something wrong with walking a cat on a leash???
😂😂😂
Azrael_stone480 cats arnt like dogs they like to be independant so walking them is actually cruel because your preventing them from running to do their own thing
Zerspell 🙄
I’ve been trying to get my cat to follow me outside on his leash. He’ll follow me inside just fine but outside he gets distracted by grass and bugs lol
That s good I think, better than being scared of outside ;)
You should make it gradual... maybe start opening the door and gradually get the cat closer and closer till it goes outside w no problems listening to you
Yeah, usually they just like to be outside in general and sniff around instead of going on actual walks like dogs do
Thats where the clicker training comes into play
@명수? calm down lol it’s an animal, let it explore outside
For anyone who isn’t having a hungry cat I would recommend cat treats even when my cat isn’t hungry she’ll usually want a little snack these worked perfectly for a good positive distraction
This video is adorable and I used it to train my cats to walk on a leash for when we go camping. They love getting to go outside and know it's time to walk when they see the harness. It took time and patience but it's a great way to have fun with your cat!
My family and I see you every year at Coolangatta. Your cats are so talented!
Oh Cool :0
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
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.
Als thats really cool. It makes me even more motivated to train my almost 10 year old
@@VoidCii it's well worth trying figure out what he loves in rewards. Current cat in a human management role is a Tripaw with a few less brain cells than average. He's trainable but haven't figured out how to secure a harness when you are missing a front limb.
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.
Hey guys, Thanks for joining. Are you going to teach your cat to walk on leash?
I would love to, I just fear I don't have the time to try to put a harness 4 times a day 😅
Yes, becoming TOO attached to the stray I neutered and feed. I blame YOU mostly. I don’t know how he’s gonna make it through the summer of over 50 days in the 110s but, he won’t stay in the house. Thanks for the great content. Lifelong dog trainer-- now hooked on cats. (I’m a mouth clicker for 20 years). People think I’m nuts!
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.
@@LOLOsugoi 2 to 4 times a day = 2 to 4 minutes?
Thank you so much for posting this! Hoping my cats can learn this in 6 months....I can only train them after I go home from work.
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!!!
I love your cats. You are a special man
At the beginning of the video: "use a harness!"
At the end of the video: uses a collar 3:04
Very true
Well, Didga is highly trained and used to this by now so I would guess she doesn’t mind by now
Today is the first day of my kittens leash and harness training! I've prepared everything in steps and she's doing great so far! Thank you so much for this tutorial.
This is genuinely such a good video. My cat has really been enjoying going outside she’ll usually just roll around in the grass or take naps in the bushes lol. She always sticks close so I’m not worried. The problem is cars, opossums, raccoons, coyotes, etc. She likes being outside so much though so I thought maybe leash training her might be nice 😊
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.
Thank you for REAL advice on harness training! I've so far got my cat used to the harness with lots of petting rewards (she's not food motivated.) And just started walking her on my apartment walkway with leash. Will start using the exploring steps next. 😺
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.

So Catmantoo, what kind of medical insurance do you have?
Catmantoo would you mind elaborating on the use of both a harness and a collar, despite your recommendation to only use the harness?
Thanks for sharing 😺cute instruction 👽
Thanks so much for this video!
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!!!!
This is so much more productive than most cat videos that (after harness training) say to just clip the leash on, go outside, and let your cat go wherever they want and follow them around haha
This helped a lot thank you! I have a 6th month kitten that I’m training to become my emotional support animal and needs to get used to being on a leash and walking outside but she would just fall over so this helped a lot with her training!
Thank you for the tutorial. I am looking to start leash training with my two 4 month old kittens and want to get it right the first time. 😊
Also, it's great seeing footage of Didga when she was little ❤
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
How's that working out for you?
I can't concentrate on the instruction because baby Didga and baby Boomer are so cute to watch! Love Bindi and Jeb, too, :)
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.
Any age cat can learn, but each cat has a different level of "scary cat" and some may never be able to be in busy places.
@Neko Good idea
Where do you find these cats ?? I did all that but my cats never fell for it. 😂
I’m training my cat as a kitten so she learns better
You have to start when they are kittens I think or it doesn't work
@@Aztecsanddehydration yeah I think but u can be able to train grown cats but not as easy as it is for kittens
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.
Baby Didga! So cute!
Oh yes! (still is) ;-)
Finally a video that has what i need i see all the videos about harness this harness that i just want to know how to make him walk🤣
I don't have a cat but I love watching those videos! Hope I'll have cats to train like this one day~
I salute you for all that you're doing. God bless you 🙏
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 !!
just got a kitten yesterday and he loves his harness already
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.
