PAW TRICKS to teach your cat (high five, low five, fist bump)

[@Adventist1997]

Cats deserve so much more recognition for their intelligence.

[@lokilover3746]

you are so right!

[@JochenSzostek]

Absolutely! Dogs are overrated.

[@K4113B4113]

I'm gonna teach my cat a 1 minute handshake sequence. It will look bomb

[@museumbackpackergo7427]

Thank you very much for your VDO. I adopted a three-year-old cat from the shelter. She's really jumpy and afraid of everything. I try your technique two months after adoption to strengthen our bond, and it works like a miracle! Now, I can convince everyone around me that shelter cats are not too old to learn new tricks. Just give them time and love. Thanks again for putting this practical technique.

[@genevieveboucher2124]

i adopted a 6 1/2 years old cat from a shelter. we started to do trick he was around 8 or more... i had him jump, low 5 and high 5 and he did recognize his name. It's never too late and shelter cats are worth it too. Sometimes all their baggage makes them more special.

[@alysewolf3892]

The triple is super cute omg I love your kitty❤

[@ryanbishop1013]

My cats picked this up in about 20 minutes of training. Thanks!

[@ws292]

the cat is gorgeous. he is shinning with the sunshine

[@IreneWY]

My cat learned high 5 in 1 session. I was mind blown. He learned man, sit and turn around just as quickly. I didn't think of fist bump, that'll be next :)

[@Mayonasium]

My cat always uses her mouth when I try to teach these tricks. I've been looking for a way to get past that and really appreciate the snippet at the beginning helping with that!

[@nonstopmuazz]

You deserve to be the coach and manager for cat training . I love your efforts eventhough i dont have a cat 🐈 which is so sad 😢😔

[@tamarafrom1746]

I love the way you train, got so much out of it for my cat as well ❤Thank you

[@verosa85]

I LOVE YOUR TEACHING METHODS!! Easy and simple!!💕💕💕

[@TheLittleCarnivore]

The girls know fist bump, and pawing at a post it, I will try these at the next session!

[@thelakeshow6847]

It's so dope how your cat is trained. Thanks for showing others how to train their cats!

[@sakurafalls2468]

I live in an apartment with LOTS of pigeons, so my cats keep getting distracted 😭 Closing the curtains doesn't help 'cause they'll just move behind them. I'll try to experience with more high quality treats, but I don't think any of it can compensate for the five pigeons dancing in front of my window XD

[@egg_lover7725]

Thank you so much for this ❤ I had no idea where to start but in one session we’ve had so much improvement! To the start of our journey of bonding and fun!🎉

[@anna8576]

Wonderfully simple and logical training!

[@marissawhitacre5817]

Yay! so intelligent! I've just started training my 2 kittens. Day 2 and they are doing so well! Thank you!

[@leerv.]

This is so cute!! I bought the Cat School training kit and we've already worked with it for three days! So far, progress is really inspiring! I'm trying this skill, with mixed results. My 1.25 year old cat is great at putting her paw right in the cup, but the 6 month old kitten is still rather people-shy and going slower, she wants to put her nose in even though it won't fit. That or she licks or bites my hand for the treats' taste. My gut tells me to absolutely NOT move her paw myself, so I am being patient, and even in one session she's doing better already. :) Thank you so much, Julie! I never would have tried clicker training a cat; the common sentiment is cats are largely un-trainable, but you show that to be a complete myth!

[@genevieveboucher2124]

yes my 5 months old kitten is sometimes too excited for any of this... i keep thinking do whatever you can, be patient, keep practicing... she may not be ready for this now... but later she will be... kitties can only jump to the ceiling for so long...

[@elyababakova2125]

Nicee! I trained my cat to do this during one day :) Never thought that training a cat would be easier than training a dog

[@unpolish]

We are so impressed with this video. Thank you! How old was the black cat when you started training? And how do you prevent the cat from going around you and take the treats from the cup on your left?

[@CatSchool]

Jones was around 10 months when I started training him. He understands the rules of the game so he doesn't "usually" try to sneak and get the treats, but I recommend new students wear a treat pouch so the treats will be out of sight.

[@Selanon321]

Thank you so much!! I used your methods to teach Kenny both tricks and how to press the FluentPet buttons to communicate, now I have a kitten, K'leah (weird name, I know, pronounced like Cleo but with an a) and we're going through the same courses, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS!! I'D BE LOST WITHOUT THEM!!! They eat different foods, Kenny is on a special Urinary food that K'leah can't eat, so I have to pick up their food between meals, but he's a grazer, so the main use for the buttons is him asking to finish his last meal. Without your videos I wouldn't've been able to teach him to press said buttons!

