Were you able to find help?

We had major issues with our pet pig starting when he was close to Milo's age (about 3 1/2) I didn't know better how to handle it, I used old school methods of being the top pig. It only got worse and when he was almost five he was biting to draw blood, attacking everyone. Fortunately I was able to find the Animal Behavior Center and I bought the webinars on pig behavior. It has been about a year working with the positive re-enforcement method that Lara shows and he is a changed pig. I still get aggression in certain places, like around his bed, but even then I can tell he is half heartedly being aggressive so I know I need to work more in those places. Today he was a perfectly behaved pig, (he is quite big, at least 150 or more pounds) and a perfect gentleman around our two new young ducks and he was really well behaved for his treats. This method works! I can't be happier that I found Lara's website, we almost had to give up this pig because he was so aggressive. I had a pot belly previously for 20 years, until he passed so I am a little familiar with pigs as pets, but my current pig is a mixture of breeds and very different. Now he is happy and sweet as I knew he was and could be, it was my fault that I did not train him correctly. I didn't know better, now I do! I love my piggy so much, even more now that I see so much improvement.

What was that that he was chewing on in the pin? Looks like something I should try for Willie

Well every morning when I see my pig my pigs almost basically trying to run toward me but he's always putting his nose on back of my calf so I don't know if he's trying to bite or what he wants but he gets his food every morning or treat but it scares me but I'm trying to control that but I don't know why he's doing that

[@bayside6207]

Your pig is doing that to assert dominance.

[@lillianrodriguez812]

I have to petsit a pig that doesn’t like me and I’m so scared. He jumps to bite at me when he is in his crate when I visit his owner. How can I protect myself?

[@TheAnimalBehaviorCenter]

Train it to station whenever you are walking by it. Pigs catch on very quickly.

[@AdamConstantine]

We are having a big issue with our 2yo pig not liking and attacking our son. He charges with open mouth. Often we cannot have the pig out if our son is not sleeping for nap or bedtime. Can we get a training session with you or maybe some specific advise for this. We would love to keep our pig and resolve the issue. We are exhausted trying to get both of their needs met separately. It means we are up late with the pig letting him roam around outside or be with us inside

[@TheAnimalBehaviorCenter]

I just responded to the email you sent. I'm happy to help you.

[@andreagingrich89]

So I recently got 2 piglets and shortly after that the woman I got it from said that she was losing her land and would I be willing to take the mommy and that she had raised her since she was 2 days old and so I did but I noticed she is very aggressive when it comes to food and has bit my son and frankly is a little scary do you have any tips for that I don't know how long the behavior has happened or if it happened with the original owner this is only my second day to have her

[@grahamp2806]

I have had my pig for 7 years and have just got a piglet. Since then the older pig has become aggressive and doesn't like the new addition. what can I do?

[@LaraJoesph]

I have a few recorded webinars that will be able to help you in much more detail than I can type. Here's the link: www.theanimalbehaviorcenter.com/webinars/

[@TheBurrito171]

Not sure I've ever even met a pig without aggression issues. Maybe once, and he was just a baby.

[@cz8556]

I have a question. I have two mini pigs. Both female. There about almost two months old. They have started to root one another kinda like shoving but also like there rooting. This leads to them fighting. I have tried to smack them with a rubber spatula to show them that is not ok. But doesn’t work they still do it. Then I tried spraying them with a spray bottle of water. An it stops them but then later on they will do it again. Why are they doing this ? and how do I stop it? They have plenty of water an food an toys. I don’t understand there only baby’s. They both might also have spoiled pig syndrome as well

[@careytate3734]

I have had a pig for like 6 months now since was a baby an for two days now she’s has been jumping up on my lap when I get up she will circle me an try to bite the back of my leg any help with this I love her so much an I was her main lover she loves my kids buts only with me now

[@LaraJoesph]

I would suggest teaching her how to target and station.

I have an animal sanctuary and we have a pig and a terrier that there are issues with

[@NicoleMaycock]

Hello, my name is Nicole from California. I just got a 4 year old pig. I have a German Shepard, the pig has been charging at him, he is in his crate, she charges at him but is also wagging her tail. Should I be concerned.? I don’t know who to talk to.

[@cz8556]

They do this every we’re like if one is going in the litter box the other one starts to root it or if one is in the bed the other comes up an starts to root it. Or eating an then every time it starts a fight

[@kaylavanboven1191]

[@cleb9353]

Would like to know more about this, but the bird in the background was driving my dogs crazy, so had to close it. Is there a time I can skip to where the bird is not talking over you?

[@knightchelsea]

Thanks for the video. My 5 month old pig had started jumping on my and my female dog and he’s biting my toes. It’s been very frustrating

This is happening to me now

[@bayside6207]

Poor piggy needs more outside time, rooting time,, Natural nature is where it's at. My Sadie pig comes & goes through a doggy door on 2 1/2 acres of fenced property. I spent $100 on Sadie pig through a craigslist Ad because this ladies landlord wouldn't let her keep the pig. This lady put in a tremendous amount of work to where this pig is so calm that I as its new owner can run my fingers along its teeth, kisses on the snout, sleeps in my bed, Leashes up and goes on walks, goes on car rides, camping trips & falls asleep in the car during travel. I mean I really lucked out with Sadie pig!

[@TheAnimalBehaviorCenter]

How do you know he didn't get outdoor time? You should familiarize yourself with my work. He had three areas to be outside and one was a 10,000 square foot greenhouse with grass, banana trees, fig trees, and 10,000 square feet of grass, in addition to two backyards.

[@laupg2013]

Hi, thank you so much for your video. My pig is in his terribles 2!!! :(. I have two problems with my piglet, I hope you can help me with some advice, the first is that he attacks my guests. And I also just rescued a dog from the street, and since he smells me her smell, he attacks me very hard.

[@animalcam1438]

I have the same problems about guests, so since I love my pigs, I just don't have guests. No big deal. As far as the dog goes, don't let the pig see you be kind to the dog. Sneak your love to the dog. Pigs are jealous!
