Shandong Lion Cat

　　Before the training begins, it is necessary to familiarize the with the commands "carry" and "release." During training, hold the leash with one hand, pulling the cat to the object to be carried. With the other hand, pick up the object or toy and place it in the cat's mouth to make the cat bite; then lead the cat to another place, open its mouth while giving the "release" command, and take out the object. After rewarding, repeat this action until the cat can perform the "carry" and "release" commands on its own.

    Next, remove the leash, place the object in front of the cat to attract its attention, then issue the "carry" and "release" commands to have the cat complete the actions. Afterwards, throw the object to a slightly farther visible spot, give the "carry" command to have the cat bring the object back, then give the "release" command to make the cat put down the object. This requires time and repetition. (Source: PConline Photography Tribe)