[@Selanon321]

Also, side note, Kenny never mastered roll over, he was quite stubborn about not doing it, and had a lot of personality about "why are you making me do this, human" but K'leah got it first lesson, first suggestion, actually, when i guided the treat behind her head she was like WOOP (Kenny is 13, K'leah is about 16 weeks)

[@najablack7375]

Now my cat comes up to me and paws my hands for a treat all the time! How to fix

[@jaylemeux]

I'm watching this video with my boys who have done some clicker training and they're all alert

[@newasmitaelectronics7235]

Love your channel and your cat good Joey 👍

[@tsouska]

Julie and Jones I absolutely adore your videos and I am always looking forward to the next one. I am trying the tips with my cat and I am loving it!!!

[@JhunDumsTVXj]

amazing

[@ajayraj21751]

Nice 👍

[@anthony3604]

Cool a new trick i will train Pruski for the exam XD

[@Aaine784]

This is such a great video, thank you! I started training my 8 month old ragdoll after watching it, he is SUPER food motivated. It's only been a few days of short sessions is he tapping my palm with the post it note. I already taught him to sit with the clicker. Only problem is I stupidly used the same colour post it I use for everything else around the house. I went to throw one in the bin today and as soon as he saw the blue post it in my hand, he sat at my feet and started licking his lips....training time!! haha. I think he'll have the high 5 down in the next couple of days though. I also have a 12 month old Burmese who is SUPER smart but couldn't care less about food bribes. None of this works on him, he just walks off bored. Any suggestions for that?

[@CatSchool]

It sounds like you need to build your cat's food motivation. Check out our video on treats: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpKyd5h8oN6og7M

[@IreneWY]

Do the training sessions when he's hungry. My cat is food motivated, but I still do it after his afternoon nap, before he gets dinner.

[@Dante_eq]

I love your videos thank you

[@arandominternetuser66]

Im getting a cat soon and I am excited to use this technique! But I have a question. What snacks do you use?

[@kestiameshad]

Thank you for making your channel! I have my clicker on the way but for now, I managed to train my kitten to shake paws. However, I notice that he'll try to get to my cup of treats straight away, how do you train your cat to be patient and not try to steal the treats?

[@4NDREW100]

It shows cats are able to be trained, they just aren't as attention needy as dogs

[@zacqhuss1773]

Hi,,, can share what treat you give Jones for training.... URGENT,,,, Thanks

[@TheLordAI]

I wonder if u could fade the clickr to oral commands

[@gitcat8160]

What about the cups and platforms where can I get those?

[@karlahegglin7981]

Awwww

[@unclechenandcats4589]

谢谢你的分享❤❤❤

[@zacqhuss1773]

Where can get the small cup for training???

[@hayleyb.3454]

Long time lurker, first time commenter. Thank you for your well designed videos!! With your help, my cats have mastered these basics very quickly (+ sit & spin) but it’s hard to get them onto anything more complex that builds on these basics. All they want to do is high five, sit, spin. Nothing else! Trying something new results in their frustration and eventually them walking away. Any tips or ideas on how to get past the plateau (or if I should just accept this is their max level)?

[@CatSchool]

This would be a great question for our monthly membership program where students can post a video and get feedback and support on their training. I'm sure once I see what's going on, I can help you overcome this challenge. www.catschool.co

[@hayleyb.3454]

@@CatSchool thanks Julie, I will look into it soon! Things are a bit hectic at the moment so I don’t feel I have the time to dedicate to make it worth joining the community right now. Looking forward to it though!! And in the mean time… sit spin and high five it is 😜

[@rhnaka8025]

Hello Julie I just brought a kitten yearstaday and She is very frightened. She even doesn't eat food. When I come near her she always runs and hides.What should I do?

[@joannecpenner]

I tried with my cat and she is more interested in the clicker and the treats in the bag

[@PhilHalper1]

Thanks for this, once you trained your cat to do a fist bump with a treat, how many times should you repeat before thinking he can do it without a treat ?

[@3CH1DNA]

The cat is fist bumping and high fiving with different paws. Can you train specific paws for each?

[@3whitehens]

My Gracie won't stick her paw in the cup! She just stares at my hand waiting for the treat! How do 8 get her to paw for the treat?

[@potato72312]

I have a 2 year old cat and he learned what the clicker meant and sort of high five, but then I stopped for a while because of a trip and now its like he's never seen or heard a clicker before. Any tips on how to get him back on track with training?

