The Abyssinian Cat

The Abyssinian Cat is a domesticated cat breed that originated from the infamous Egyptian female kitten called Zula. Zula was taken by a British soldier from a port in Alexandria, Egypt, and brought to

England. Zula then was bred with an English tabby and the Abbies were born. This breed of cat has turned out to be one of the most popular shorthair breed cats in the

United States
. There is a possiblity that there are even wild Abbies out there in

Africa!

Abyssinians have a very unique looking coat. It’s ticked, and tawny. Tails and the paws show tabby markings, however the body must be free of these markings to qualify as an Abby breed.

The Abyssinian should have large almond-shaped green or gold eyes that show a fine dark line around them. Her ears are usually very large in appearance. The coat shows a warm golden color most of the time, but they can also be fawn or blue or cinnamon and red, even silver, gray and cream.

Abyssinians are known to be friendly and playful. Their high energy level makes them almost appear like a dog.

Clicker Training

I am sure you have heard of clicker training before. I often wondered what it is all about and did some research I would like to share with you.

Back in the 60ies clickers were children’s toys that where made mostly of metal. These pieces a tongue that made a clicking noise when pressed. I only remember them too well. Some were sold in animal shapes and real cute looking. Today, clickers are mostly made for use in animal training. It’s used to trigger exactly what behavior the animal is being rewarded for. The click communicates to the dog that that specific behavior was expected and that a reward has been earned!

Combining the click and the reward the dog learns that the click means something positive Most dogs understand the idea after 10 to 20 tries. Since the clicks are associated with being rewarded, the rewarded behavior will increase. Keep in mind that the click signals the end of the behavior that indicates that the reward is coming. For example, if you click for stays, the number of stays will rise, but every time you click to stay, that stay is over and the dog may to receive his reward.

If the dog is capable of doing it, you can train the behavior with a clicker. Clicker training generally do not include positive punishment. However, it uses a reinforcement trigger that decreases a dog’s unwanted behavior such as a jerk on leash.

The reason why clickers are so unique and work better than our voice is that dogs hear our voices all the time, and thus often ignore them, as you probably have found out the hard way already The clicker is asound that has no other meaning to the dog. And people can usually click faster than they can verbally praise the dog.

Clicker training is great for one on one obedience training but it doesn’t work well with groups and just causes confusion amongst the dogs and handlers.
