Training a rabbit

Rabbits learn exceptionally well with positive reinforcement based training. This can include methods such as clicker training and lure/reward training. In both cases, the rabbit will receive a reward, usually a small food reward for completing good behavior. Owners can teach their bunnies interesting and complex behaviors for fun ("tricks") but also teach them things such as accepting nail clipping, grooming, handling, and management behaviors such as going home on cue or coming when called.

Benefits

 * Bunnies start to view their owners as the source of good things instead of the "enforcer" or a scary person that puts an end to their fun.
 * Increases your bunnies confidence around their owners and makes them less shy.
 * Good management behaviors such as going home with cues or coming when called decreases the need to chase down and catch a bunny (which can make them less accepting of handling).
