Goaties are smart!! They know how to play the game!!
I agree with not taking the lead off and waiting..he will eventually get board...as stubborn as they are...you must be more stubborn and not let him win. Cuz the behavoir will continue if you let him get his way!! Just like a 3 year old for sure..they push and push till we give up!! Dont give up and let him know you know how to play the game too!!!
Funny story!! Good luck!! And I'm glad you got the halter..that should work better for you!
