In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast, Autumn answers a very common question pig parents have—how do I leash train my pig! Walking your pig can be one of the most rewarding (and sometimes frustrating) parts of pig ownership, and Autumn breaks it all down step by step.

You'll learn the difference between harness training and leash training, how to choose the right harness, and what to expect when your pig experiences that strange new feeling of being on a leash for the first time. Autumn also shares her favorite harness brands, tips for introducing your pig to the leash slowly and positively, and a simple reward-based method to build confidence and trust.

Whether you're starting with a young piglet or helping an older pig get used to walking, this episode will give you the tools and patience to turn leash time into one of your pig's favorite activities.

Key takeaways:

• Don't rush the process—comfort comes before control.

• Always use positive reinforcement (treats like Cheerios work wonders!).

• Make every training session a positive experience for your pig.
