@TAH what do you use for treats? I don't want to teach any tricks, I just want a few of them to learn to like me.

I give these things as treats
Apples
Banana chips
Pea

Grapefruit Peal
Raisins

Is there an article or post on how to train them? For example teach them their name? I've been told that isn't possible with goats, but would like to prove the exception to the rule

 

[TAH]

It is possible. All my goats answer when we call. They are incredibly smart and can learn lots of things. My billy goat Leader is smarter than my dog.

 

[TAH]

When I trained them to answer to there names, I would start with saying there name and then when they look at you reward them.

Thank-you!

 

[TAH]

Your welcome. If you have any other questions about training just ask me.

My girls and buckling know their names, I call them when it is time to eat and when they wonder to far. As for the buckling we play hide and seek and I say his name to find me. It is fun and cute!
