Platform (or pedestal) training is an important foundation behavior for many types of trained animals, from lions to dogs, and everything in between. Going to a platform is typically an easy trick to teach, and can help when training other types of tricks (for example, wave.) This trick is especially great for younger piggies or those new to training because it is easy to teach and encourages the guinea pig to look for cues instead of relying too much on a food lure.
A platform for guinea pigs can be any fairly low object that is sturdy, safe, and has enough space for the guinea pig to get on and turn around comfortably.
