Trick & Behavior Training
Clicker training is an excellent way to provide your cat with the mental and physical stimulation they need. If you have a bored or destructive cat, clicker training can give them a positive outlet to expend their energy. They can also learn practical skills such as riding in a carrier, riding in the car, getting their nails trimmed, etc.
With my Trick & Behavior Training packages, your cat will learn skills such as:
- Sit
- Coming when called
- High-five / Low-five / Fist Bump
- Staying in place
- Jumping on and off
- Carrier training
- Car training
- Nail trim training
- and more!
I will come to your home to work with your cat, and I will also give you the information and skills you need to work with your cat in between visits.
Problem Behavior Solutions
Does your cat have issues with:
- Going to the bathroom outside the litterbox
- Scratching the furniture
- Jumping on your kitchen counters
- Door-dashing
- Bullying another cat in your household
- Waking you up in the middle of the night
Don’t worry, there are solutions to all of these behaviors!
I will work with you and your cat to help solve the behavior(s) that need fixing.
New Cat Introductions
Adding a new cat to your family has the potential to cause tension and possibly even behavioral issues or fighting. To avoid any complications and to set your cats up for a lifetime of friendship and happiness, it’s important to strategically introduce your new cat.
I will come to your home to work with you and your cats to make sure the introductions go as smoothly as possible. I will also give you the information you need to work on the introductions in between visits.
Harness & Leash Training
Do you have goals of enjoying the great outdoors together with your cat? Whether it’s for hiking, traveling, or just to safely enjoy your backyard, harness and leash training is a great form of enrichment.
With my Harness & Leash Training packages, your cat will learn skills such as:
- Wearing a harness
- Walking on a leash
- Getting comfortable with the outdoors
- Getting in and out of a carrier or backpack
- Riding in the car
- Recall
I will come to your home to work with your cat, and I will also give you the information and skills you need to work with your cat in between visits.
Catification Consultations
Catification: “the art of making changes and adjustments to your home that meet the needs of both you and your cat (aesthetically and spatially).”
