To encourage cats there must be treats and rewards.
When your cat hears rustling of a food bag
or a can opener sounds does you cat come running?
This would be a clear illustration of such behavior.
Cats hear those sounds and often related them to food rewards.

Make sure to first take your pet to the veterinarian,
to ensure there are no undetected health issues
that be be aggrabated or intesified by the training activities.

For the highest effectiveness be sure to give immediate
appraisal such as treats, a full tasty meal,
or even a toy as a reward just to
ensure your cat has been properly
encouraged to maintain good behavior.

At a later time after your cat relates the saying
"good" with a treat and the positive act you may
later use just the saying and a nice
scratch behind the ears for positive reenforcement.

Using positive emphasis and reinforcement,
the pet will be willing to learn good behaviors
and basic instructions or commands.

Training tip and guidlines:

1. It is better to start before the pet
has a chance to form or develop any unwanted behavior.
So for a more responsive and open experience
try to start when they are kittens.

2. A gentle hug, caress or whisper will leave
a longer impression than yelling and bitter words.
So try to give positive reinforcement at all times.

3. Training must be limited.
Frequently but brief. Cats work better
in four to six sessions of 5 minutes intervals
of training rather than two one hour sessions.
Because cats possess a short attention span
and lose interest very quickly.

4. To limit the cat's distractions such as climbing
a tree or playing with the neighboring pets
keep training indoors.

Discipline should be instilled for a well behaved cat,
but tough punishment must be avoided.
Cats usually do not respond to hitting or yelling.
That generally leaves them afraid of you doing
the action rather than the bad behavior.
During training the pet with defer from negative acts.
Keep your approach a positive one.
In response to your negative actions
the pet will stop loving you and will not
achieve the desired result of having a happy
loving relationship with your wonderful pet cat!
