My Typical Training Session Outdoors

December 1, 2021 By: Summer Samba15 Comments

Summer shows one of her typical cat training sessions outdoors.

The weather is continuing to be pleasant and even a little warm for this time of year. So I’m still getting to do my training sessions outdoors! Here’s how they typically go these days.

Somali cat during Stay practice

My human thinks I’ve been getting a little sloppy with my Stay command. She doesn’t want me walking up to get the treat when she says okay anymore. So we have been working on that.

It’s not the most exciting trick, but it’s crucial to so much else I do. Sort of like a piano player practicing scales, or a singer doing vocal exercises. At least that’s what my human says.

After my stay practice, I ran up the stone steps around the side to do some high fives.

My human says that although I’m consistent in my high fives, my form could be better. So we worked on that. No matter how long you’ve been doing something, you still need to keep working on your weak spots. Here is my tip for doing that: make sure your practice always includes treats!

    Our mom could take your advice. She often slacks in things she should be keeping up on.

    Looks like you had a great training session. And nice enough weather that you could do it outside.

    I practice yipping for dinner every day for about an hour. Does that count?

    Running up the stairs is not only fun but good for you too!
    I need to do some of that. Your human is right about the practice.
    All skills need practice. Lucky you with the warm weather.

    Treats are a GREAT “motivator” right Summer?

    I would agree that treats are a pawsome reward during training sessions 😉
