CLICKER TRAINING TRICKS
- aka "how to get treats the easy way"
Play dead
This is such an easy trick to do! When your human says "Play dead", you just lie down on your back and RELAX. Nothing to it.

•• Easy trick to do - AND relaxing.
High five and low five
High five and low five are easy to do. And an easy way to clicker train your human to give you treats. Just try it.
All you have to do is put your paw on your human's hand, when he or she holds it out. Easy peasy! AND if your paw is dirty, you can wipe it off on your human's hand at the same time : )

•• This is me, Sonny, demonstrating how to get my human to give me candy by giving her a "low five"!
•• And here I'm doing a "high five".
Sit or stand on your hind legs
This may seem a little more diffecult that high five and low five, but it's really not that hard to master. Just try sitting up - not much to it, right?
You do this trick, when your human raises his or her hand. At least this is a very common signal that a human wants you to do this trick.
It can be a little tricky (no pun intended!) to figure out, which hand and/or verbal signals mean what, but just do SOMETHING! Usually your human will think you are pretty clever no matter what you do. As long as you do SOMETHING! And it'll get you lots of treats and candy.

•• Here I am, sitting on my hind legs. Once you get the hang of it, it's quite fun, really!
•• And here I'm standing on my hind legs. This requires a little more balance, but you'll soon learn!
I can do tricks!!!
This is me doing tricks - I'm the Tonkinese/Havana Brown mix -- Emmy my "roommate is only 3 and she doesn't like the computer much...but my human mom and I do" -my human mom is teaching me to type (not really but I say what I want and she types it)
You know how we cats are hard to stay still. You have to catch me in the moment for tricks...I am getting there up in age. I just had a birthday 2 days ago (Jan 29) and I am the big "07"
When I learned tricks, my owner spoke of the trick and I did it. She never used a clicker. Sometimes that clicker noise would scare me --I am not skittish by all means not used to the clicking noise--
This one isn't too bad. I had to reach out and touch someone (top picture on the right).
Let me see if I can find another... (bottom picture).
My kitten years but my human mom said "get the ball" and I got it.
Oh. I don't know how to use a clicker : (
Hollywood suggested I learn! Next up she has plans to teach me "cat dancing" with her -using food as a reward.
