00:00Pigs and training.

00:13How smart are pigs?

00:15Pigs are extremely intelligent.

00:16They have been compared to the emotional level of a two to three year old child, so they

00:21can easily get bored.

00:24Are pigs destructive if they're not challenged and stimulated?

00:27Pigs can be destructive if they're not challenged and stimulated.

00:30That means that an inside pig is more likely to destroy furniture, tear out carpet, rip

00:34up wallpaper, and look for food in your refrigerator and cabinets when you're away.

00:41Can pigs learn tricks like a dog?

00:43Pigs can learn to do tricks just like a dog, but dogs are motivated by attention and positive

00:48reinforcement.

00:49Pigs are more food motivated.

00:51They can learn most any trick, it's a matter of having enough treats.

00:55I like to use animal crackers or whole grain cereals for training treats because they are

01:01lower in sugar and not high in fat.

01:06Can pigs walk on a leash?

01:08Pigs can be trained to walk on a leash, but some pigs take to walking on a leash better

01:12than others.

01:13Some may need a coaxing cookie to relax.

01:16You can't force a pig to do something it doesn't want to do.

01:18They have to think it's their idea and it's done on their terms.

01:21Imagine trying to convince a two or three year old child to do something.

01:25They'll do it when they're ready.

01:29Pigs can do sits and stays, but the time they will sit and stay depends on how many cookies

01:35you have.

01:39Will a pig use a litter box?

01:40A pig can use a litter box with some training.

01:43I know many pigs that do.

01:45Pigs are very clean animals and they do not like to soil the place that they like to sleep,

01:49so a litter box is a good option.

01:53Can you give a pig kisses?

01:55If you want to, you can go snout to snout with your pig for sure.

01:58I give kisses to my pigs.

02:02Will a pig roll over like a dog?

02:04When they're happy, they will plop down on their side and roll over for a belly rub.

02:11How can I exercise my pig?

02:13The best way to exercise your pig is to use its natural habit to graze and explore and

02:18search for food.

02:19For example, I throw a couple handfuls of air-pop popcorn on the lawn and they go wild

02:25searching for the little kibbles and nibbles.

02:28It gets their body moving.