Live Chat earlier was very short and sweet , may we have some more, please ? Thank you .
👑.
🐯. 🎀💝🎀 Love to Didga xxxx
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
VERY HaPPy to have seen the Baby DIDGA. Always wishes to have seen the Little FIDGA. Didga, big GEorGE is learning :-)
I will try it the first lesson went quet well (apart from letting fall aside and trying to get it of sometimes). Will try to fallow the tutorial :)
My cat is very calm and lets me put on leashes and clothes on him without protest.
Yea I do he likes it
@Vlodec And how do u know? All cats are different in their own way.
@Vlodec I'm sorry... I was just trying to reassure you of the fact that maybe the cat just doesn't mind? I didn't mean to offend you if I did. Like I said, all cats are different. Again I'm sorry....geez...
Let's trade
lucky you
Excellent video thank you!
I showed my cat this video whats about to happen to him in future and the cat who got the food at training my cat starded to hit the screen with hes paw 😂❤
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. 😂🐈💕
Love to see more of your upcoming videos! We miss Digda and Boomer :)
Hi, working on a compilation of Didga's talents should be entertaining. follow on Instagram, lot's of pics and vids of the cats (and the two new ones) there.
i go with my cat for a walk with and without the leash. Never gave him food outside(he doesnt care about the food) just showed him its fun to be outside. So everyday he is waiting at the door to go out with me.
Thanks for this video...i was struggling with this.
This is excellent. Simba let's me put on harness but still flops down. I'll practice the walking like you're doing.
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.
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. 😻😻🙀🙀🙀
thankyou for making this video it was very helpful :))
Hai!
I'm from JAPAN.
I love Didga:D
That makes me happy
Tysm! I've been trying to reach my Bengal cat, gus, how to walk in a leash and since I watched this video it's starting to get better! so thanks!
i think my cat will enjoy this! she loves tightness, (wrapped in tight blankets, tight hugs, etc) and she already has a collar
Thanks for the tips and all. I tried it today and it just wasn’t working but now I will try this later
My girl is a rescue I take her out on a lead just up the lane by where I live.would love to take her further but it's a busy little street noisy with shops etc she enjoys going out.wags her tail and waits by the door 🥰
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
i love how this video is made its super informational and gives me early 2000s vibe 😎👍🏻
This is so cool, you helped me a lot, I’m finally able to walk my cat thanks to you! ☺️
How long did it took you?
Mewtokinda Dragovic a week more or less, you can check it on my channel, I have one video walking him
Thank you so much for teaching me it helped a lot!
Thanks for it's a big help with my cat going on a leash I hope you can send more videos like this😇
I loved this so much I subbed😁
"We couldn't of achieved this without the clicker."
COULDN'T HAVE!!!!
gosh darn i love cats so much
Excellent!!! Your kitties are so cute.
Finally a helpful video! Thank you so much ! :)
Man, your legs are impressive
Thanks for the tips
My kitten and I are ready
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
I don’t have a cat but I’m glad I know how to do this now
Thank you so much for this video ♡ 🐈
im moving to a city soon and my cats love the outdoors as they grew up on a farm i realy hope this wil inable the to still have some fun outside!
once again Thank you so much!
Very useful video thank you!❤️sorry for quiz.😢wish you luck!!❤️
I’m currently training my cat on a harness. when I put it on the first time *(it was about 11 PM)* she was biting and scratching me, but I managed. And I played with her, gave her treats, and extra attention.
The next day, at lunch time I put it on her and she didn’t really try to bite and scratch me as much, cause she was a bit distracted this time. After she finished her lunch, I immediately brought out her favorite toys, and her jackpot treat. And I played with her, gave her treats, and extra attention.
After that, I waited until her dinner time and I put the harness on her. This time, she didn’t even try to bite or scratch me at all. *(because she realized when it’s on she gets the extra attention lol)* I put it on safely, and this time I put it on longer than usual. I played with her for about probably 30 minutes straight, she was having so much fun that she forgot she even had a harness on. Then, when she was not looking.. I attached the leash and she didn’t seem to notice, I took her to my front yard *(she usually goes there because she loves the outdoors. and there’s trees, grass, and plants.)* she was happily walking around, smelling the plants, and running around a lot.
