Getting used to a leash in the house

Once your cat is used to the collar, begin to acclimate him to the leash in your home environment. Allow your cat to explore the house while wearing the leash, gradually increasing the amount of time he spends with it.

Transition to outdoor walks

Once your cat feels confident with a leash in the house, start taking him outside.

Start with short walks in quiet, safe places with little noise and movement. Allow your cat to explore the environment, but be vigilant and supervise.

Gradually increase the walking time

Gradually increase the time spent outside, giving your cat more opportunities to explore the environment. Pay attention to his reactions and make sure he feels comfortable.

Training your cat to walk on a leash is a process that requires consistency and patience. Continually reward positive behavior and continue training to reinforce the skills he has learned.

By following this step-by-step guide and being patient, you can leash train your cat and enjoy safe and enjoyable outdoor walks.
