Training collar for cats
Cats like dogs, you will need a collar for your cat. There will be times when you want to walk the cat or leave it on a leash. By having a necklace, it will be easy to do both.
Collar training takes time, patience from both the cat and you. If your cat has never worn a collar, you will need to go through the training step by step.
Let's take a look at getting a collar for your cat. The market is flooded with necklaces of all shapes and sizes, in every color and pattern you can think of, from cheap necklaces to expensive necklaces. When looking at the collars, you will also see cat harness, this may be in place of the collar. You would put the harness around the cat to serve the same as a collar.
Some examples of glow-in-the-dark leashes and collars and some that have a small light on so that at night you can see the cat outside and know where it is.
What is the right collar for your cat? One of the things when buying a collar for your cat is that you don't want one that is too big, one with a lot of collar hanging off once you put it on, and of course never put a collar on it or put a collar on it that is too tight for the cat. You'll want the necklace to have at least one good loose finger on the necklace, but not lose it, as you don't want it to come off.
When buying the cat collar, when you bring it home, the first thing you want to do with it is clean it with warm water, to help eliminate odors from other people or pets. If there are other smells in the collar, the cat may not want to have anything to do with the collar. .
Lower the collar and let the cat look at you for a while, it will rub itself, it might even hiss at you, and all these acts are a good sign that things may be going well. Then, after thinking that the cat has been fine with the collar, it is to make your cat relax. A good idea would be to put the cat on your lap and massage it. This will help the cat to relax, after seeing that the cat has relaxed for a while, now is the time to put the collar around the cat's neck for the cat to wear. You'll want to put the collar on your cat a couple of times a day until you know the cat is allowing the collar to stay there.
The next step would be to put the collar on the cat, but leaving it as loose as possible, so that if your cat is not ready, they can remove it immediately. Do not slide the collar over the cat's head, but you will need to fasten the collar properly. Putting the collar on the cat's head could scare it. As the cat gets used to the collar, you should adjust it every day until you have the right fit for the cat.
After the cat has been wearing the collar for several days, this is a good time to put the cat on the leash. Following the same principle that you used for your cat's collar, you can do the same with the leash. This will be very important so that the cat knows that the leash is a good tool and not something that will harm it.
With collar and leash training, you'll want to reward the cat with a small treat at different stages the cat gets used to wearing the collar. This will also help with the use of the strap.
Training a cat collar will require a lot of patience and care on your part for your cat.
In the end, the rewards for both you and the cat will be fantastic.
