How to Use Wild Eats Simply Puree Treats for Training Cats

Quick answer

Wild Eats Simply Puree is an easy-to-lick treat that works well for positive reinforcement cat training, especially for cats who ignore crunchy rewards or need a quick, low-calorie motivator.

Step-by-step training with puree treats

1. Prepare the treat: Squeeze a pea-sized amount of Wild Eats Simply Puree onto a clean spoon, your fingertip (if your cat is gentle), or a silicone licking mat. Avoid squeezing directly from the pouch into the cat's mouth to prevent mess or overfeeding. Keep the puree refrigerated after opening; cold puree can reduce interest, so let it sit at room temperature for 2 minutes before a session.
2. Choose a quiet training spot: Work in a low-distraction room where your cat already feels safe. Have the puree and a clicker (if using clicker training) ready. Do not free-feed the pouch — portion control is key to avoid digestive upset. If your cat is anxious, start with the puree alone for a few days before adding any cue or command.
3. Use the puree as a marker reward: When your cat performs the desired behavior (e.g., sitting, touching a target), immediately present the puree for a quick lick. For clicker training, click first, then present the treat within 1 second. Do not delay — cats associate the reward with the action only if it arrives instantly. If your cat ignores the puree, it may be too full or the flavor may not appeal. Try a different protein variety from the Variety Pack.
4. Gradually reduce treat frequency: Once your cat reliably performs the behavior, start rewarding every second or third correct response instead of every time. This builds persistence without relying on constant food rewards. Never skip the puree entirely during early stages — cats lose motivation quickly without a tangible reward. If your cat stops responding, go back to rewarding every attempt for a few sessions before fading again.
