Leash training, like any other training, a cat will require the
proper tools, research, patience and good reinforcement. Cats
are intelligent and sensitive which you will never want to use
force or physical threats on a cat. Any of the force behaviors
that you use on the cat will only result in a cat fearing you.
You will be the one that will have to change the behavior in
positive reinforcement. Good words used, the cat's name, and the
behavior the cat is doing. Treats are another way of showing
your cat a positive reinforcement for good behavior. Use small

dinner.

time. Two weeks should be set a side to do the training. Do not

stressful. If the cat gets sick or an illness, this it self will
be stressful on a cat and you will have to stop the training. At
