As any animal trainer will tell you, the magic is in your attitude and sensitivity to your kitty’s needs and subtle reactions to new things. With that in mind, Brooks encourages cat owners to embrace Zen meditation as the foundation for leash training. Benefiting both you and your furry friend, practicing mediation
I really appreciated this book; I'm currently trying to train my cat to walk outside, and this book seemed to be the only source I could find that actually went into detail how to introduce your cat to the outdoors, especially if they're a bit nervous. Also a lovely message on finding your peace and being zen during the training process, for the both of you.
I was skeptical when reading the first couple of sections, but it had a lot of good information! My cat has been pawing at the window often lately, and I had been considering getting her ready for walks. This book has a lot of good points to consider when training a cat to walk on a leash, and I'll keep it handy when taking the steps for my fur baby.
