station training with cats

Does your cat beg or swat at you while you are fixing his/her food? Station training, teaching your cat to relax on a designated spot, keeps your cat (and your appendages!) safely out of the way while you prepare your cat’s meal. Station training is also a wonderful way to engage with your kitty and strengthen your bond.

In this video, KPA CTP Erin Britton reinforces her cat for remaining on a platform while she prepares her training treats. Note that when Erin’s cat steps off the platform to swat at her, Erin waits for her to step back onto the platform and offers her a treat. Erin’s cat is learning that remaining on her designated spot instead of swatting will earn her tasty treats!

stationing for veterinary procedures

Let’s face it, most diagnostic or therapeutic procedures are not pleasant for dogs. However, by practicing at home for what the dog will need to do during a procedure, such as holding a stationary position, pet owners can help to ensure that procedures go more smoothly.

In this video, Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) Associate Director Gretchen Carey is preparing her dog Daisy to be cooperative and comfortable for her acupuncture treatments. In order to receive treatment, Daisy needs to be able to stay in a sphinx position for 15 minutes after needles are administered. Using a clicker and treats, Gretchen begins by shaping Daisy to stay in the sphinx position and not roll onto her side (as she has been trained to do for nail trims). Since Daisy has limited mobility, Gretchen opts to reward Daisy for remaining in position for the entire time rather than resetting the behavior and gradually increasing duration. Once Daisy is holding the position reliably, Gretchen introduces a frozen stuffed Kong to make the session more enjoyable and less stressful. As you will see at the conclusion of the video, Daisy’s positive experience with each step of this process made the acupuncture session a success!
