Driving Lessons

[DownUnder Gal]

Thanks Sabine, your latest post makes me feel better (in particular, that there are others having such issues!).

I am very excited to report that today Koby and I had a very successful lesson with mats. We did it entirely off lead; it was too hot for Koby to wear his harness so we worked in a shady yard. Interestingly it was a fair distance away from the other goats where he couldn't see them. I put down three square mats - the small mats that fit together like a jigsaw - and targeted Koby on my hand away from the mats. Then I asked him to follow me to each mat and rewarded him we he stepped on it. Within 10 minutes he was walking across all three mats upon command, a total distance of about 10 metres. I was so proud of him
