How it works

  1. 1

    Pick a skill

    Start with Foundations or jump to a trick. Tumble shows what to teach first.

  2. 2

    Train a step

    Tap the big button to click, count clean reps and stop while it's still fun.

  3. 3

    Move on when it's solid

    Each step tells you when to move on, and what to change if it stalls.

How to teach your cat to high five

Your cat taps your raised palm with a front paw, a friendly first trick most cats learn in a week.

Lesson · 3 min

How to teach your cat to sit

Teach a cued sit by capturing or luring, so your cat can ask politely instead of pawing, jumping or meowing.

Questions

Can you really train a cat?

Yes. Cats learn with clicker training the same way dogs do: a click marks the exact moment, a treat follows. Sessions are short, a few minutes before a meal.

Do I need a physical clicker?

No. Tumble has a clicker built in, including a soft click for cats who dislike the loud one. You can also use a marker word like "yes".

How long does a trick take?

Most starter tricks take 4 to 10 short sessions. Each lesson shows an estimate and tells you when a step is solid.

Fill today's basket.

Every lesson, game, walk and meal you log drops a toy in the basket. Six toys and the day is done.
