Training
*Siberians
are smart and can be trained.
*The
clicking method of training may
be used
in
order to teach them
tricks and to modify unwanted behaviors. You can purchase the book
"Clicking With Your Dog and use it the same way you would use
for a puppy.
*You
can also just take what they are naturally doing and state that word
for what they are doing,
whenever
they do it.
*For
example: When you put the food out maybe one of them stands on two
legs trying to see and taste the food. Whenever this kittie stands on
those two feet you might say: Up-up! Eventually this cat will know
what Up- up is and you may be able to get this cat to do Up- up on
command. My son taught one of our cats to jump up to get his head
petted by saying "pop a wheely" every time the
cat stood
on his hid legs.
Soon the cat "popped
a wheely on command!"
*If
they walk on counters and you don't want this you can try: picking
them up by the scruff of the neck, saying 'No', and putting them on
the floor. Another way to stop this is using a spray bottle. Spray
them with water if they come up. There are
sprays that can be bought and sprayd where you do not want your cat to go.
It will keep them away from these areas. A
final way that I know of is to place tape up-side down on surfaces
that you want your cat to be on..
