    what do you want to train it to do?

    Potty train = if he pees or poos where you don't want him to then in a firm voice say "NO" and put him in his cage so he knows that's where to go to the bathroom, and wash his bum off if it gets pee on it so he knows not to.

    To do tricks = grab a piece of his favourite food (lettuce, carrots..?) and guide him with it to do what you want him to do as you say a command word. eventually without the trick he'll know that word goes with an action. (ex. move your hand in a circle while holding a treat and saying "circle", the guinea pig will do a circle to follow the treat until he gets the treat. he'll learn to spin around everytime you say "circle")

    It's a very hard process you need a whip, some rings for them to jump through, and some treats GL.
