Cat dads and cat ladies have been around for a while. We are here to teach cat parents how to train their cats within a new paradigm.
As a cat lover I'm sure you want the best for your cats. Adventuring with your cat, clicker training, teaching them tricks and feeding your cat high quality food is going to get you there. Having a happy cat that loves you is easy. Start training positive reinforcement and going outdoors with them!

Hey, so just to clarify, when on step 2, do you continue to click and treat or just treat them?
I just rewatched the video and it’s not super clear... sorry for that.
STEP 2) Remove the treat from the hand that is moving the index finger (the trigger for the command). The treat will be in the other hand and you have to keep “clicking” and rewarding when the desired behavior happens.
Hope this helps! ☺️
Thanks for this. I don’t suppose you have any tips for stopping the cat from climbing dining chairs as I’m worried it will ruin the material?
@@ellewolfe4553 with cats the ideal is to do 2 things. Provide a better alternative and reward them when they use it. If they are seeking a high spot, offer a high spot near the table.

How do i avoid my kitten from biting when taking the treat
Dude, you are the reason I am currently training my cats. You made me want to have adventures with them!
Hi there,
I was wondering if you don't mind me asking, are you training more than one cat together? I'm wanting to adopt two kittens soon and l'd like to use the click system but am not sure it's going to work with two? I think it's easier to teach one rather than two cats. How are you managing? Would you maybe have a tip or link that could help me on those lines?
Thanks for your time and have fun with your cats. 🐈😻
hows training going
Me too
Me too!
Sammeeee🎉
I've just tried this todat to my cat for like 10x in a row and she already succeeded following my hands without any food on my hand! She's so smart coz it only took her 5 minutes to learn this 😭💖 Thank you for the tips!
I'm so happy for you and your cat!
AWESOME video! For those revisiting this… training technique starts: 5:10
I accidentally trained my cat to lick my index finger.
I LOVE everything you stand for about cats!!
Thanks so much!!! 😍
I do too that's great what he's doing and yes I believe cats can go out like dogs do.
I adopted 2 1 year old sisters they hadn't been trained or properly socialized to the point they'd fight over food bowl even though there was 2 down but thanks to your videos I have been training them and we have been learning together. They understand there names, no and finger targeting and they no longer fight over food. Thank you so much for all your help and I think its incredible your normalizing cat training and advertures keep it up! Smudge is a faster learning than Lunar but both are coming on remarkably fast
Thanks so much for the kind words! Wishing you the best in the journey! :)
I am getting a cat this weekend, and stumbled on your channel. Immediately subscribed because of how infectious your love for Mia is! She's very very lucky to have you.
Thanks for subbing! Good luck with your new adventures!
Me to
It is great that you and your cat have such a strong bond! You are doing really well with your channel, and I hope you keep making more videos!!!
This is brilliant, thank you! I'm so glad I found your channel... exactly what I needed. 🙏
I got a kitten last week and this is so helpful! Thanks to you Albert and to Mia too for making this video!!
I finally understand why the clicker works! Great explanation.
That was the best explanation for 'why to use the clicker' I've ever heard... NOW, I will use a clicker! Thanks!
I have taught my cat how to sit , down, round round in a circle like u did in video on the bed. And also how to sit pretty so far. He is so smart. He learns in just one day !! He is so smart and I thank you for this video it REALLY helped me to teach Sunshine !! Now I need to find another trick to teach him !! ❣️
One of my new favorite channels.
just found this channel and i've been binge watching all your videos! . great content bro keep it up!
MIND BLOWING!
So happy to find your channel! We are getting a bengal this summer and want to know everything there is to know!
Welcome to the club! Enjoy the ride!
My four year old cat is very anxious and skittish - I was recommended your videos as a way to help make it less stressful to take him to the vet. He already seems to enjoy our little training sessions, and he focuses on them immediately. I feel like they are a nice way for us to bond and understand each other. Thank you for making these!
❤
Thanks! Im about to get 2 beautiful Maine Coons and am absolutely in love with your channel - cant wait to start training with them and watch them grow and provide a positive and rewarding cat life :)
Hey, can I know how it went for you? I'm just about to get 2 kittens too
Albert. This is so wonderful! I just taught my 6 week old kitten to move to certain areas of his cat tree using your technique. Thank you!!
