In this episode we talk about clicker training, how it works, how to do it and why you should add it to your cats life.

Dr. Marci Koski is a certified feline behavior and training consultant in Vancouver, Washington, who works with cat guardians all over the world to help cats live their best lives. Her goal is to keep cats in homes and out of shelters by helping cat guardians find solutions to behavior challenges. She earned specialized and advanced certificates in Feline Training and Behavior from the Animal Behavior Institute, and established her business, Feline Behavior Solutions, in 2014. She also has a doctorate (Ph.D.) in Fishery and Wildlife Biology from Colorado State University and had a career as a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for over ten years, where she worked toward the conservation and recovery of threatened and endangered species. Marcihas also volunteered with Furry Friends (a cats-only rescue) since 2014 and joined the Board of Directors in 2016; she donates her time to help new adopters with any behavior concerns they have about their cats. In her spare time, Marci enjoys reading, creating fiber art, spending time with her very supportive husband (Chris), and spoiling her 17-year-old cat, Momo.

Hanna Fushihara is the founder of Nosework for cats!

Nosework Cats is an enrichment and training activity in which your cat is seeking, sniffing, and hunting for their treats or food. It's a game that has been tweaked specifically for cats from the model of nosework for dogs. Cats have their own species specific traits in behavior, biology, and how they live with us. We’ll account for all of that cat-ness. It’s a bonding experience for you and your cat. You’ll learn so much about how they experience the world and process information. Hanna started this in 2020.
