Training of dogs is different from training of cats as both have different motivation. While dogs are often easily motivated by the positive gestures or gentle pats, cats are more reward oriented. They do their thing only when they know there is something they will be getting in return. Food is the most common reward in pets training. There are other things as well which differentiate cats from dogs such as cats have a very short attention span as compared to dogs. That is why, their drills must be shorter and repetitive. Also, dogs usually love to work in groups but it is opposite in case of cats who are solitary workers. Cats are more independent than the dogs too.
