Clicker train your cat in just 15 minutes a day with this easy-to-use guide

Clicker training uses positive reinforcement to teach your cat new skills, encourage good behavior, and correct undesirable behavior.

This guide to cat training includes:

• A progressive approach--Start small with essential commands and practical skills that serve as a foundation for additional training, solving behavioral problems, and bonding through play.
• Step-by-step instructions--Find clear directions that break down each cat training lesson into small steps so both you and your cat feel confident and comfortable.
• Cat communication basics--Learn what your cat is telling you through their body language, facial expressions, and vocalizations, and how their unique traits require training them differently than other animals.
