Pigs are a lot cleaner than their popular reputation indicates, and they can make super pets. They are sociable and intelligent, and can become very obedient; but they are also curious, stubborn, and — if treated poorly — potentially dangerous. Indoor pigs can be house trained and leash trained like dogs, but they have unique care requirements that you should be prepared for. So, whether you plan to keep your pet pig indoors or outdoors, take the time to provide the proper care and you’ll have a true friend for many years.
Adopt or purchase a pig from a reputable breeder. A piglet from a pet store or farm might seem cute, but it might also turn into an unhealthy and unsocialized nightmare. Visit the breeder's facility and ask to see the parents of the prospective piglet (the sire and the dam) so you can judge their temperaments and know what to expect with yours. Vietnamese potbellied pigs tend to make good indoor pets, while kunekune pigs are usually good outdoor pets.[2] But regardless of breed, evaluate whether the pig (and, if possible, its parents) seems generally calm and comfortable around humans.
Give a pig lots of your time — or get multiple pigs. Pigs are very social, so you need to be able to spend time interacting with them, or they’ll be moody and disruptive. You also need to be able to assert yourself as the leader, or else you'll end up with a spoiled, pushy, and possibly aggressive pig. Being a leader doesn’t mean being a tyrant, though — be firm and assertive, but caring. Consider getting two or more pigs instead of just one. Few people can constantly spend time with their pets, so giving your pig a few buddies will keep it from getting lonely.
Pigs are slower to bond with humans than dogs, for instance. Plan to spend several hours each day during the first several weeks providing for their needs and giving them attention. This will make them more comfortable with you, and establish you as the provider and leader
