Well written and organized. The author provides a lot of information about basic behavior management theory which is fascinating and helpful. Of all the basic books on clicker training cats this one was my favorite. It provides far more than guidance on dealing with behavioral issues. It's also a great intro to clicker training specific to cats. One trip provided that was particularly helpful was how to find an alternative for a traditional clicker if your cat is afraid of the clicker noise. My cat was scared and ran from traditional clicker sounds. This book suggested using the click of a ballpoint pen, it worked beautifully.
In addition to basic instructions in clicker training there are also case studies and a chapter on training tricks. This book has a bit of everything for cat clicker training. It's obvious the author is very knowledge about the science and practical skills required to clicker train cats. It's so nice to have something like this that is specific to cats. The majority if the clicker training books are dog oriented.
My cat is named Norman Bates because, well....he's psycho. Very strong willed, stubborn, vindictive, you name it! He's also 7 years old, so I thought that it was impossible to train him, or any cat for that matter. After going through 2 sofas in 3 years due to his scratching, (down to the wood frame!) I was desperate.
A friend recommended this book and I can't tell you what a lifesaver it has been. My cat took to the training within 2 days, and has completely changed. He LOVES his training sessions, and learned how to sit after only a week.
Although I wish there was a little more specific detail in the book, I still gave it 5 stars, and you'll be able to quickly figure out whatever details are missing.
I'm a neophyte as a cat owner(?) or person, and I have been trying to find ways to curb our Kitty's destructive claws. She's an indoor/outdoor cat so she needs her claws, and most the vets in the area don't declaw anyways.
It's really a good book for someone like me who isn't sure why the cat has destroyed our furniture. I guess it's a process that I have to go through.
