If you need help with your pig, please contact a licensed or certified trainer or behaviorist for assistance. It is important to find someone who bases their training and behavior modification methods on scientifically-sound principles, and who is up-to-date on current research with regard to animal behavior. Force or punishment-based methods are extremely difficult to use effectively and should only be used in consultation with a professional who can inform you of the risks and downsides of those approaches, including a potential increase in aggressive or fear-based behaviors. Below are some links to help get you started with your search.
