Training Your Guinea Pig to Do Tricks

Guinea pigs can easily master a number of tricks once you understand the technique. It’s all about food. You use a treat such as grass or a carrot to lure your guinea pig to do the desired behavior. You say a command and reward with the food. After many repetitions, your pet will perform the command even without the food reward. However, praise your pet and occasionally reward them to reinforce the behavior. One simple trick is to come when called. While your pet is on a flat surface, hold a treat in front of them at a short distance. Wiggle the treat as you say, “Come here”. When they come, give them the treat. Increase the distance and repeat. In begging, hold the treat over your pet’s head and raise it higher with repetitions until your pet is on their hind legs. Remember to keep it fun.
