Literally life changingI volunteer with cats, and I recently adopted my foster. Shes been described as 'geriatric' before. Shes now showing remarkable improvement: shes gained weight + muscle tone; even reversed some muscle wasting; she shows more obvious curiousity and seems braver/much more confident around people; she almost never hides under the bed anymore and when she does for comparatively almost no time.
The author in her book (she also has a website) basically predicts this, saying essentially clicker training can reduce stress for the animal while improving communication/the animals understanding… Thats certainly been my experience.
Most remarkable is how much its made it easier to do certain necessary things the cat hates; eg trimming nails and giving ear medicine.
Most surprisingly was realising how much troubleshooting I had to do because I had trained the cat inconsistently and without a plan. That, and that I had been training the cat without even realising (or as the author jokes, she trained me). eg, if you do not respond to meowing but do respond to scratching – guess what youve just taught the cat to do?
Overall the cat seems far more confident and less anxious now; she seems to have a better understanding of what to expect from her humans and how to respond in turn.
Probably the best thing I can say for this book and author: I read a *lot* of cat books in that first month or two when I got my foster; this is the only one I considered worth remembering.

Surprisingly Effective!I picked up "How to Clicker Train Your Cat: A Step-by-Step Guide to Teaching New Skills and Fun Tricks," not really knowing what to expect, and wow, has it been a game-changer!
This book is incredibly useful. It breaks down the process of clicker training in a way that's easy to understand and follow. I was honestly surprised at how quickly my cats picked up new tricks using the methods in this book. I never realized training cats could be so effective!
Each step in the training process is clearly explained, and the tips for teaching specific skills and tricks are spot-on. The book makes training feel less like a chore and more like a fun bonding experience with my cats. They seem to enjoy the learning process as much as I enjoy teaching them.
The progress I've seen in my cats since using this book has been remarkable. They're learning new things so quickly, and it's amazing to see how they respond to the clicker training. It's not just about the tricks; it's about the communication and connection that's developed between us.
Highly recommend it to anyone looking to teach their cat new skills in a fun and engaging way. This is very beginner friendly. If you already have a clear foundation for clicker training, this will still give you a refresher and make sure your foundation is solid while also giving you a few new things to try you probably haven't tried before.

InformativeShort, sweet book with good information. If only my cats could read it so that they understood what I'm trying to achieve and its not just a treat free-for-all with weird click sounds.
I will say, if you do decide to clicker train your cat, you made need to muffle the clicker sound initially. The loud, sharp sounds may startle them until they can get used to it.

Very helpful in lots of tricks and other things to train my cat in also.I trained my 18mo. old Bengal cat to jump thru a hoop (her favorite), do a high five, sit on a green cloth table mat, and am working on training her to ring a bell (see previous review). There are instructions for keeping your cat off the counter, biting your legs, feet or hands, scratching furniture, as well as doing tricks which are the most fun. I haven't done the others. She just doesn't to those bad things much. However it is useless to keep her off the counters because she will get on them when I'm not around and at night anyway, so I just have to keep things she shouldn't get in to, off the counters.

My cat and I are enjoying this!I'm training my very smart 5 year old cat. So far she has learned to be attentive and to touch her nose to a pointer. My eventual goal is to use the clicker to be able to brush her (she is long haired and hates to be brushed so this would be great!) She begs to train sometimes. So I'm glad I bought this : )

3.5 starsI was really excited to get into this training guide. The first few chapters were really helpful and set a solid foundation for me to get started. But as time went on, I found the exercises are sometimes a hit or miss.
I end up watching YouTube videos and piecing together a strategy that works for my cat and me. Clicker training is not a one size fits all, but I appreciate that the author made it easy and accessible especially in the early chapters for everyday folks like me.

Leuk geschreven informatief boekHeel handig en praktisch geschreven boekje. Kitten komt binnenkort dus dan kan ik het ook echt gaan uitproberen. Mijn 14 jarige kat heeft er allemaal niet zoveel zin in en ik ga hem er ook maar niet teveel mee storen maar de kitten wordt mijn clicker project en daarvoor gaat dit boek goed helpen verwacht ik.
