Description

Do you have to wrestle your cat into the carrier when it's time to go to the vet? At the very least this is stressful, at worst someone gets injured. This course teaches you how to use positive reinforcement methods to get your cat to voluntarily walk into the carrier on cue. Scientific research shows that cats who slowly work up to and practice carrier training with positive reinforcement are more relaxed in their carriers— and you will be, too! You also bond with your cat and start learning clicker training so you can teach more skills on your training journey! Any cat can do this. The example cat in the videos is 15 years old.


Carrier training is essential for:

-Routine vet visits

- Household or cat-specific emergencies

- Travel, from locally to internationally


Carrier training can help with:

-An interesting family science project— you read that right! This course is based on behavioral psychology and applied animal behavior research.

-Building confidence in your cat.

-Giving your bored cat something to DO instead of chasing their tail, knocking things over, and driving you bananas!
