The Amazing Cat Training Expert: The Cat Coach based in the SF Bay Area

There are many resources available for dog owners who are dealing with behavioral problems, but for cat owners it can be a bit more of a challenge to find a behavioral specialist who knows the correct techniques to deal with specific problems in cats. Cats have very unique ways of handling separation anxiety, abandonment issues, and territorial matters, so if you are struggling to understand your cat's behavior, you really want to make sure that you find someone who can get inside the mind of your cat and find out what's going on.

For many years, Marilyn Krieger has been helping cat owners train their pets, educate themselves, and develop a set of humane methods for dealing with any behavioral challenges that may pop up. If you have adopted a cat, it may have a whole set of behavioral issues you're not even aware of, but that doesn't mean a cat you raise from a kitten can't have problems as well. Spraying or urinating on the furniture, destroying property, and constant meowing are all signs that your cat may be having emotional problems that could benefit from the help of a professional.

Marilyn is a strong proponent of clicker training, and her success with this method has been recognized across the country. Luckily, San Francisco Bay Area residences can learn more about her training methods in person – as she frequently participates in local speaking engagements . Marilyn is the resident cat behaviorist and monthly column writer for Cat Fancy Magazine. She also appears frequently on television and radio programs, and writes for TheCatChannel.com , the Cat Fancy website that highlight animal behavior issues. Her own blog deals with topics of interest to all cat owners and reading through her articles can help you decide whether her techniques may be right for your situation!
