5 Easy Tricks to Teach Your Guinea Pig FIRST
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
I get a lot of questions about which tricks are easiest to teach your guinea pig or which ones are best to start out with, so this video includes the 5 tricks I usually recommend, along with tutorials for each trick. Most guinea pigs learn these tricks pretty quickly, making them very beginner friendly.
3 of these tricks were tricks I introduced to TJ the first day I brought him home (paws up, stand up, and circle.) He also learned to go through a hoop and follow a target stick shortly after too. These 5 tricks are great because they're super adorable, but not incredibly difficult or time consuming to teach. They're perfect to help you bond with your guinea pig and get your training off on the right paw!
Tricks in the video:
1. Paws Up
2. Stand Up
3. Circle
4. Follow a Target Stick
5. Go Through a Hoop

My old piggie Ruby died a few months ago. One time I was scooping the poop in her cage, and she was following the poop scoop so I lifted it up in the air and she stood up! I kept practicing with her and sometimes she fell over on her back 😂 but every time before I gave her veggies, I had her stand up. Then after a few months of training, whenever she heard the fridge open and footsteps coming near, she would stand up on her own! She was such an awesome piggie. RIP Ruby ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

TJ can be like that too sometimes haha. :P It might help to give him a small treat halfway around the circle to keep him focused. :)

Yes! They also each have unique personalities! My friend has a crested guinea pig and she is so smart. She is potty trained. She also will listen too. He just got another one and she is so jealous of the baby but doesn't hurt her thank goodness. She is so used to literally spending so much time with him out of the cage. It's like he became another piggy to her lol.
I loved how the little guienapig waited with her paws on your knees

The stand up one is the easiest for piggies to learn. Over half of my past pigs would stand up without me even teaching them! My boy nugget stands when he’s by himself lol he loves doing it. Thank you for this video!
My guinea pig did the paws up, he also did the stand up one! Now everytime I put my hand down he will come over and stand on my hand waiting for his treat :3

That's amazing! ❤️ Teaching tricks is such a great source of enrichment for them too.
It was really helpful my guinea pig did really well in the hoop and paw one
Me: ok milky hand Milky: (takes treat and runs)
I'm going to show my future Guinea pigs this tricks. They are soo intelligent... And cute too
I can't even express how much I love guinea pigs! They are literally the cutest and most lovable pets someone can have. Their little legs and round bodies are the cutest! The way they waddle! I wish they could live forever. 😢😢😢❤❤❤
Also that is such a smart piggie. One of mine can do all of these and one can do half of em(she is only 4 months so its not weird she has 0 patience lol) the third one literally doesn’t get anything xD The spin I’ve tried for a year and she still just falls over cause she’s too lazy to walk all around. She is a little diva too she loves to complain about everything 😂

The first time teaching him the circle :) he learnt so quickly!
I tried doing the first one and it really worked!! Now my guinea pig does it without the treats but I do give him one after because I don’t want to disappoint him. I love Tj he’s so cute and I love his fur colour my guinea pigs black with brown and white bits on him. Thank you for your help and please can you do a video of how to keep your guinea pig happy because I want to gain his trust and know how guinea pigs can be happy because I might be getting one for my best friend and she has never had on before. Thank you for reading all of this ( you don’t need to do the one I said you can do it if it’s possible but if you already have then ignore that part )

Omg thx so much for this video my brat adorable guinea pig ACTUALLY learned how to stand I love ur videos❤️❤️❤️
Of course they will follow the follow the target because it is the moving thing in there interested in it
I've taught my 3 piggies to do paws up and even put their front paws on my pinky finger, i think any tricks involving skin to fur contact are also really great for helping timid guinea pigs realise you're not a threat! my newest rescue guinea pigs used to be very shy around me but now they jump up on my lap, alas not for strokes because they're super fidgets, but just because they're confident and want to investigate me 😂
So cute ❤️ I will definitely be trying this lol 😂 but I need to get my baby's tame more they will eat out of my hand but really don't like to be picked up and the only way they let me pet them is when they are out of there cage
Aww your male guinea pig is so cute X3

My guinea pig is pretty tame so all I have to do now is teach her some tricks! Honestly I think I’m a pretty responsible GP owner. I’ve had her for a year now! ( her birthday is today April 13) I’m teaching her the first one in the list. She kinda gets it but I still have to lure her ;-;
Now I want to train my guinea pigs!!! Thanks for this video
Love it I’m doing the spinning one wish me luck
Thanks so much
This will help me so much thx
I will try these tricks
That is adorable 🥰
your work is so awesome. Thank you. (A new Gpig owner)
I'm working with my guinea pig. And I did the paws up for a bit. Then I switched to the stand up one and he was doing paws up on my knees lol. I guess I should space the new truck out more😂

One of my Guinea pigs did really well probably because he really likes to eat but the other one would just stand still and only his head would try and reach out to get the lettuce. After he couldn’t get it he just gave up.
This is so amazing! I’ve taught four of my pigs to spin but I’m definitely gonna try to teach them more tricks. This video is so easy to understand

Hey guys! I have taught one of my Guinea pig’s the first trick, which I named press the button! I am about to try to teach it spin! Ty for making this vid!
When they stand up we’ve been teaching that to our guinea pig we call it kangaroo
Cute guinea pig
Me: cookie come here! (Boy) Guinea pig: -no words- *eats* Brother guinea pig: -??? -eats
Our little Lilo, the bravest one - loose their balance during the stand up trick very often, its so funny and clumsy ^^
Idk Why but my guinea pigs understand before I even teach them that this guy aint giving us our treat if we are not trying, so they just sit there 😅😅
Nice 😊❤
Tried but my guinea pig said “I ain’t doin any tricks for food”

Thanks! :D I have a video for teaching them to come when called, but not responding to their name yet. However, teaching their name is usually pretty easy. Say their name in a happy tone of voice and feed them a treat each time. :) It takes a lot of repetition, but over time they'll start to respond to it more and more.
