P.B. pig problem

Question
Hello,  I have a 7 month old pot bellied pig named SUMO.  He has recently decided to stop listening to me.  Every morning SINCE HE WAS A BABY!  I take him out to go BATHROOM after he is done eating his breakfast.  Since he was a baby...Sumo goes out to his tree goes to the bathroom, and comes back in to sleep again. NOW, Sumo won't go to his tree at all...he runs around my property going to older potty spots, but then when I call him to come home, he looks toward me, but keeps trudging along.  I usually let him ot before work, but I'm not going to be able to if he won't come back in time for me to leave...Why is he doing this?  What can I do to stop it?

Answer
He is becoming more curious and playful.
This is normal. (I am assuming he is neutered, if he is not, this is your problem)!
Why not let him have more time outside?
Then, when you call him in, have a special treat.
He is becoming a teenager in human age , and more of a handful!
Good luck,
