Weave Walking is Tons of Fun!

One of my all time favourite tricks is where I get to run around with my human. I love to be under the human's feet as much as possible when I see her walking around. When she has food, I discovered that chasing her around and trying to climb up her leg is by far the best way to get it!
Usually the human doesn't appreciate "tripping" on me all the time (although secretly I know she likes when I follow her around.) Personally, I find it funny to watch her shuffle across the room to avoid stepping on me. I like to sneak up behind her sometimes too. I can make her stop really really fast when I run in front and cut her off! It's one of my favourite past times, and a fun one when you're getting bored of your human!
One of the best tricks the human has ever come up with is where I get to cut her off and be rewarded for it! Well, to be honest, that's not exactly the point of the trick, but I make sure to sneak it in here and there. ;)
Weave walking is where the guinea pig (that's me!) has to go between the human's feet every time they take a step. I usually weave walk all across the room and back, which is about 4-5 steps each way.
Isn't it a cool trick?
When I first started training the human to do this trick, she didn't quite get it. She was supposed to give me the treat just for begging nicely and being cute! But since she didn't understand, I went along with her plan and we just learned this weave walking thing together.
One thing I did train her to do though, was walk faster! Humans are so slow and clumsy. I don't think she knew how fast I could weave, so I decided to just take matters into my own paws and speed things up myself to show her how it's done. ;)
It ended up being a lot of fun overall, although I still think it would be better to run in front of the human's feet instead of through. But even after all my efforts to get my thoughts on the matter across to her, she's still adamant that I'm not supposed to cut in front. Oh well, I guess I'll have to settle for catching her off guard once in a while when she's not expecting it.
If you want to teach your human to weave walk just like I did, all you have to do is follow what I did in the video below or find tips on the weave walk trick tutorial page.
Keep in mind that this trick isn't always as easy as it looks though. The human says I'm a bit of an odd ball (a cute fuzzy odd ball she says!) so not all piggies would be as eager to be near a human's moving feet as me. I mean, I understand how they feel; humans look awfully huge from down here! If the human is patient and takes slow steps for awhile, I think that would make most guinea pigs more comfortable and maybe they would enjoy this trick too!
As fun as it was, all that running made me hungry (okay, well, I'm always hungry.)

But anyway, maybe all you piggies out there can have some fun weave walking with your humans too.

P.S. If they play dumb like my human sometimes does, just remember this one thing; it can take awhile for humans to learn new tricks, so be patient with them! All humans will eventually catch on with consistent training.
Thanks for reading my latest adventure!
