What is the most impressive trick you can think of training a cat to do?
this is an option*
Design a plan to teach a cat to do awesome trick including:
1.Operant conditioning principle.
2.Reinforcement schedule(s)
3.Shaping schedule.
4.Overall time line.
I believe that someone knows what I am talking about above.
Most Cats can be taught how to play fetch. I learned that Smokey Joe had the ability when he was 10 weeks old and picked a ball up in his mouth. Smokey Joe was a natural. He chased the ball, picked it up, and dropped it after moving it to another location. I only needed to encourage him to bring the ball all the way back to me. With the introduction of treat re-enforcement, Smokey Joe is now a fetcher that can give Spot a run for the money. You may wonder if this is a testament to a cat’s ability or a result of his owner’s laziness to not want to get up to play, honestly, it’s both.
Cats can be taught loads of tricks, such as rolling over, shaking hands, high five, even ’speak’. Most cat’s are so intellegent, that with positive reinforcement, and teaching him that if the behavior nets a reward, it will be repeated. Consistency is also essential.
Note: Some pets may not be interested in food treats. For those pets, the reward could be in the form of a toy or brief play, or a simple cuddle/love.
