Leash-Training Your Pet Rabbit

 


If you are planning to train your rabbit to use the leash, here are some necessary information that you need to know:

     Older rabbits have a long attention span. Hence, compared to the younger ones, older rabbits are easier to train. However, as older rabbits experience health-related conditions, they can be a little unresponsive to training.

     Rabbits are crepuscular, meaning they are active during dawn and dusk. So, it is best to train them during the twilight period as they are more able to absorb new information during this time.

     Practice positive reinforcement by giving your pet some treats during the training. Rabbits also love when their owners stroke their ears so, make sure you do this as well to compliment your pet.

     Take note also that you need to adjust the size of the leash as the rabbit grows.

 In case you have concerns about your pet’s behavior during the leash training, consult your veterinarian Cy-Fair.
