eAudio - 2016

Dog owners know that dogs can be trained, but the idea of training rarely crosses cat owners' minds. But as bestselling anthrozoologist John Bradshaw and cat expert Sarah Ellis show, not only can cats be trained, but they absolutely should be to ensure a happy and healthy relationship between pet and owner. Once we comprehend cats' emotions and needs, we can train them to overcome their natural fears and anxieties. Full of training tips and exercises for nearly every scenario-from introducing your cat to a new baby to teaching cats to live alongside dogs to helping cats deal with visits to the vet-The Trainable Cat is an essential manual for cat owners everywhere.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Renowned anthrozoologist Bradshaw (Cat Sense and Dog Sense) and feline behavioral specialist Ellis provide readers with a comprehensive look at what motivates cats, and explain how to train cats by understanding the way they perceive the world. Training cats, the authors assert, benefits owners and cats by making shared environments less stressful for cats and more pleasant for all. Practical training tips and explanations as to why cats behave as they do-such as scratching furniture or attacking their owner's feet-are provided in each chapter. Exercises include crate training a cat, ensuring tranquility in multicat or multi-animal homes, and safely clipping a cat's claws. Cat lovers will appreciate the sensible advice and in-depth explanations of feline behavior. (Sept.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
