We are new to goating but I have been training dogs in obedience and teaching dog obedience for over 30 years. After a two week orientation in their new home we took our two little wethers to the pet store with us and fitted them with harnesses for leash training. We started slowly by allowing them to go where they wanted so they didn't know they were tethered following them around our yard and just let them explore. After a while we started putting a little pressure on the leash so they would follow us instead of going where they wanted to go... It took a good two weeks of daily training but now our little guys are walking beautifully on their leashes. They are allowed to stop now and again to pick up a leaf or a stick to chew on but we keep them moving most of the time. Our training sessions don't last more than 10 minutes a day and it's been wonderful.
Ron and I contract hay rides for churches, schools and other organizations and we take the goats with us. The kids love the goats and our goats are now very socialized toward the outside world.
