To begin clicker training, the click must come almost simultaneously with the treat to build the association between click and treat. Take a day or two to sit with your ferret and click the clicker and offer a tiny treat. Click and give the ferret a treat, repeat this many times, giving breaks (never train for more than 2 minutes at a time) until your ferret eagerly expects a treat when she hears the click. After a few clicks and treats, wait for the ferret to do something, take a step, move a paw, any movement, and then click and treat. The click must occur at the exact moment the ferret performs the movement. You will soon find that your ferret begins to try to repeat behaviors that earned a click and a treat, and the game is on!

Can cats be trained using a dog trainer clicker?

they might be able to, but you would have to teach them that that particular sound is good, not bad. so when you train your cat with a clicker, charge it up. after you clicked the clicker once, treat your cat, until he/she knows that it is good, not bad. so then, when your cat does a behavior that you like, click the clicker and your cat will know that they did something good.

Are ferrets Hyper?

It depends on how old the ferret is...Young Ferret: Young ferrets are more hyper than older ferrets. Young ferrets sleep a lot, but when let out of the cage, they jump around and like to get into things. Despite being so hyper, ferrets are best trained to stay calm when they're young. Encouraging ferrets to be held at a young age usually makes older ferrets more content with being held.Old Ferret: Older ferrets can still be hyper, but if at taught at a young age, can happily cuddle and even sleep in your arms.

Does feeding ferrets raw meat cause them to bite?

Raw meat is a ferrets natural diet - they are strict carnivores Feeding ferrets a natural diet does not cause them to bite. I have 3 ferrets all of which are fed a raw diet. There is no connection between feeding a diet that is natural to a ferret and aggression towards humans. I can tell you this from my own personal experience and the experience of others both in present times and historically. Feeding ferrets raw meat will not cause them to bite. Ferrets are strict carnivores - meat eaters - they have to eat meat in able to survive and before they were domesticated, raw meat was the diet. Ferrets naturally bite as young kits and need to be trained not to bite. Abused ferrets are "fear biters"
