Thank you!❤I went to a dog agility competition with my BFF and I loved it.I was sad that I could not do agility.Then I found out that there is cat agility❤😊
Hi. My cats are definitely not toy motivated. But they do love anything with cardboard or a cardboard smell. I can tell already that they will love this and will participate. Thanks. 😽
Thank you! My cat is not as playful as he was and I can tell he is bored. I don't have a lot of money to buy all the fancy climbing things. This is great because it uses things we already have in our homes.
My cat learns very fast, so i don't know what to do afterwards! How to give him proper mind exercises, if he learns everything in couple of days and than just gets bored? It's no fun for him anymore, just unnecessary movements to get treat
Thanks! My long haired black cat, Gemma Midnight just Loves to jump over her blue & white tabby sister, Cici and Cici Loves to be jumped over! Gemma Midnight will jump on verbally command, once they are in position. They are not treat motivated 😔now, if I could use tuna or wet food, maybe !
@@valerielindsey6291 I ended up getting a hula hoop from the dollar store, and a roll of wrapping paper - I used the inner roll from that as a bar for jumping.
Would agility be a good thing for our boy? Rescue Bombay, 18 months, hyperactive, intelligent, separation anxiety. Not food motivated. Can do sit+sit to brush teeth. Walks outside every morning in leash+harness. Mostly I'm looking to get better "meet dog/deer/anything" outside, as he often gets aggressive, and pulls hard to attack. He's still suspicious to strangers (very bad start in life). He's also very protective. (A lot of puppy in our cat.) I'm looking to increase his confidence, and drain some energy.
Maybe he could use a cat wheel? Hard to know w/o buying one, unfortunately. Bombay are little couch panthers - very rare. Those that I see at cat shows are usually low key, so maybe he will work through this in time.
@@kristenjunker1632 Our panter is now 2+ years old. Nope, no signs of slowing down. Still a combination of adhd, ptsd, 100% love+joy sprinkled with the occasional fart from hell. We love him endlessly. He is a gift no money can buy.
They can learn at any age! I didn't do any clicker training with my last cat until she was in her teens! She was not as active and we didn't do some of the things I do with my young cat (jumping through hoops, jumping onto my shoulders) and she moved more slowly, but otherwise learned just as well. :)
I stop play and turn away from him If he grips me with his teeth too hard I say, "niiiiiiceee!" in a calm but assertive way and then he goes gently. As a last resort I nip his forearm or top of his paw gently and he gets the message or I have a toy to distract him. I've even closed his mouth with my thumb and index finger. But keep in mind that he's purring the entire time, he's never growled or hissed or lashed out with his claws ever. He shows it through swishing his tail and clocking my head or against something that makes a sound. I get the message. Goid luck! 🙏🤞🌞
My cat jumps on my bed and wakes us up at night. We just got him and are new to training, what kind of training should we do to keep him off our bed (and preventing him from meowing all night because he wants to play)?
To prevent him from waking you up make sure to tire him maybe 0,5-1 hours before your bedtime. It could mean taking him for a walk, playing with him or doing a little training session (starting with simple tricks, all you really need is treats). I sometimes just throw dry treats for the cat so that he jumps trying to catch them and then runs after them -> repeat. The purpose of this is just to get rid of the excess energy and after that to cool down. In the beginning it's also crucial to not engage with him (e.g. giving food) in the night no matter how much he meows etc. (unless it's an emergency!) so that he doesn't learn that he can get what he wants by doing that. He will learn sooner or probably a bit later that the night hours are quiet hours. I'm not an expert but I have read a lot and have personal experience (with success).
Cats with cerebellar hypoplasia learn to adapt to their environment, which means they are capable of learning. I've seen many CH cats on Instagram learning new skills. There are TH-cam videos with CH cats doing physical therapy which is very similar to training, i.e., following treats around objects.

I love this channel! so many useful tips, me ad my cat will never get bored again :D
How do I find a roll? I can find Velcro and plungers but not the cardboard roll.

Showed this to our office cat. She's laughing her head off!
Looks like a lot of fun! If a cat is already trained to a target stick, could you start with the target stick instead of a treat when teaching?
Yes, you can! :)
Please, how did you make the hoop? And those cardboard rolls are wider than toilet paper/paper towels, please tell me where they came from? Thank you.
Looks like a large wooden embroidery hoop.

Hi my cats are almost 1 year old can I train them now

I would love to see a video about learning your cat to fetch.
We’re still working on going around an object 😩 my cat moves a little and then just sits and meows
These exercises can take a while to complete. Keep practicing :)
hi, can you teach us a method to train a cat not to bite you every single time they want to show affection or not to bite when we want to pet
Check out Jackson Galaxy

"Every cat can learn" probably doesn't include my cat with CH, but great video regardless :D

Cats? Training? This is more like to please for food to me..
