How to Teach a Guinea Pig to Touch & Follow a Target Stick

9/29/2015

4 Comments

 
The video above is a tutorial for teaching your guinea pig to follow a nose target. The written step by step tutorial can be found on the Nose Target page on this site. Following a target is an easy trick to teach, and most guinea pigs pick up on it quickly. Hopefully this video tutorial will be helpful to those of you starting out with training your piggy!

This is too cute! I am going to be trying this with Celery later. I already started trying to teach her this trick https://smallpetselect.com/guinea-pig-guide/guinea-pig-tricks but her attention span was a little off hahaha I'm determined to go back at it again with this one.

Cool! Let me know how it works out for you. :) Guinea pigs definitely aren't the most patient at first haha. They do get much better the more you work with them though! :)
