DIY Guinea Pig Sit Trick

Train your guinea pig to sit upright! Watch your guinea pig to see if it is strong and agile enough to perform this trick. If safe, get a treat that your guinea pig particularly likes. Show the treat to your pet, holding it in front of their nose, then raise the treat above their head slowly while they follow it with their head. Give your pet the treat if they follow it with their head. Repeat the process, raising the treat higher each time before rewarding your pet and softly saying a command, such as “up.” If you want to give your guinea pig verbal praise each time your they sit up or progresses toward the goal of sitting up, softly say “coo-ee.”
