Cat Clicker Training In Action
As Karen provides commentary on a cat training video, she reviews many of the basic clicker training ideas. Watch as clicker trainer Catherine Crawmer goes through these basics of clicker training with a rescued cat. Clicker Magic has long been a classic video for learning the concepts of clicker training. Karen Pryor teaches you all the techniques and essentials you need in order to have your pet clicker trained in no time! There are 20 live demonstrations by Karen and other top trainers. See how it works with young and old dogs, cats, a mule, and even a fish! Long considered the standard, Clicker Magic provides a solid introduction and inspiring, fantastic footage. "Clicker training" is the popular term for the training or teaching method based on what we know about how living organisms learn. Research has shown that any creature—whether a dog, cat, dolphin, parrot, fish, horse, llama, or person—is more likely to learn and repeat actions that result in consequences it desires and enjoys. So clicker trainers provide consequences desired by their animal in exchange for actions or behaviors desired by their trainers. We call these consequences "rewards" and the process is called "reinforcement." Clicker training, therefore, is a positive-reinforcement-based system of training. First widely used by dolphin trainers who needed a way to teach behavior without using physical force, operant conditioning (the scientific term for clicker training) can be and has been successfully ...
Our teacup Himalayan kitten, Marie, has finally fully recovered from hernia repair surgery, so it was time for some basic training. Marie is quite sharp, picking up the commands within a couple of training sessions. Here, she "comes here," "sits," "shakes right/left hand," and "gluteus" for treats and petting rewards.

I love how she tries to go “over” the “tunnel” and ends up hitting her head on it. XD
But this is such an awesome video. It gives me hope that maybe one day I can train my very shy cat.
Try Turkey baby food without any seasonings or additives. She can eat it quickly and most cats seem to love it.
clicker training works great for cats. Cats won’t starve themselves to death, but you can stack the odds in your favor by feeding at regular times instead of leaving food out all the time, and doing your training before a mealtime. You can also use treats instead of the cat’s regular food, or use canned food and put it in a cake decorating tube.
this was a great video. that cat was great at the agility course
Very nice video, I never thought of training cats.. but nice work in doing so
Oh oH has anyone read down the right hand side of this video?
Even a fish…
I know your problem, my miniature poodle is exactly the same way. I found out that she becomes a completely different dog around tennis balls, though … so toys can actually mean more to your pet than food does!
You can see this is not the case if you watch the cat’s behavior. She’s focused on finding that object and tagging it, actively looking for it. An untrained cat will maybe pat something you wave in front of her face, but it takes communication to establish that she gets “paid” for tapping that particular object, that she must seek it out.
the cat will be fat soon hahahaha, clicker system….
have you tried using treats? if you use the same food as the one it’s already receiving “for free” in a bowl, it won’t see any reason to work for it. it needs to be something worth it’s attention. also maybe there’s other things it likes. like being pet or playing with a certain toy.
good luck!
Maybe you could try to use toys instead. The reward can be very random but there must be something that your cat likes.
~Luck~ xD
My cat don’t like food much. She drink more than she eat. How am I supposed to train her when she isn’t very interested about food? Only time I see her eat, is when I eat. But she drink more than she eat.
I love it!!! I have read three books and ordered my clicker – all I need now is the kitten, she arrives next Monday, wish me luck!
wow amazing I learned lots form that vid
the cat looks like she is haveing fun!
actually, you click AFTER to mark the behaviour, to say good job, heres your reward. look up zacgeorge21 or some of the horse ct’ers. they ALL do the same, with outstanding results. not to mention that they are pros.
actually, in every training vid ive seen, u click AFTER to REWARD the behaviour. that tells the animal “u did great!”
But everyone, remember that this probably won’t take….2 days. It needs time so have patience.
This cat is already trained to do those things, at least the targeting part. How i know it? Because that woman does it all wrong and despite that, the cat is doing exactly and immediately what he should.
I don’t know if I should be happy or offended that men can be trained by a clicker. It sure would be nice to be positively reinforced for picking up my clothes. But, it sucks to think that people can manipulate each other for personal gain. What do you think?
my cat never listens lol
all she does is sit on my lap and watch TV and chase the laser light
Amzing!!! – how do you get her so enthusiastic?
it needs to be hungry thats all
So glad to see this vid up on youtube! for those just getting started, note that her clicks are a bit late. This could be because of the delay between video and sound… I don’t know! You want to click WHILE the animal is doing the bheaviour, not after.
your voice sounds gay
@as12er5 *Her haha