YEAHHH! I love to hear that you guys learn and it helps improve your cat parents life! Thanks for sharing!
I just did this with Luna and it works marvellously! She already knew sit due to me simply waiting for her to sit before I put her food bowl down, but I was wondering about how to proceed. Thank you!
I just found your channel today, but I'm very excited to see how these tricks can help my cat Freddie! I already taught him sit, and high five, but I was struggling getting him used to his harness, (because he LOVES OUTDOORS and tries to get outside every chance he gets) and I would LOVE a way to get him to behave other than the spray bottle when he's knocking fragile and spillable things over all the time 😅 I KNOW in my heart Freddie is an adventure cat. He hitched a ride from Florida, to Iowa, all the way home with me to Colorado! I just want to know how to get him to love his backpack carrier and harness and leash. (Cause once he gets the picture, he's gonna LOVE walks)
🤏🏽On the counter…. 🤏🏽Off the bed… 🤏🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽😻😻 I love your channel SO MUCH! It’s a life changer. Thank you sooo much 😻
Thank you so much!! Glad it's helping!!
Youre so funny!!! i got a 5month old female 2 weeks ago, and Ive bever had a cat before, this is so helpful!!! Thank you
I love this man Albert I also love people who also love cats. Great video!
I will be bringing two kittens home soon. I will be sure to let you know how training them goes. Also, your not stupid and I appreciate your videos!
Great Channel! We started with adventuring and didn't realize clicker training existed until we got into the catexplorer community. Thanks for making this channel to help us level up our skills! 🙃🐾
Glad it was helpful! Welcome aboard!
I like your channel and have followed you for last 2 yrs. I want to start my own channel, and teach others to train their cats, I'm 65 and a aneurysm survieor. I would like to include some of your videos, I hope you don't mind and still learning how to edit. You are my inspiration! I have 4 rescues that I'm training now, for last 2 yrs and you got me started and I Thank You.
You’re how I got the idea of taking my very active and curious kitten out! She wanted it but I had no idea how to do it in a safe way. the cat I had before was severely traumatized and wanted nothing to do with the outside world so I never had to give it any thoughts.. THAK YOU! You and Mia are awesome! 💜 hugs from!! 🇧🇷
I´m so happy you realize how important it is to move slow and at their pace! Afte r all, we are taking them out for their enjoyment, so ensuring they enjoy is basic!
Hey, I just found out about your channel. And I loved it. Even I started to doing it. But my only question is should I train her one thing at a time? (E.g clicker training, finger targeting, train her to jump on shoulder) how much gap should I take between those different learning session?
Love your channel! You are great! 🐱
I started the cliker training on my cat and i was really surprised, because it worked ! So i'm going to keep train him !
Thank you for the vidoes !
Great to hear! have fun with it!
Wow she’s so gorgeous, I’ve been binging a few of your videos cause my family is going to get a new kitten soon and it’s really cool what you and Mia do, wish me luck!
Thank you so much for this!!
This helps my cat a lot!❤
Hey!! If you tried the trick, I'd love to know if it worked out for you! :)
I've just discovered this channel and it's amazing. Thank you! I have a 7 months old cat and I'm going to try these tricks. I'm from Spain and I'm trying to understand everything you say 🙈 Where are you from?
Hi Albert, I'm still on the first part of finger targeting, my cat always bites my finger and tries to catch me with his nails, hurting me in the process. How can I stop this behavior?
Hey Albert and Mia! My kitten, Sapphire, is doing excellent with finger training. I greatly appreciate your videos!!
So happy I found your videos! We're adopting a 3 year old cat on Sunday and I would love to try to train her with a clicker! Thanks so much for the videos, super informative and to the point. Now I have left this comment, I will binge the rest of your videos - so excited for my kitty!
OMG! Thanks so much for taking a minute to share some love! I really appreciate it! Ping me if you have doubts! Let's normalize that cats want to go on adventures as well!
I'm glad you made this video

Getting a cat very soon and just found your channel while researching, I've known id want to train my cat so i can take her out with me, thank you for your content! it's so helpful and shows cats arent just lazy little beasts! hahah
haha Thank you so much! I like this myth busting part of this hobby! hehe
Best of luck with your new companion!
