Summary: The best way to train a rabbit is with positive reinforcement and gentle negative reinforcement, such as squirting them lightly with water. Discover why it's important to be consistent when training rabbits with help from the manager of a pet store in this free video on pet rabbits.
"Hi, this is Ashley from Pet Planet in Riverton, Utah. Today I'm here to show you how to train a bunny. Unlike dogs, bunnies have no desire to please an alpha. One way that you can train your bunny is... the best thing to do is a positive reinforcement, followed by a gentle negative reinforcement, such as a water bottle, filled with water. If they do something you don't like, you can squirt them, and with a firm no, tell them that that's bad. It does take a lot of consistency to train rabbits, because they are smarter than a dog. Also, if your bunny continues to chew up furniture or things that you don't want them to, you can also try by rubbing like a nail-biting formula on your furniture or even a vinegar, and that should help them stop chewing. If you have any further questions about this, you can contact us at PetPlanetRiverton@gmail.com, and we will be happy to answer any of your questions."
