Book Description Perhaps you thought training a cat was an impossible task. Maybe you think your cat's too independent, too stubborn or too wild. Not so! In 50 Ways to Train Your Cat, author Sally Franklin's easy training methods keep feline instincts in mind. You can achieve wonderful results by working with your cat's nature rather than against it. At the same time you'll create a deeper bond with your cat through increased interaction and positive reinforcement. Among other things, your cat will learn to leave the curtains alone, climb up-and down!-a tree and get along with dogs. More precocious cats can try tricks like swimming and retrieving. Sally Franklin's methods proceed at a cat's own pace, and bring even the most difficult skills within your cat's reach. By spending just a few minutes each day, you'll make life with your cat easier, happier and more fulfilling.
Easier than you think -- I was able to train my kitten to sit, lie down, shake hands, and roll over using this book. The techniques are simple and it really does work. Each trick took about a week to learn. I still read about how impossible it is to train your cat, but using the techniques in this book it was simple. My friends and family are amazed, and teaching and learning skills helps us to bond.
Excellent training techniques -- This book has excellent training techniques. I particularly enjoyed the wide variety of training methods. Speaking from experience, the methods work. I was able to teach my cat to sit, within just a small amount of time I saw results. There are techniques from teaching your cat to stay off the table to teaching him to play dead. I was amazed at the different tricks a cat can learn. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves their cat and wants to prove that their cat is smart.
Reviews:
A great book -- I train cat and this is the best book every all my friend and customer love it. Are you bor of trying everything with no help or iprovment. This book is the key she tell how to do in so many different was if you don't like 1 just go to the next. If you love your cat it will show with this book. and it is so cheap that if you don't like it you could sell it ... have fun with this book. i did!!! love your cat or cats
waste of time -- If you want to train your cat, this book is a waste of time. Sally Franklin doesn't really tell us how to do it in many cases. Many of her 50 ways are not telling us much. "to get on with the vet: 4. Take your cat on a visit to meet the vet...this initial meeting will enable you how to assess how your cat adapts to the vet's handling. 5. If the initial meeting goes well, register your cat with the parctice." Ok, and if it doesn't? Or: "To climb a tree and get down: 1. Now encourage the cat to back down the tree." How, Id' like to know! "3. If this doesn't work, use a ladder, or seek expert help from your local Fire Station" Well, thanks for the advise.
Great training tips -- This book is great!!! My cat learned a lot from it and so did I! Some of my friends thought I was crazy for thinking that I can train my cat because my cat is very, very active, but i did and now my cat is very trained! I even preformed in front of people the tricks that my cat learned and everyone loved them! Read this book and train your cat to do easy simple tricks, like stand on his/her back legs and much, much, much MORE!!! Read this book and you will be happy you did!!! #1 Cat Training Book Ever!!!
Glad I didn't pay full price -- I have to agree with the other reviewer who said this book was a waste. I found the large majority of this book to be a waste of paper, and the only halfway useful parts are in the "Clever Cats" section in the back of the book (pages 58-64) which helps to teach tricks such as sitting, begging, shake hands, jump through a hoop, etc. There is one section "Train your cat to respect caged pets." I eagerly turned to this page in the book, as I do have a caged pet, and read: "Keep both parties away from each other, in seperate parts of the house." Gee thanks. I think I had that one figured out BEFORE I bought this book.
Cats aren't Computers --- This book seemed like most Computer books I read. Define the problem and then a procedural step by step list of how to "solve" the problem. It just seems cold, calulating and impersonal. This may work with computers, but not with something living. The book just lists the steps, and if your cat doesn't follow the steps listed, oh well. The author also seems to be streaching to reach the 50 training tips mentioned in the title as most seemed to come natural to my cats or were common sense to me.
