"Emily is super knowledgeable and provided all the information one needs to be successful in harness training their cats. The best benefit to me of training was how much closer my cat and I became. Emily helps you understand the training in a process in a way I didn’t get before – so it becomes more intuitive. And spending the time working with my cat definitely enhanced our bond. I couldn’t recommend the course more enthusiastically!”

FAQs
Is my cat too old to start training?
Absolutely not! It’s never too old to start training with your cat. I’ve seen cats of all ages, including seniors, go from being homebodies to trailblazers with consistent and positive training methods.
What is the youngest age I can start training my cat?
You can really start at any age, but you’ll see better results if your cat is already 4-5 months old. Younger kittens are much less likely to be able to stay focused for training sessions.
For kittens younger than 4 months, I’d recommend focusing on getting your cat used to being handled and working on socialization more than I would harness training. You also don’t want to take them outdoors until they’ve completed their vaccinations.
When does the course start?
As soon as you enroll! This course is completely self-paced, so you can start it whenever you’d like and have as long as you need to complete it.
How long will the course take to complete?
There is about an hour’s worth of written, video, and audio content, so if you just read/watched straight through the course, you’d get through everything in about an hour.
However, if you’re actually working through the steps with your cat, the amount of time it takes for you and your cat to finish all the training steps together will vary. Some cats may fly through the training, while others need more time. It could take days, weeks, or even months.
It also depends greatly on how consistent you’re able to be with your training. The more consistenly you’re able to work with your cat, the faster and better results you’ll see.
With consistent training, you should see forward progress with your cat in just a couple weeks.
How is the course content presented?
The course is organized into bite-sized lessons, comprised of written, audio, and video content – something to suit every style of learning!
What if I need additional help with my cat's training?
Course students have direct access to me via email, and there is also a section in the course where students can ask questions and get additional support and guidance when needed. You can even submit videos of your cat and their training for more personalized help and feedback. Don’t worry – I would never leave you high and dry!
How much time do I need to dedicate to training every day?
For the best results, I recommend 5-10 minutes of training a day. However, there is no requirement. You are welcome to work through the course whenever and however you’re able.
Just understand that the less time you’re able to commit, the slower your cat’s progress will be.
What if I don't like the course?
This course comes with a 14-day guarantee. If you are unhappy with the course for some reason, just reach out to me within 14 days of enrollment.
