This was the way I trained my, mostly grown, wild caught adult and my wild caught baby:
Let him get used to a cage to serve as a safe area.
Allow him to enter and leave his cage on his own while you are in the room.
You will likely have to sit still a long time. It helps to read a book or watch tv.
Avoid handling him unnecessarily, and when he gets more comfortable around you, work up to giving him treats from your hand.

Does anyone have any hints, tips or pointers for a new genet owner who is working on taming down a 3 month old small spotted genet. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
