What tricks can you teach a rabbit?

Question

just wondering if they can be trained to like backflip on command or something

Answer 1

Rabbits really shouldn't do backflips, that could break their back!

But, my rabbits can do lots of funny things. They can be trained to come to you when you call them, jump up onto your lap. They make very nice pets for adults whop have the time and space to give them a happy and stimulating life. Remember that rabbits are social animals and it is cruel to keep just one. Visit www.rabbitwelfare.co.uk or search for the house rabbit society website. Rabbits are one of the most mistreated pets in the UK, it;s so sad as they make the most loving and rewarding pet to have if you treat it well.

Basic Training of the Puppy - Read here https://tr.im/am6Cw

The new puppy is certainly one of the most adorable and cuddly creatures that has ever been created. It is the most natural thing in the world to shower it with love and affection. However, at the same time it is important to realize that if you want to have a well trained adult dog, you need to begin the training process right away. The dog, like its related ancestor, the wolf, is a pack animal. One of the features of a pack is that it has a single dominant leader. Your new puppy is going to want that leader to be you, but if you do not assume that role from the very beginning, the puppy’s instincts will push him to become the leader.

The most important thing to remember about training the puppy during its first six months of life is that it must see you as the leader of the family pack. The essential thing is gaining the trust and the respect of the puppy from the beginning. You will not do this by allowing the puppy to do whatever it wants to do whenever it wants to do it. On the other hand, a certain amount of patience is required. Most people err in their early training by going to extremes one way or the other. Although you need to begin the basic training process at once, you can not expect your dog to do too much at first. Basic obedience training is fine and should include simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Remember that trying to teach the dog advanced obedience techniques when it is a puppy is much like trying to teach a five year old child algebra.

It is also important to restrain from cruel or abusive treatment of the puppy. You can not beat obedience into your dog, and it certainly is not going to engender feeling of respect and trust. House breaking is an area where this usually becomes a problem because of the anger that is triggered when the puppy fails and creates a mess inside the home. Although this issue must be addressed without anger, it most be addressed. If you allow the puppy to eliminate inside the house, it will continue to do so as an adult dog. The same thing is true of other destructive or dangerous behavior such as chewing and biting. Do not expect the puppy to grow out of it. You are going to need to train the puppy out of it, but you should do so firmly but with a sense of play and fun using positive reinforcement and lots of love and praise for good behavior.

Answer 3

I have 2 dwarft bunnies. They are trained to use a litter pan. They play ball and flick tiolet paper rolls around. They love to hide in boxes. But the only cool thing I've seen them do is chase my cat. Then my cat chases her back down the hall then the buny chases the cat back up the hall. It's very fun to watch.
I honestly don't think they are smart enough to do backflips. LOL
