I am looking for some high value cat treats for Charlie as I am doing clicker training with him. They have to be irresistible, something he doesn't usually have and easy to carry around. Any ideas peeps?
-
What does he usually have?
I give mine Whiskers temptations, and Natures menu they come in carry size packets.
-
He usually has either a bit of chicken or whiskas temptations
-
Maybe try the other Whiskers treats, the kitbits etc
Or maybe the sprinkle biscuits, Whiskers and Felix do them, you know the ones which you sprinkle on their wet food? These would be better as they are smaller so he wouldnt be getting too many and this would be more cost effective I think.

Where can you buy a clicker to train cats?
-
Could you not just use a pen? :evillaugh:
-
Would that work? :evillaugh: I don't think i have any clicky pens ;D
-
You could go to a stationairy shop and try them out to see which one has the loudest click :rofl:
-
Good point. i'll go tomorrow :rofl:
-
Thrive cat treats come in tubes. They are freeze dried pieces of chicken or prawns. My boys would sell their soul for a thrive treat.
-
I haven't bought them since Kylie went on a diet but the cheapo Thomas treats go down really well here - about 40p a bag in Tesco :evillaugh:
Also the Felix chicken ones but not the fish sticks. Nature's menu ones are also popular :)
-
Chicken and cheese whiskas tempations :drool; Both the boys love tempations, Riley is a fan of felix sticks too - they have little lines on so you can break them into small segments, Lu won't even lick one so I don't think they are as foolproof as a WT.
Where can you buy a clicker to train cats?
I got one from Pets at home in the dog section.

mine broke into a packet of thrive prawns once!
-
It has to be something he doesn't normally have and he does have Temptations. Bought some Thrive prawn from PAH and he likes them so looks like they might be the thing!
-
chicken, cheese, ham and sausage and liver are the high value treats when clicker training dogs if that helps. When training you don't want anything that requires chewing or that will fill them up. So for a cat I'd say the size of a treat should be half the size of a temptation if not smaller.
-
I would go for the thrive too. For some reason Beavis doesnt like the prawn but he goes mad for the chicken and the fish varieties!
-
A pen would be fine, you just need something that makes the same sound each time ;D
