Question
I just got a mini pot bellied pig, Bailey. She has been with me for two days, and I was just wondering if you had any suggestions on how to stop her from biting, like she doesn't bite hard but she does nip at you. Also I live in a town not the country, Do I have to have tags on her or anything like a dog?

Answer
Most communities don't require a license, but every community is different, and you'll have to check with your community government to find out the specific rules. Some communities have banned pot-bellied pigs altogether. My zoning expert suggests getting a written copy of the community zoning regulations, because even city officials are sometimes mistaken or uniformed, or worse.
When she nips gently push her nose away and say NO in a firm voice. It will take a few times, but she'll learn.
Also, harness training and teaching her a few simple tricks will help her better understand you.
I recommend Priscilla Valentine's Potbellied Pig Behavior and Training. She is an outstanding animal trainer and really understands how pigs think.
