Training en voortgang

Mixed Guinea Pig has low trainability. Food-led confidence building with very short calm repetitions. Training plans should also respect food-led stationing, routine routes, calm handling setup, and confidence-first repetition.

Werkdrift staat op 1/5 en impulscontrolebehoefte op 1/5. Daarom zijn tempo, pauzes en herstel net zo belangrijk als herhaling.
