Chirpy
Loving the herd life
I agree that a squirt gun is often a great learning tool to stop a goat from bad behavior like that.
Do you pet her on the head? Do you ever push against her head? Those things will cause a goat to push back against your hand and can lead to head butting. Pet her under her chin, behind her ears or on her neck or other part of her body... never on her head.
She really needs a goat buddy .... soon. Goats are so social, when they don't have a goat friend they often start bad behavior out of boredom and unhappiness. A wether would be a perfect companion for her - try to find a boy close to her size and age if possible. Also, if she doesn't have horns don't get a horned goat as a friend; if she has horns then you would want a horned goat; that makes the 'playing' field more equal.
