there are ways to make them do what your after without being mean
the main trick to training anything is finding the reward that can always be used as a treat.
example. NOT JOKING about died laughing when I saw this, an all was explained from buddies wife, its what she does, animal training. their one cat dyson his reward, is playing with a clean maxi pad The crackling sounds is like crack to him, she has even done what I didn't could be done she trained them to like water, one of their cats trys to join you in shower if don't shut the door to play in the water going down the drain.
sit, up, beg all could be dont by holding the food or food bowl above their heads and you give them there food exactly when they do the action your after. you may have to wait for the reaction that you want to happen.
lay down just the opposite place the food on the ground and prevent them from going to it unless they calm down and relax and do nothing. got to remember to have goal stepping stones and reward for them.
My buddies wife trained their cats left paw and right paw shake that shit is crazy because most animals will get the paw shake down fast the right and left have to be enunciated very clearly.
