Question
Hi,
I have a 1 year old pot belly pig names Maggie. I can get the harness on her and the leash. She will walk but barely...and a lot of the times I am pulling her. Is this just normal for pigs or does it get better? How can I make it better. I have hear of people taking their pigs for regular little strolls but I don't see it happening. Any advice would be great! ;-) Thanks!

Answer
Hello,
I highly recommend the Infinity Plus Training Harness/Leash Combination.  It comes with a DVD to show how to correctly put it on and how the concept works.
Most pigs are walking well on a leash at an earlier age.
Make sure to note when you order it how much your pigs weighs as there are a couple of different size.  Once you purchase the correct size it will fit your pig or other animals for their lifetime.
It is the best training aid I know of for teaching a pig that you have control of them.  Go to royaldandie.com and go to their product page.
Good luck,
Patty
