House Train Pet Pig
December 17th 2009 15:38
If you have a pet pig, you're already fighting the stereotype that they're nasty, dirty animals, you don't want to have one pooping and peeing in the house. If you're going to have a pet pot belly pig in the house, you're going to want to house train it.
When house training a pet pig, you want to create a schedule. In a way, it'll be like house training a dog. Feed and walk the pig on a regular basis. You'll want to take the pet pig out every 2 hours; while you're outside you can give the pet a 'potty word' like 'Go Potty.' This will help teach the pig what you want him to do. It's best to use the term just before and while the pig is going to the bathroom.
It's best to walk the pig on the leash until he gets the hang of what he's supposed to do while outside.
Use treat rewards when the pig goes to the bathroom outside. Use positive reinforcements. Be firm. Be consistent. Be patient.
If you've ever potty trained a dog, you can potty train a pet pig. Pigs are very intelligent animals.
