Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

I was raising a piglet for training and the 12 week old pups I had didn't bay very much just wanted to catch... so gave away my piglet because he was turning into a pet... Grin Smiley

They will never make it to trainers if they are that young. Bread milk pig starter have to have something they can easily digest at that age they would still be on mommas milk at that age we raised one from that small he's about useless nothing but a pet.

If u stay away from the pig and don't show it affection and love on it like a pet or pet it or walk that pig will stay able to bay up!! And can grow up and be a training pig caught little shots before and worked puppy's several times!!

I raised some small pigs like that.  I mixed pork grower and milk replacer for about 4 weeks and then went straight pork grower. The piglet just had her first litter at 9 months old.  She is great for pups even at 150 lbs.  She just plays with them.
