How to train my guinea pig?

[PeachesMyPrincess]

My sisters guinea pig (I trained her) goes on walks, in shape, runs, and mostly potty trained. Peaches, my guinea pig is fat, loves to wear clothes, sleeps, and loves music (mostly the Jonas Brothers, and Queen). Peaches seems lazy, and not in shape, and not potty trained.

Also please make a Jonas Brother, or Queen song request for Peaches.

Thanks

All guinea pigs are different, perhaps you need to enjoy Peaches the way she is for now. I have one guinea pig that comes to me and loves me to rub her back and doesn't get enough of it, almost like a dog, she is so trusting. The other is my 'Wild child' I call her and doesn't like me even touching her although she is coming to me for food now and hopefully slowly she may let me touch her one day. I guess it is about being patient and keeping at it.

Maybe you just need to find something that Peaches will enjoy, as all guinea pigs are different.
There are lots of ideas on this thread about things to keep your guinea pigs happy, active and entertained.
Enrichment Ideas for Guinea Pigs

Please also note that we do not recommend putting clothes on guinea pigs, or using leads/harnesses to take them for a walk.
These can be dangerous and uncomfortable for the guinea pig.

Guinea pigs are incontinent and will generally go everywhere, particularly where they eat (and sleep). So if your sister’s piggy is trained that’s not a common thing.

Also, you say Peaches is fat.do you weigh her and feel her heft? That’s the best way to tell whether they’re at an ideal weight.

Thanks I didn’t know I could put her in a costum for my profile pic, sorry.

P.s The costume is huge, it is a xx-small for dogs

Piggies shouldn’t be dressed in anything. Whether it’s big or not it’s not suitable I’m afraid n

Not just for your profile photo, for any photo you put on here. Dressing up of piggies is not necessary or in their interests.
