House Training
Establish a consistent routine. Take your Angora Rabbit to the designated area after meals, naps, and play. Reward immediately for correct behavior.
Socialization
Expose your Angora Rabbit to various people, environments, and other animals early. Well-socialized pets are calmer and more adaptable.

Once basics are mastered, consider advanced training: agility, tricks, or therapy animal certification. Most Angora Rabbits with their Calm, Docile, Sweet, High-maintenance personality excel at enriching activities.
