Hiring a cat trainer can be a great way to help your cat adjust to their new home, learn good behaviors and manners, and even enjoy themselves in the process! Cat trainers are uniquely trained to understand cat behavior and provide guidance as your cat settles into their new space. With the help of specialized cat training exercises, cat trainers can teach your cat basic obedience commands such as coming when called, proper introductions to people, animals or other cats, how to walk on a leash, and how to stay off countertops! Additionally, having an experienced cat behaviorist or certified cat trainer available for regular check-ins can protect against behavioral issues from developing - ultimately creating a lasting bond between you and your feline friend.
