Training methods for Chinese civet cats:

1. Reward: Reward refers to the means adopted to strengthen the cat’s correct actions or consolidate the initially formed conditioned reflex. Reward methods include food, caress and praise.

2. Induction: Induction refers to a method of inducing a cat to perform a certain action by using delicious food and the trainer's movements. For example, while giving the "come" command, the trainer shakes a piece of food that the cat likes in front of the cat, but does not give it to the cat to eat. He retreats while constantly giving the "come" command. In this way, the cat will follow due to the temptation of food, and will soon form a conditioned reflex. The induction method is most suitable for kittens.

3. Punishment: Punishment is a method used to stop cats from incorrect movements and abnormal behaviors, including reprimands, tapping on the head and neck, etc.

4. Force: Force refers to the use of mechanical stimulation and threatening commands to force the cat to perform corresponding actions accurately and smoothly. For example, when training a cat to lie down, the trainer will press the cat down with his hands while giving the "lie down" command, forcing the cat to lie down. After repeating this several times, the cat will soon form a conditioned reflex to lie down. .

Precautions for training Chinese civet cats:

1. Absolutely no corporal punishment. If the cat is hit casually, it will create a sense of fear in the owner, and then develop a servile character. Because cats are much smaller than humans, they are more likely to be injured if they are hit.

2. Stop it immediately. The owner should strictly stop the cat's unruly behavior. The cat will not understand the meaning of the owner's words, but it will be frightened by the sound and stop. If the owner persists a few times, the cat will form a memory and will no longer be misbehaved.
