1. How to train a cat to sit down

It is easy to tell the dog to obey the command, and it is easy to consciously sit down, but it is necessary for the cat to obey The order to sit down takes a bit of work. During training, the owner can squat down and put his hand on the back of the ragdoll cat

and say sit down. Massage it, but don't reward it with something you eat right away.

After a while, you can say Get up to the Ragdoll and let go of your hand, while rewarding the Ragdoll with something she 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.

Second, how to train Ragdolls to scratch wooden posts

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

When ragdolls are scratching objects, they also have such a habit: they always like to scratch at the same place or the same 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.

Before training, prepare a wooden post, about 70 cm long and 20 cm thick, and fix it upright near the cat's nest to make it easier for the puppet cat to 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.

For ragdoll cats who have developed the habit of scratching furniture, during training, they should cover the outside of the scratched furniture with plastic boards, wooden boards, etc., and then place them in an appropriate position in front of the scratched furniture. Place a solid wooden post or plank and train the cat to scratch on the post or plank in the same way as above. After the puppet cat develops the habit of scratching on the wooden post or plank, you can move the wooden post or plank slowly until it moves to the place you see fit. The distance should not be too large every time you move the wooden post or plank.

Compared with other cats, Ragdoll cats are better trained, because Ragdoll cats docilely obey the owner's arrangement, but there are also some naughty Ragdoll cats who do not obey the owner's arrangement. Faced with this type of sweater, you should be more patient and not beat and scold, which may cause a shadow to the cat's psychology.
