Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female
I am training my cat how to sit on command but she only listens when I have a treat. How can I train her to sit on command without a treat?

If you are using the luring technique, try incorporating the vocal command as well. Eventually when she correlates the vocal command with the luring itself resulting in the yummy treat, you can start phasing out the luring and the treat giving every other time or every few times and only giving treat immediately after the action has been performed.
