Training a Ferret to Do Tricks Can be Frustrating

Sometimes Ferrets Have Other Things on Their Mind!

Added on Dec 9 2007

While ferrets can be pretty trainable, trying to train an active ferret is sometimes a bit frustrating. This video is a cute example of a ferret who would rather do some investigating rather than paying attention to the training session. Not all ferrets take as easily to training so don't be discouraged if your ferret would rather play on its own terms rather than follow your training ideas. keep training sessions short, fun and positive, and enjoy your ferrets for who they are!
