So, Sassafrass has learned a trick.... She'll be sweet, and nuzzle you and give you cuddles, then stretch ONE leg and put it on you, cute like, then put both legs on your legs/shoulder/chest to reach food, She did this and got poo all over me so I cleaned her hooves, and as cute as it was, it was so gross. Lol.

Hey Straw im catching up on your journal, the chickens that you said are feral, where did you get them? Just wondering

At my old job there was a nubian doe who would do that when she wanted her chin scratched....much bigger hooves, a little painful, but still cute You could teach your goats tricks! Hank does a couple, they're very cute

How would I teach him?

Is Hank you wether/buck/doe ?

Hank is my wether, and I've taught him to "dance", which is just standing up on his back legs (not leaning on anything). I did that by just holding a treat a little out of reach for him, so he would have to jump up for it. Now anytime I make an upwards motion with my hand he will go up on his back legs. I'm trying to get him to be able to walk/ circle while he's dancing

Also, if I make a circular motion with my hand, he will go in a circle. I did that by leading him in a circle with the treat, using my leg to block him from cheating. That one is really cute, since I can have him circle one way next to Elf, circling the other way. A sort of goaty spiral

I am working on teaching him to shake hands, bow, and weave through my legs as I walk.

You'll probably have an easier time than I did seeing as how yours are so young...I had to get Hank friendly enough to come anywhere near me before I could even THINK about doing anything with him! I was going to teach him a whole lot of fun stuff, and then show them off when I took them to Community Day or wherever, but I can't do that now cause of CL You'll have to post pics of yours dancing!

Lol, well mine is a 'in your pocket' goat, so it should be easy either way, lol.

I will, but Im gonna teach it the same tricks as a dog (yes...she will sit and lay, lol) then do dancing... Dancing should be easy, she likes to climb on me!!! LOL!


I could teach her to hop on say, my back, but i may hvae to do my mom cause, im too small even for a dwarf goat, LOL

There's a few good Youtube videos with goats doing tricks, I get some stuff from them. A really good one I can think of off the top of my head would be one called "Spotty's Tricks" that one has that jumping on the back one you're talking about, and a few that I mentioned.
