I know this was a long time ago but what do I do if I messed up and now my pig is very stubborn and when I try to walk him he kind of runs away 😢😢😢 I don’t know what to do
You will want to go back a few steps. Spend a week, once or twice a day or more, 5 minutes each. Spend that time doing nothing but being in the pen, brushing, scratching and merging friends. When he is comfortable with you, start turning him around and testing your cues in that tight small area. When he is ready, you can bring him out into a slightly larger contained area, testing your cues and lots of breaks, scratching and brushing. You need trust, patience, you need a small space, and you need to spend tons of time.
