Can pigs be trained?
Pigs are very easy to train but are motivated more by food than the desire to please. They can learn their names in a couple of repetitions if a food treat is offered. They will learn tricks such as sitting, twirling, dancing etc. They can be harness and leashed trained with ease. Pigs can be litter boxed trained with ease, although there will be accidents as with all learning. Because they are bulky and short when adults, a litter box has to be low and depending on the size of the pig, much larger than a cat litter box. As pigs must have access to the out-of-doors, it is preferable to also teach them to go outside, a situation they seem to prefer.
