Walk Your Cat on a Leash to Promote Good Cat Behavior

"Hi! I am Dr. Adrienne Mulligan, I own Camp Verde Veterinary Clinic, and I am here today on behalf of expertvillage.com to talk to you about cat obedience. Now I am going to show you how one would teach a kitty to walk on a leash. First, you get them liking the treats and then… pay attention… pay attention… he wants to run away. You want to put something down there, even if it is a step or two and you want to move him toward it, even one step is fine, and the next time it can be two steps, and then he feels the pressure from the harness and he moves a few steps, and then he gets a treat. So little by little… it takes a longtime, but pretty soon you get them used to the fact that, when they feel the pressure on the harness, when they feel the pressure and you bring them with the harness to the treat, and then they get the treat, then that is how they learn… that walking on the harness gets them to the treat. I am tired of that but that is the general principle."
