How To Train A Rabbit To Come When Called

Introduction

Rabbits are very trainable, and training your rabbit to come when called is a great way to build a bond between you and your pet. It will also give you peace of mind in knowing that if your rabbit escapes from their cage or enclosure, you can simply call them over to you. To get started training your rabbit, first choose the cue that you want to use for calling him or her over to you (the most common cues are “here” or “bunny”). Once that’s settled, start in an enclosed area like their cage or pen where they feel safe and comfortable with the surroundings. As they eat their favorite treat (like carrots), call them by name using whichever cue word you’ve chosen. If they come right away when called, give them another treat and praise them for coming over. If they don’t immediately respond to being called, ignore this behavior so as not to reward it with attention until eventually they do come over because they realize there is a tasty snack waiting at the end of this experience! Repeat this process until rabbits reliably come when called by name every single time without hesitation before continuing on with other types of training such as leash work or tricks.”

The first step in teaching your rabbit to come when called is determining the type of “calling” that works best for you.

The first step in training your rabbit to come when called is determining the type of “calling” that works best for you. You want the word or phrase to be easy to say, remember, hear and pronounce. The name of your rabbit can work well if it is short and easy to remember. A word like “here” or “come on!” may also be a good choice because these words are simple and clear sounding with few syllables

Once you have determined the “call”, start your rabbit training in an enclosed area that you and your rabbit are familiar with.

Once you have determined the “call”, start your rabbit training in an enclosed area that you and your rabbit are familiar with. This can be a room or section of the house where there is no noise from outside or other distractions. Do not start in the middle of the room; instead, begin by standing on one side and call your rabbit from across the room until he comes over to you. Once he has reached his spot next to you, reward him with a treat or playtime so that he knows what behavior resulted in this wonderful outcome! If at any point during this process he does not come running when called, don’t worry—just try again until he does come running!

While your rabbit is up on the counter and eating their favorite food, you should call their name using your chosen call.

While your rabbit is up on the counter and eating their favorite food, you should call their name using your chosen call. If you have multiple rabbits, use a different name for each of them. This way, when they hear the call they’ll know that it’s time to come running from whatever they were doing.

When you first start training your rabbit to come when called, only use this command in situations where there are no distractions or other animals around (so as not to confuse them). You want it to be clear that whenever they hear this voice/sound combination, this means “come here now.”

When they come over to see what you want, give them a treat and praise them for coming over.

When they come over to see what you want, give them a treat and praise them for coming over. Make sure that your rabbit knows that he did a good job by sitting down with you and letting you pet him, even if it was for only a few seconds. Give him more treats as soon as he has finished eating the first one so that he knows that his behavior was well received. Make sure that you are praising him enough so that he understands why he got the treat in the first place.

Pick a time when both you and your bunny are relaxed and not in a hurry to do anything else.

It is important to pick a time when both you and your bunny are relaxed and not in a hurry to do anything else. For example, this might be at the end of the day after dinner or before bedtime. If they are hungry, they will not be focused on training but rather on food!

Continue repeating this process until you can call them by name and they will immediately run to you.

As with any training process, it’s important to make sure your rabbit is having fun. Don’t use your rabbit’s name as a form of punishment or shame. They should associate the call with something positive, and not be afraid of being called over.

You might also want to think about what you are calling your rabbit in for. If they’re afraid of the outdoors, don’t call them out there! Instead, train them on something that doesn’t scare them at first (like a toy) or even close by (like under the couch).

At this point, once they have learned the concept of “come” on a cue, it is a very simple matter to transfer it to other areas of the house or yard.

To do this you need to:

Find an area that is enclosed and safe for your rabbit (cage, play pen etc.)
Crouch down in front of them with their favorite treat and say their name followed by “come” in an enthusiastic tone. If they come over to you reward them with praise and another treat. Repetition is key here so continue this process until they start coming towards you when called regardless of what they are doing at the time.

You can use treats and verbal cues to train your rabbit to come when called

Use treats to reward the behavior.
Use a verbal cue to tell the rabbit to come. “Come” is often used, but it’s not necessarily the best word for your rabbit; use something else if you prefer, or use more than one word (for example, “come here”). Remember that some rabbits may not hear well so talk loudly enough for them to hear you from across the room!
Use a verbal cue to tell your rabbit not to move from where they are standing (“stay”). This command will help keep them from running away when you try and bring them closer towards you when you’re trying out training techniques during playtime.
You can use any combination of these three commands depending on what kind of training situation works best for both yourself and your pet; however please note that consistency is key!

Conclusion

With proper training and repetition, your rabbit will learn to come when called. This is a very helpful skill that can come in handy if you need to get your rabbit’s attention quickly or if there is an emergency situation where you need to leave the house immediately. Overall, this type of “rabbit training” is easy and useful. It will also help you build a bond with your furry friend!