Very informative 👍. By the way, I love the intro.
Thank you!! Trying to add some value :)
This is a great channel!
Love your videos Albert😻.
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Michael Jordan and I are working on finger targeting right now! Thanks Albert and Mia!
Love your videos!!! So helpful
Thank you for taking a minute to share some love and appreciation! This comments keep me going! :)
you are so sweet and informative, thank you!
You are so welcome!
I’m getting a kitten soon and I’m very exited to try to learn it some tricks!
Thank for this tips. I’ll try this with Sky. Keep it coming.
Will do! Good luck with finger targetting! It's a great trick to have in your arsenal!
Just got a kitten and I’m so glad I found your channel! He learned to associate the click with a treat in under a week :). Trying this next
Thanks bro, I appreciate it alot, your great work on your cat and to show us how, I really appreciate it, Thanks man
Glad to help
I love your every thing about cat
Ok you got me! I just got a cat. Male 8 month old adopted from a shelter. Got a clicker! I’m charging my clicker, got that. I’m in
love what you stand for and have been watching a lot of your videos. finally got to start clicker training my cat and it's going amazing. I was wondering after the second step do we need to award them with a treat after every successful finger targeting? and would it hurt the training if I just did the finger targeting and just awarded him by petting him?
I'm getting a new kitten in a couple months. I was hoping to start clicker training them, and these videos have been very helpful!!
Thank you so much! All the best!
Albert, in 4 weeks, Una, our Pedigree Bengal, will come home for the first time. Your videos are VERY, VERY helpful. You opened a world for me that I didn't know existed. Gracias!
I'm so glad you appreciate them! I wish you the best of luck with your bonding experience!!
@@OutdoorBengal Wish me patience 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are a joy
Thanks so much!!!
Thank you !!!!🥰🥰❤️❤️
Thank you so much new sub!
I absolutely love you guys! Mia is BEAUTIFUL! And I can't wait to use your training to help my little Gelli to do the same things! She is such a curious kit already! I wonder if you think she might be able to influence our older 1 1/2 year old kit to be adventurous again as well; he was when he was younger but not so much anymore and I definitely didn't know the tools to try and change it when he was young. Is there hope for our 2 kits to come outdoors and adventure with us together?
Absolutely! A month ago I helped a couple to get their cat into walking on a leash after 2 years of them trying. Cats can learn to be comfortable out of the comfort zone but you have to do it sweet, slow and consistently. Try to introduce treats and playtime when the older one is on the harness and you'll see how better they get. Any breed and any age is trainable, it might just require a little extra patience.
- And yes, definetely the smaller one is going to push the older one. Specially if the older one sees that the smaller gets to go outdoors with you and he might be stuck at home instead.
Play, Praise, Reward, Repeat :)
I feel like i just saw you yesterday and ive just watched all your videos, AMAZING CONTENT 🤩🤩🤩
Wow, thanks!
Never thought of training of my Kitty ever before.... It appears, both of you ARE so WELL matched and have really great report, MUTUALLY...
I have LOVED my Kitty the way it was; Seldom cuddling beyond the time for bed NOR allowing me to carry it in my arms, although when it was time to retire, my Kitty was the ONE to never be replaced by ANY OTHER...
I did not have to teach tricks of any kind, although ONCE I was amazed, the Animal would have gone THAT Far for it's Human when the PROTECTIVE Instincts have "kicked in" AND even DOG's sense of which they are known for, would not have matched it's Quality at Crucial moment, just about when the danger of electrical! current that could not have been foretold, has traveled through my place while being witnessed by patiently awaiting me "Toilet~sitter" and somehow seeing the current to under the floor the way I have perceived it much later on... I KNOW, it is not very normal for the CAT to create a "Bonding" with the species OTHER than it's own, but at times, I have wondered about the issue of LOYALTY,
a Dog, a Cat, a Horse or a Bird at timéd DO put on display as ONE of a Kind...
Absolutely! Even within species, each animal it's a soul of its own. I'm so happy you have had the opportunity to experience a strong bond as well! :)
Love this!! I've been training my cat to go outside and she already likes it but now I'm gonna train her into more things!
