Animal Training

One my greater interests is animals and their ability to do the amazing. This blog is to help other people teach their animals to do what ever their owners ask.

Kids and understanding them has been a passion of mine for about 20 years, it wasn't til I had a child of my own (Skye), that I was able to get to know so much more than I had previously known. I live solely for one purpose, and that is to be with my amazingly wonderful wife Tracy. And my daughter Skye and the newest member of my family Willow our beautiful daughter. It has been quite some time since I have updated this blog. I have had another new addition my family a few years ago now. A little boy called Declan as I call him The Little bugger.

Train A Pig Part 2

For basics in training read the first part of Pig Training, Train A Pig Part 1


Learning to Kiss:-

Your pig must be quite gentle before she is ready to give you a big wet one. Snapping at a treat is a sure sign of not being ready. One way to make your pig more gentle is to give a treat in very small pieces, this will encourage her to open her mouth less. Now she is ready to give you a kiss. Place a small reward (food) between your lips, and offer this to the pig, when the pig takes the reward (making sure that your lips touches the pigs lips), say "good piggy, kiss". Repeat this process time and time again, making the rewards smaller until there is no reward left.
