Is it possible to teach a dwarf rabbit tricks?

Is it possible to teach a dwarf rabbit tricks like sit up, walk on hind legs, etc?Is it possible to teach a dwarf rabbit tricks?
With the right trainer and right motivation it is. You just need to be willing to take it slow and not get angry at your rabbit for not getting it right away. Rabbits are not like dogs they do not live in packs and have one alpha male/female so they don't feel the need to impress you like dogs do but they like treats and are motivated by that a lot. I would go online and do some research and see what methods other people use for their dwarfs. Good luck and have fun!Is it possible to teach a dwarf rabbit tricks?
Yes. It can take a bit of work, but not because they're not smart - rabbits actually have fairly active minds and love to play - but because often they just don't want to obey! Even a well trained rabbit has selective hearing. Things like standing on hind legs and come here aren't too hard since they're natural actions that you just need to be able to prompt by command, typically by offering treats and then slowly phasing them out.
It can be done but requires the right kind of bunny (outgoing, patient, trusts you) and the right kind of owner (loving, patient) to do so. It is much harder then with dogs. The method people seem to find most effective it clicker training, there is someone on youtube who puts up videos of them clicker training their rabbits, it looks amazing!





Just go on youtube and type in the search box clicker training rabbits. Also, search google for the clicker training method and other methods and give it a try!





Good Luck!
Its possible to teach any rabbit tricks. They have the minds of a three year old. They are very smart!!