Then, the next day *(which is today/day 3)* I woke up early *(because she woke me up)* and she wanted to go in the storage room where we keep all of her cat stuff *(Including her harness).* then I just randomly put the harness on her and she didn’t even react at all, she was sitting there purring and it was super easy to put it on. Which was strange because she’s usually super energetic. Anyway, after many successes. I was convinced she needed to move onto the next step. She was comfortable in her harness like it wasn’t even there, she was running around freely with and without the leash attached. Anyway, once again I attached the leash on her. And she didn’t seem to mind at all. So I used the clicker training method to get her moving around as you suggested. And she did great! she was responding positively and coming each time I said “Luna, come here!” then clicked, and gave her the jackpot treat. Anyway, now it’s 12:30 PM as I’m writing this. I’m waiting for the right time to go outside since it’s so hot out. Maybe 3 PM. Wish me luck guys. I think she’ll love it.
*Backstory:*
I tried walking my one year old cat *(on a leash)* a few months ago, and took her to a park. *(With very little practice, like I just put the leash on b4 going to the park)* At first, she was so scared. She was going under the benches, trying to get back into her cat carrier box, and going very low onto the ground. But then, I tried carrying her and she calmed down a bit. Until she started looking around, and I saw fear in her eyes. *(Then we got kicked out of the park cause pets weren’t allowed lmfao).* Anyway, I also tried taking her with me on a picnic like maybe a week after that. And, she basically wouldn’t get out of her cat carrier box. After minutes of her not getting out, I took her out myself. *(Which I should NOT have done..)* she sat near me in fear, eventually she sat on my lap kind of hugging me, because she was so scared. And then I had to call it a day.
*Also, the first day I did 1 session.*
*The second day I did 4 sessions.*
*The third and last day I did 2 sessions.*
Awesome! 😀
This was great...thank you!
That was so helpful!! Thank’s , i’ll try this on my cat and see the results 🔥💜
Magnificent shot, friend.
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 :(
Thanks so much for making these wonderful, educational and entertaining videos! I gave you guys a like and have been a subscriber for yrs.. Will tell as many people as possible about your channel/Instagram and Facebook page to help spread the message so people adopt, not shop, and to show love, patience and kindness to all God's creatures!. Your cats are blessed to have you as their owner!😄 🐾🐾🐈🐈🌈 Sincerely, Diane in sunny Arizona 🌞😄
i love this video, i had such of a great time looking at it!❤
man i was so dumb i searched how to cat walk. luckily i found what im looking for
Sometimes my cat doesn't want to take his harness off LOL. ❤
Greaaat video!!! Very helpful, but for us slow readers it would of been amazing if the words were going to fast 😭 had to pause and rewind a lot 🥲 but other then that, thank you 💕 I’ll definitely take your tips!
I don't have cat but i like to watch this
just fantastic!
I'm watching this before I get my kitten inshallah (if God wills) I just love the idea of taking a cat on a walk at first I wanted my cat to be a house cat as my previous cat got run over by a car as we live in front of a two way road and I don't want to repeat the same thing so I think taking my cat on walks will help her be able to adventure while being safe
Thanks sir
Thank you for this! I'm thinking about getting my cat a leash and harness so I can take her on walks and to friends houses! Although, she's a bit of a brat. May not listen but I hope she will!
my goal of the year :) Thanks for hsaring!!!
I can't remember how Faith got to be so good on the leash but she is VERY good. I have a pet stroller that she will go to if upset or just tired of walking. It works very well. The poor stroller though is getting worn out.
My cat Valkyrie is a natural on the leash. She was 4 when we got her as a rescue so perhaps she's been on a leash before as now we take her to a few different parks and the local shops
Nice vid 😀
BRO OMG THANK YOU
Tank you sooooooo much
Thank u
*What breed is Didga?* My cat is the same breed but we don't know what it is.
Tabby?
Ill try this really hope it works
My little darling baby cat had an operation and for the first time of her life she couldn't get out. This means we had to buy a litter and forbidden her from going out. This was really hard for my baby cute little pumpkin and she screamed at the top of her lungs at the door. So I bought her a leash and a colar, just so she can enjoy going outside a bit but under my supervision so she doesn't hurt herself with the stitches. Weirdly enough I didn't have to do any training, putt the colar on without any difficulties same for the leash. Of course she's not following me, it's more like I follow her but today she got inside a bush and I had to pull on the leash, which she didn't like very much obviously. That's why I watched this video, to be honest I didn't even think about giving her a reward, I'm a dumbass
I am going to teach my cat so I can take her to therapy and friends houses.
I want my cat to learn this month cause holidays are coming up and I should take her and holiday we go out and we are not gonna be home and the problem is the place we are staying the thinks cats are dirty so idk what to do im so stressed
I could never imagine a day where I would be able to take my cats on a walk. They do what they want when they want and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to change that. They would be horrified to have to walk around with me 😂😂😂😂
