Did you know that rats are very intelligent animals who like to play and show their own personalities? They are considered to be just as intelligent as dogs and cats and, with patience and the right training, can make fantastic pets. Many American households already have pet rats.

The Complete Guide to Rat Training by Debbie Duconnum focuses entirely on how to train a rat. Debbie Duconnum has over 18 years of experience working with animals in the animal care industry. She is known as the “Rat Lady” and passes on her vast knowledge about these animals to her readers.

The training is done in easy to understand step-by-step instructions and offers information on positive reinforcement, litter training, basic and advanced trick training, clicker training, behaviour modification, games and science projects, prop tricks and others.

The author teaches you to understand rat behaviour and body language and get to know your pet. Also provided within the book are instructions on how to build training equipment such as mazes and intelligence tests to challenge your rat.

The book benefits from color photographs and illustrations. It provides lots of useful information on rats, backed with scientific research, which makes for an informative and fun read.
