Doeling Nipping!

[CocoNUT]

Ok...so I'm pretty sure it's NOT a good thing for my 5 month old doeling to be nipping me. It's not constant...just when I'm doing something else besides worshiping the ground she walks on! She also "leans" or tries to gently push me with her head. She's disbudded, however I'm sure this is some kind of 'dominance' behavior.

How do I stop BOTH the nipping AND the leaning/butting?

Maybe thump her on the nose.

I'm a newbie, and dont have goats, but have been asorbing goat info. Give her a good smack when she nips you, and if she pushes, push back ! Show her your dominant, and not to test you

I may be wrong, this is what I've gotten from asorbing info, so if im wrong..blame the people who gave me this info !

She might be trying to get your attention. I would give her a little tap next time she does it. If she keeps misbehaving ignore her. Show her nipping and pushing won't get
your attention. If she behaves and waits, THEN give her attention. Don't push her back though, It will just say, "This is a game, I push you, you push me!" I would try ignoring her,
if that doesn't fix it, give her a tap, but NOT a shove. Hope that helps.