Wonderful! Keep me posted! Seeing progress makes me so happy!
Getting a Bengal kitten this Friday. This is incredibly helpful to see what is possible!
There's plenty more! and... if you can't find what you need, please let me know!
Thank you for posting these videos! I got a clicker last week and Marty, my cat is already starting to associate it with treats. I'm curious, now that Mia knows these tricks so well, do you still reward her every time? Or will she follow the commands without reward since it's so ingrained at this point?
Already trying this with my cat!
Miata is doing pretty good 😄
I’m so happy to hear that! Good luck!
I am going to try this to my cat!!!
It’s a fun trick but, most of all, an enabler!
yayyyyyyyyyyyy thankyou!
I am currently trying to train my 2-month-old kitten, and I have to keep it to a minimum 3 minute and maximum 5 minute mark because she gets distracted so easily. This is the 1st training i have tried, and she comes when she sees my finger pointing at an object even without a treat, so I know it's working. Lol, it will just take consistency and dedication on my part, but I'm determined!
Great i ll try it
Have fun! Let me know how it goes!
Thank you so much for your lessons! I am on my way to utilizing your teaching and my cat (Jin-Genie) is doing great! He is learning so fast!
Is there a verbal command to go with finger targeting?
Our sweet Teo and Pesto are around 9 months old now. I tried to teach them this trick, the clicker is for sure 'charged' as they immediately look down for a treat once they hear it. I train with them in separate rooms for context. But I've been running into a problem: one tries to bite my finger for the treat, and the other uses their nails to grab my hand to have the treat. Outside of trying to teach them this trick they have never done either of these things.
😂❤that is so dear!❤😂
This is amazing! Thank you. I do have a question the kitten I’m adopting is 11 weeks and I wanted to start harness training as she will be an inside cat. Do you recommend clicker training first then harness ? Also how long do you usually recommend between new tricks.
Thank you in advance ❤
Hey! Thank you. Which collar do yoiu use for outdoors.
Love your channel! Thank you for bringing hope that we can take our cat on van journeys with my partner!
She is 4 months old - is it too early or too late for clicker training?
Thanks so much for the kind words! 4 months is about the perfect timing! Just published a video about it a few weeks ago: th-cam.com/video/YxxCqtJ93zU/w-d-xo.html
Good luck!!
I teached my cat watching ur video but now he is not anymore but when I saw your video I remembered him
Hi Albert, big fan of your content. I just discovered your channel a week ago and my 4 month old cat already learned the “no” command with the clicker. I’m finding it difficult to transition from the no/clicker trick to the one were it follows my finger, since every time she sees a treat she stands back until I click. Any tips for her to learn this new trick without unlearning to wait until I click to eat her treats?
Thanks for this video! I have a 13 week Bengal that I taught to finder target in just a couple days after watching your videos!
How long did you go before removing the clicker and treat everytime?
You have no idea how happy it makes me to see that my content is useful to people that just like me want to do more with their cats! :)
I still do training sessions on a daily basis where I go through the tricks that she knows as well teaching new ones. Within training sessions, she always get rewarded with her favorite treats, outside, she doesn't. My recommendation is that you keep reinforcing the behaviors you like, at some point a "good boy" or a rub in the head will be enough, but don't stop reinforcing.
Long Story Short: Keep the treats until you see that the behavior is super stablished. Keep reinforcing but without the treat afterwards. Don't stop the training sessions, the more you train, the faster they learn. Also, the bond that the training creates is unparalleled.
KEEP IT UP!
What is the best escape proof cat harness that you could recommend please?
Hello, I have started charging the clicker. Is it ok if I use smoked turkey (the ones for making a toast) as a reward together with the clicker?
Thanks a lot for all the info and the videos, please keep 'em coming.
You got me on the intro hum-da-drum > Subs! Oneday a feral 5 month kitten walked into my cabin.....oh man shes a wild "pocket rocket" ~ let the challenge begin ; >
Get to it Fabio
Thank you so much for sharing these skills!!!!!! I'm bout to follow the tutorial and start to train my cat from today.....
sadly i failed...my cat come and bite me on my finger instead of touching it by her nose. i did't give the treat to my cat and my cat just walked away. : (
Have fun!
