I have a potbellied pig also..and have had him for about 7 months. We got him when he was about 6 weeks old and right away put a litter box in the corner of the house. We started training him to go in it with treats. We would direct him to the box with a grape or carrot and only let him have it when he went into the box. By sayin over and over 1 phrase "in the box". He got the hint. When he would have an accident we would say loudly and sternly.."in the box" so he would run to it. Then we would give him a treat when he finished in the box. He hasnt had an accident since. It takes patience and constant sayin the same phrase
