How do I train my Pet?

Train Your Pet

Want to train your cat (dog or other animal)? Use classical conditioning, which is a type of learning in which animals or people come to associate one stimulus with another, typically food. To get your cat to come to the sound of a whistle, sound the whistle before you feed your cat. Soon the cat will associate the whistle with food and come to the sound of the whistle. Be careful not to abuse this new trick. Every once in a while, you must pair the whistle with food if you want it to continue working.
