How to Teach a Guinea Pig to Follow You Around

6/11/2017

0 Comments

 
Following a person around is probably the cutest guinea pig trick out there. Guinea pigs that follow you around are just undeniably adorable. This trick really has a way of making them feel more like a little 2lb puppy dog than a guinea pig.

This trick is fairly straightforward and easy to teach, as long as you take the time to bond with your guinea pig and get them comfortable with you standing and walking around near them.
The video above outlines all of the steps to teaching your guinea pig to follow you around like a dog, or you can find more tips and the full tutorial on the follow me trick tutorial page.

This trick can be a lot of fun to teach to a guinea pig, but it's important to make sure your guinea pig is totally tame and comfortable around you before trying to teach them to follow you. Trust is an important factor for this trick, because people can look quite big and intimidating from a guinea pig's perspective. Make sure you go slow, and understand that guinea pigs may be nervous to be around your feet at first, especially when you start walking around beside them.

Overall, this trick is really great for guinea pigs, and tops all other tricks for its cuteness factor and puppy dog personality. It's definitely near the top of my list of favorite tricks. I especially love how it really shows off the bond that has developed between your piggy and you.

Thanks for reading!
