I've decided to give clicker training a try and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with clicker training cats (or cats and dogs).

The clicker came with directions which were pretty clear but they are for training a dog, and I was just wondering if there's something different I should be doing to train a cat.

I'm going to do some more reading but if anyone wants to share their experiences with clicker training cats that would be great.

I've actually just started clicker training my cat a couple of weeks ago, so I'm no expert, however, I can say that Ockie has responded well to it.

My sister and I started with just "click-treating" him for a couple of minutes each day to help him associate the sound with the treat and have now moved on to using as positive reinforcement when he is calm and well-behaved.

As far as I know from the online research we did, there isn't anything specific to cats that's different from how dogs are clicker trained.
