We always hope that our pet cats will behave well-behaved in front of us, but there will always be times when cats are extremely lethal. One day they will burst out and make the house a mess. If we want our pet cats to behave well-behaved and pleasant, we usually Cats need to be trained more, so how to train Ragdoll cats?

​1. Tone

When training, the tone should be serious, low and powerful as if commanding. When praising, the tone of voice should be very exaggerated and the tone should be brisk. In fact, our pets are like children. They should be authoritative when teaching, but don’t forget to be gentle and excited when appreciating them.

2. The attitude must be consistent

If your family has more than one person, remember that each member’s training attitude must be consistent. The following situation may confuse the cat in your home: Your brother doesn't like the cat jumping on the furniture and will chase the cat off every time he sees it. Who knows that my family is just the opposite? My sister loves to take the cat to the bed and caress it, my brother loves the cat to jump on the bookstore to grab the mouse on the computer screen, and my mother loves the cat to sit on the handle of the sofa and watch TV with her. It is not easy to break the bad habit of cats jumping on furniture.

3. Training time

It is best to do it before a meal. Cats will respond faster to learning when they are hungry. Each training session lasts about five minutes. The more times the better. It's best to train every day. If the cat gets bored, please wait and try again later. Prepare snacks during training. A cat is always a cat, not a dog. If you just praise the cat, it will not be too interested in learning. Do not give too many snacks to avoid affecting the absorption of nutrients from the meal. I suggest that snacks can be replaced with meals that cats like. If you find that cats like a certain brand of staple food, keep it until training and reward the cat with it. Then it is okay to feed more.

4. Be patient

Cats are far less obedient than dogs, so they have to spend more time training. Since each cat has a different personality, their absorption of various trainings is also different. Some active people seem to learn OVER (skip) faster. Those who are quiet will naturally absorb commands such as STAY (don’t move) better. It takes one to two days to learn it, and one to two weeks to master it correctly. During this one to two weeks, the cat seems to be in a state of confusion between understanding and not understanding. So patient teaching is important.

5. Real-time rewards and punishments

The memory of cats and dogs is not like that of humans. They will never understand the reason why you yelled at them when you came home from work and pointed at the garbage on the floor and the overturned trash can. If you don't catch it making a mistake on the spot, punishing it will only make it confused. Similarly,If it does something right, remember to praise it immediately, otherwise during the intervening period, it may yawn and scratch its hind legs. Then it knows that there are snacks because it did what you asked for.
