How can I train a guinea pig?
Training a guinea pig takes patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. First spend time interacting (talk, hand-feed, gentle petting) to build trust. Guinea pigs aren't very smart, so keep to simple tasks like stepping up or following. Use food to draw attention, guide with hands along a route, use short clear cues ('come', 'go'), and repeat several times daily.
