What is the method of training Ragdoll?

1. Education should start small

Childhood is a good time for Ragdolls to train and correct their bad habits. Relatively speaking, Ragdolls are relatively quick to accept at this time. Ragdolls can be trained to sit down from a young age, and they will be more accepting.

Training the cat to sit down:

1) It is very easy to ask the dog to obey the command to sit down consciously, but if the cat obeys the command to sit down, it is necessary to Take some work. During training, the owner can squat down and put his hand on the back of the puppet cat and say sit down. If the puppet cat sits down, he should praise it immediately and stroke it, but don't eat it immediately. something to reward it.

2) After a while, you can say Get up to the Ragdoll cat and let go of your hand, and reward the Ragdoll cat with something he usually likes to eat. Repeat this practice, and gradually lengthen the time you hold your hand on the back to increase the time the ragdoll sits down. After a period of time, you can do the training not to put your hands on the back of the Ragdoll. If the Ragdoll stands up halfway through the training, immediately bring it back to its original place to sit down, and strictly say sit down, and then repeat the previous training.

3) After a period of about one to two weeks of training Ragdoll cats to sit down, generally Ragdoll cats can begin to obey commands.

2. You can train before meals

Do training when the puppet is hungry, and then use food as a reward, which may improve the puppet’s training The positive effect of the column will be relatively better.

Training Ragdolls to scratch wooden posts:

1) Ragdolls like to scratch objects with their claws, such as tree trunks or wooden objects, and sometimes scratch on the ground.

2) Ragdolls also have such a habit when scratching objects: they always like to scratch at the same place or part. This is because Ragdoll cats have abundant glands on their feet that secrete a sticky, odorous fluid. During the scratching process, rub it on the surface of the object being scratched, and the smell of these mucus will attract the cat to scratch at the same spot again. For domestic cats, if you do not pay attention to the training of ragdoll cats, they will often scratch the furniture and scratch the floor.

3) Before training the puppet cat, you should prepare a wooden post, about 70 cm long and 20 cm thick, and fix it upright near the cat's nest, so that the puppet cat can scratch. The texture of the wooden posts should be firm. During training, bring the puppet cat to the wooden post, grab the two front legs of the puppet cat with both hands, and place the two front feet on the wooden post, simulating the puppet cat's scratching action, so that the puppet cat's feet The secretions of the glands can then be smeared on the wooden posts. After many times of training, coupled with the attraction of the smell of secretions, the puppet cat will scratch on the wooden post. After developing the habit, the puppet cat will no longer scratch on the furniture.

3. Maintain a good environment

A good environment is very important for cats. If it is in a place that is too noisy, the cat will not like it very much, and it will not be able to concentrate. The training effect may be greatly reduced, and cats are also very sensitive, and they will be alert to the environment if they are not careful, so landlords who want to make cats feel completely safe can go for a walk in the park.
