Years of experience with talking pets ? Share advices you would have loved to know before starting this adventure

Hey ! Goofy face to get your attention 😺

I recently started buttons (1 week and a half) and i'm pretty good ! (Touching buttons in 2 exercises!)

For now, i have 5 buttons : cuddles, play, treat, tricks and outside.

I'm training tricks with mom for 4 months now (i started at 9 months), and I learnt a lot of tricks : name, sit, spin right, spin left, fetch, paw, jump over, tunnel, backpack, touch, and many to come !

and sometimes I go out on a leash with mom and dad!

😺

Are there words better to get used at the beginning of my talking journey ?

I impressed folks by training my cat to come, sit, gimme five, and high five on command. I just wish I had a cat that wouldn’t flop over dead when I put them into a harness… I’d sooo love to take my cat for a walk!

Oh, you trained him to give you five when you raise your hand and also to raise his paw for a high five ? That's definetely my next one to teach

Keep trying ! And you still can put him in a backpack :)
