Training methods for American bobtail cats:

1. Reward: Reward refers to the means taken to strengthen the cat’s correct actions or consolidate the initially formed conditioned reflex. Reward methods include food, caress and praise.

2. Induction: Induction refers to a method of inducing a cat to perform a certain action by using delicious food and the trainer's movements. For example, while giving the "come" command, the trainer shakes a piece of food that the cat likes in front of the cat, but does not give it to the cat to eat. He retreats while constantly giving the "come" command. In this way, the cat will follow due to the temptation of food, and will soon form a conditioned reflex. The induction method is most suitable for kittens.

3. Punishment: Punishment is a method used to prevent cats from abnormal behaviors such as incorrect movements, including reprimands, tapping on the head and neck, etc.

4. Force: Force refers to the use of mechanical stimulation and threatening commands to force the cat to perform corresponding actions accurately and smoothly. For example, when training a cat to lie down, the trainer will press the cat down with his hands while giving the "lie down" command, forcing the cat to lie down. After repeating this several times, the cat will soon form a conditioned reflex to lie down. .

Precautions for training American Bobtail Cats:

1. Praise it in time when it performs well. Although the cat cannot understand the owner's words, it knows very well that the sound of scolding and the sound of praise are different. When a cat is praised, its mood will also improve, so the effect of education will gradually improve

2. Be patient. The obedience of cats is far less than that of dogs. Owners must pay more attention to training and patient teaching is very important.
