If you want to make the cats at home become well-behaved, sensible and charming, we must train the cats. There is a method called stimulation method. There are two types of stimulation methods: non-conditional stimulation and conditional stimulation. So what are non-conditional stimuli and conditional stimuli?
Non-conditional stimuli include mechanical stimuli and food stimuli.
Mechanical stimulation refers to the mechanical effects exerted by the trainer on the cat's body, including slapping, touching, and pressing. Mechanical stimulation is a forced sub-section, which can help cats make corresponding movements, and can fix postures and correct errors. The disadvantage of mechanical stimulation is that it can easily cause mental tension in the cat and inhibit training.
Training cats with non-conditional stimulation is a reward method. Good effect. However, the food used must be what the cat likes. Only when a cat becomes interested in food will it achieve good results. In the beginning of the training stage, every time an action is completed, the cat is rewarded for eating food, which will gradually decrease afterwards until the food is not given in the end. In actual training, the two stimulation methods are combined and applied to make the effect better.
Conditional stimuli: Conditional stimuli include passwords, gestures, whistles and ringtones. Commonly used conditional stimuli are passwords and gestures, especially passwords are the most commonly used stimuli. During training, the password must be combined with the corresponding non-conditional stimulus to make the cat form a conditioned reflex for the password. The tones of various passwords should be different, and the tones of each password should be consistent in front and back. Gestures are a stimulation to use your hands to make certain postures and shapes to direct cats. Gestures play a very important role in cat training. While creating and moving gestures, you should pay attention to the independence and ease of discernment of various gestures. Each gesture should be fixed and used accurately, and is clearly different from daily anger.
