Guinea pigs are surprisingly trainable and food-motivated. They can learn to come when called, follow a target, stand up, spin in a circle, and even navigate obstacle courses. Training is also a fantastic way to bond with your pig and provide the mental stimulation they crave.

Kern Trainingsprinzipien
Repetition and Consistency
Short daily sessions work better than long occasional ones. Guinea pigs learn through repeated positive associations.
Floor Level Training
Train on the floor in a safe space. Guinea pigs feel vulnerable when elevated and won't learn if they are stressed.
Voice Association
Use the same word or sound consistently. Guinea pigs learn to associate specific sounds with specific outcomes.

🎓Wichtige Trainingstipps & Kommandos
Name Recognition
Say their name every time you feed them. Within weeks, they will wheek excitedly when they hear their name.
Come When Called
Shake a treat bag while calling their name. Start close and gradually increase distance. They will come running!
Target-Training
Hold a target stick (or spoon) and reward when they touch it with their nose. Use this to guide them through tricks.
Spin/Circle
Use a treat to lure them in a circle. Add a verbal cue once they follow the treat reliably. One of the easiest tricks.
