Think training is just for dogs? Think again! Founder of The Happy Kitty Rescue, Grace Choi, shares how to train your kitten using positive reinforcement. These easy steps can help you bond with your kitten while teaching them useful skills.
00:00 Introduction
Training isn’t just for dogs, your kitten can learn too!
00:25 Start with positive reinforcement
Reward the behaviors you want to see so your kitten learns what earns them treats and praise.
00:46 Try clicker training
Mark behaviors with a click and follow with a reward to reinforce exactly what they did right.
01:11 Teach the “Look at Me” cue
Get their attention with a sound, then reward them when they look at you. Over time, add in the verbal cue.
01:31 Teach the “Touch” cue
Encourage your kitten to touch a target with their nose. This can be a fun building block for tricks and other games.
01:45 Make training fun
Turn training into playtime with toys to keep them engaged and excited.
02:02 Redirect unwanted behaviors
If your kitten scratches furniture, don’t punish them. Give them a scratcher instead and reward them for using it.
