You know those dog training classes they have at pet stores?

Would you ever take a cat to a training class like that? And yes, cats can be trained the same as dogs. So knowing that your cat could be trained the same as a dog, would you ever take your cat to a class to learn obedience or tricks?
Wow, really positive answers! I agree, I think it would bring a cat and owner closer, just like training a dog would. I don’t think many people think about that, though!

Does anyone know anywhere that offers those classes for cats?

Dog Training – The No Command

THE COMMAND “NO”
One of the first and most imperative things for the puppy to learn is to obey the command, “No.” Teaching this should start in the housebreaking period. Whenever the animal makes a mistake it should be told briskly, “No,” grasped by the scruff of the neck, shown what it has done, and then placed on its housebreaking paper.

The sharp “No” should also accompany any excess barking or biting on the part of the puppy as well as any other of its undesirable actions.

The tone of voice and the attitude of the owner must be such as to make it completely clear to the puppy that disapproval is expressed. The dog will gradually come to associate unpleasantness with the word “No,” and will often seek refuge in its bed until the “heat is off.”

The owner should maintain aloofness for a couple of minutes. By that time the pup has forgotten about the whole thing, and further punishment would serve no purpose. Dogs seem to grasp the meaning of the word “No” very quickly, and this is a good thing because the word is invaluable in further training.

Does anyone know of any good Dog training schools in NY?

I’m interested in becoming a dog trainer and have searched in many places (yahoo.com, superpages.com etc…) and couldn’t find much for dog training schools, except for obedience courses for my dog, but that’s not what I want.

Thanks a lot!
