Book Description
With a little knowledge you can teach your cat to perform tricks. The belief that cats are independent and untrainable is a myth. The reality is, you can easily train your cat (the one that tore a hole in your couch) to do tricks. However, you do need to know what you're doing. That's where this book comes in. The following tricks are covered: Sit, Jump Into the Box, Touch, Up, Down, Speak, Allemande, Roll, Fetch, Drink Trick, Through the Hoop and (for the daring) Multi-cat Training. Beyond Purring: Tricks Your Cat Can Learn, provides a clear, concise chapter on the behavioral principles at play between you and your cat, step by step training instructions for each trick, photo illustrations, training techniques, a pre- training and post-training summary of each trick along with a good dose of humor. You'll be amazed at how quickly your cat can learn tricks. In most instances, it will only take a few learning trials before your cat is responding to verbal and gestural cues. Hey, your cat was already performing these behaviors - sit, roll, down, etc. Your cat just wasn't preforming these behaviors under stimuli of your choosing (verbal and gestural cues). This is what psychologists call stimulus control, and this is what makes it a trick. By applying a few basic behavioral principles in a structured way, you can communicate with kitty what behavior he or she should exhibit to get food (reinforcement). This is a powerful motivator, and no amount of effort will be spared to get the treat. As a result, rapid learning occurs. Think of training as solving a communication issue. "Gil demonstrated for me how he had trained his cat to jump through a hoop on command. I was spellbound! In my many years of practice and being around animals, I had never seen or thought it possible to teach a cat such a trick. I ask him to teach me how to do this with my my cat "Twiggy". He shared with me his technique and within two days, "Twiggy" had it down! This became an amazing feat demonstrated to many visitors to our home, an excellent party trick."Mark Johnson, DVM, Owner, Pender Veterinary CentreAuthor:* BA Psychology* Supervisor Northern Virginia Training Center* Staff Training* Inclusion Research Institute.
