How To Train Your Cat To Walk On A Leash

Why is leash training important? The outside world is not always safe for cats. Leash training your cat may be vital for his safety so he can enjoy the great outdoors without you constantly worrying if he was run over by a car or mauled by a wild animal.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to how to properly train a cat to walk on leash. All cats can be trained to be on leash, some just need more time than others. The training process will be slow because you will need to give your cat a lot of time to get used to the leash so it is very important for you to be patient.

Also remember that your cat does not learn in the same way a dog learns. Don’t expect him to walk next to you like a dog would. Cats will constantly stop and smell things. He might get startled at loud sounds, try to run or freeze when he feels afraid. Stay close to your house, give him lots of treats and keep your walks short.
