In this episode of the Pet Pig Podcast, Autumn, mini pig expert, trainer, and owner of Autumn Acres Mini Pet Pigs—dives into one of the most common questions from pig owners: Can mini pigs really be trained? The answer is yes, absolutely—but not in the same way you’d train a dog.
Autumn explains why pigs think differently, what motivates them (hint: it’s not praise), and how understanding their instincts can make training easier. She covers the three most common training mistakes pig owners make and shares her top three beginner-friendly training commands: “come” using magic words, “touch” using a target stick, and “spin,” which builds off the touch cue. These simple tricks are not only easy to teach but incredibly versatile and help build the foundation for future training success.
Whether you’re just getting started or feeling stuck with your pig’s behavior, this episode offers the clarity and encouragement you need to move forward. Autumn also shares how one-on-one consultations can provide personalized help for struggling!
