Cat Pawsitive behavioral training

Join cat expert and Director of The Jackson Galaxy Project for Greater Good Charities, Christie Rogero, as she reviews innovative behavioral techniques that can change lives. 

Believe it or not, cats can be trained, and by teaching shelter cats our Cat Pawsitive techniques (including the signature “High-Five”), we can decrease stress, increase engagement, and raise adoption rates. Anyone can teach a cat to do a high-five and many other behaviors—all it takes is a desirable “reinforcer” (your kitty’s favorite treat) and some patience. Learn how to change the lives of shelter cats and improve shelter staff morale by watching this webinar!
