Video: Carly the Cat Maneuvers the Agility Course

Meet some adoptable pets, thanks to members of the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria

In this week's Pet of the Week, Carrie Drummond  introduces us to Carly, an 11-year-old cat. She came to the animal shelter because her owners we moving to an apartment that wouldn't allow pets.

Teresa Villatoro, the shelter's behavior and training coordinator  is "clicker training" Carly and rewarding her as she jumps through the agility course. What exactly is clicker training? Check out the video.

Special thanks to Suzanne and Carrie for shooting the video and introducing us to the animals.