[@foxylucy2112]

Hi!! How old should be the cat to start these tricks? Can I teach these to a little cat? (a few months)

[@Reykjavic]

My cat is 4 weeks old. How old is ideal for training. For 4 week old kitten trick you recommend.?

[@notmelony2431]

I sadly dont have a clicker... is there something else i can use?

[@vicky83614]

You can make a clicking sound with your mouth as well. Just keep it consistent

[@JasminMarsters]

This is great! How do you get your cat to not attack your treats cup 😭 While I’m trying to teach her she’s just going straight for my small treats container.

[@suvendroseal1724]

Keep the treats in your pockets instead of keeping it in visibility.

[@suvendroseal1724]

Take out one treat at a time.

[@dennistang6459]

Cat: why am I only getting one treat instead of three at last? XD

[@pandachannn]

My cat learned this in 2 days!!🥰 ( she has a low attention span lol )

[@bomberdils]

Could you please link the cups? We dont have any cups that are small enough but i cant seem to find any on amazon either.. i wanted to use the same cups for the cup game! Thank you 😊

[@ddeadmeat]

I'm going to use a shot glass lool

[@alalpoutino]

Hi Julie! Thanks to you my rescue cat enjoys his new life of showing off his intelligence! I came across a challenge with this trick: When he does the paw, he is able to target but I realize when I transition into fist bump that he gives paw with claws out. I think it was because he would try to get the treat out of the cup at first with his claws. Do you have any advice on how to train him to not use his claws but just paw? thank you so much!

[@started609]

1. How many days should we train our cat? 2. Should we need to give it treats even after training?

[@Netrali_s]

What click is done ??

[@genevieveboucher2124]

My cat doesn't even try to stick a paw in the cup... i really have no clue what to do about it. She sorts of try to reach but never puts the paw in the cup. We did achieve the low 5 a long time ago even without a clicker and we do high 5... but no paw in the cup. I did the sticky note trick without a cup for the low 5 and high 5... starting from the floor to my hand

[@bip-i_i]

so after teaching a cat to do tricks well enough that they can do them without treats, is it necessary to still train with treats periodically and if so how often?

[@psantacruz5317]

Great video!! Why doesn't he try to reach the cup full of treats??

[@CatSchool]

He knows the rules of the training game :)

[@evalinemwangi9541]

how old should my kitten be for me to make it adapt its name???

[@tinar1142]

what if your cat doesn't like dry treats, only wet?

[@meerjawad6889]

Is there someone to reply...? My cat always so sharp in playing.....while too lazy in learning tricks......wts to do.....😒 And Target time too Short...

[@utaug595]

So my cat just keeps putting his hand in the cup, but not tapping the top. Anything I can do?

[@Thjorn]

My cat learned this on her own in like 5 minutes by touching my hand when she wanted to be petted.

[@jenblog978]

My kitten learned fast but now uses long nails on the back of my hands. Any tips?

[@Official_Sp1rit]

The High five one works, but my cat uses his claws, does anyone know how to help

[@aleezah4649]

How do i make him hit the cup in my hand 😭 he’s hitting it on the floor

[@bethjeans3780]

Thank you! On average - though cats are never average - could the entire process be done in a day with broken up 5-minute sessions? A week? Obviously it would vary, but just wondered about what you’ve seen or heard.

[@CatSchool]

Training may look something like this: Day 1: Paw target a cup. Day 2: Raise the cup and get rid of the treat; Day 3 -5: Repeat previous steps and work towards the Fist bump; Day 6: Introduce the sticky note. A couple of weeks is realistic. Have fun, and don't worry about the end goal since it's all about giving your cat the daily mental enrichment they need.

[@bethjeans3780]

@@CatSchool Thank you so much! And high (and low) five to Jones.

[@sejlatalic9436]

You see that’s what I thought my cat would’ve tried to paw it bc they saw the treat right but they just looked at it and ignored me so I’m not sure the problem seems nearly impossible to teach my cat anything and I’m starting to get frustrated

[@fahathnafham9515]

Did you trained before making video

[@Lee-AnneFleming]

How is your cat not just going for the tub of treats? We have 2 cats (5mth old brothers) who are very food motivated, but if we have a tub of treats they just go for the treats. So do you have a 0.001 version for that skill?

[@CatSchool]

Training teaches the cat self-control around distractions so Jones can work with the food visible. I recommend tucking the treats inside a treat pouch.

[@charlesqwu]

Is cat smarter than most other cats?

I tried it with my 4yo cat he scratched my hand 😭😭