This is a long process. Don't give up. Specially at the beginning, it takes a while for cats to undersatnd what's going on. Try it every day, several times a day. Make sure that as soon as your cat touches or gets close to your finger, you reward them.
Consistency is key. :)
@@OutdoorBengal thank you for cheering me up.i tried for the third day.and my cat can jump on my sholder now without treat in my hand.BUT she jump up with her claws out it really hurts!! AND she don't understant that i just need her to touch me with nose, she bite me every time...... H E L P !!!!
@@OutdoorBengal i think there's something wrong logically....but i've no idea how to fix it....lol
Great video! Have you been able to teach your cat to play fetch? Please, please show me. My cat always runs towards a toy when I toss it, but she doesn't get that she's supposed to bring it back. I think she's capable of learning, but I just don't know how to help her.
I love this channel I am new subscriber I always take my cat Jae out doors I never trained him before but he behaves pretty well people think it’s weird he out with me but I love him . I’m so happy I found your channel because this really helps me to train him, he’s not bad so this seem easy to do with him thanks so much.
I love Mia she is so adorable 🥰
Wishing you lot's of success in the training process! You are going to see how the bond with your cat goes to the next level!
@@OutdoorBengal thanks 🙏🏽
Love your taining ideas.. I am excited to begin training for my kitten tomorrow when clicker arrives. My kitty is only 3 months old.. Is that too early?
Mia is beautiful..
that's a beautiful cat
Thank you! :)
I love it
Thanks so much for taking a moment to share some love! :)
I lost my cat BG that I had for almost 19 years. I knew that when I got another baby I wanted to train her to go out on walks. I now have Starlight which was around 4 months when I got her & about 5 months now. I’m so glad I found your videos. I had bought a halter which is bulky that I am starting her on. Right now we are on day 4 of putting it on & clicker training her with treats. She is walking with it on to get the treats & touch my finger. Love training her this way. I am waiting on the outdoor bengal harness to get here. With your help I should have her walking with me at some time. Only problem is I have a small dog that I walk & of course he walks in front of me. So when I walk her also I imagine she will be walking ahead with her brother Sky Pilot. You say not to have them walk ahead but I believe I will not have a choice. Any thoughts on this?
🥰❤️👍
excited to start clicker training! thank you for this video. my cat is 4 years old, is it too late?
Not at all! cats of all ages can learn! Give it a try!
Hi. I just found your channel and I have an 8 year old Maine Coon. I've used a clicker to do hi fives with him and he'll touch his nose to my finger and thats it. I taught him these things when he was 4 yrs old. He's very good at them now. Do you think he's too old to learn more? I'm going to follow your channel and try.
Hi Albert, my kitten has been free fed his whole life, and I watched your videos which all say to switch him to scheduled feedings, and I did at 11 weeks, but he's refusing to eat any of his food. His breeder said that they're supposed to graze, but that makes him highly unmotivated for treats. What should I do or can you recommend a better transition from free feeding to scheduled?
You act so much more natural in this video. More of this please, you seem very nice !
I should be getting my Bengal kitty super soon, I was wondering at which age Mia was when you started committing to the training, I don't want to push him or her if they are not ready yet.
I really am so excited to get my 2 Bengals In 2 weeks :DDD (names are Leo and Calvin 😀)
Can you do a video on benefits of training your cat ?
I'm loving these videos! Quick question: Once I have trained my cat to follow my finger, should I continue giving her treats for doing so?
Cats react to our commands because there's an expectation of a treat. If you never reward a behavior outside a training session, the expectation of a treat outside the training session is non-existant and thus, there's no motivation to comply.
My recommendation is to reward intermitently outside sessions. Not always, but sometimes. This will increase the expectation. Intermitent reinforcement is a very strong motivator (think about gambling and casinos) hope this helps!
Hey, which treats do you guys use? Have a 4 months old bengal and i want to start training him but i’m not sure aboit treats ive seen on Amazon checking by my own.
I really like ur videos and also want to train my cat but I don’t know which kind of treat should I buy for my cat so can u suggest me the best treat which can train my cat? Thx!
