One of the many techniques I use in training pigs is positive reinforcement. It works really well for pigs because they understand that if they do something that makes you happy, they will get a reward, so they will do it all the time for the reward. In our house we use “Magic Words”. These words are a way that we teach our pigs positive reinforcement. It teaches them that obedience brings reward. The key is consistency. Pigs will only listen if they know that they will be rewarded for being obedient. They need motivation. Since they are prey animals, they naturally do not like to be forced to do something. While correction is sometimes needed, positive reinforcement is more fun for everyone and very successful. It works because pigs are just that smart.
Magic words are a few words or phrases that we use, and our pigs know that if they hear those words and they do what we ask they will get a treat.
