Driving Lessons

[Sanhestar]

Well, yes, by now I think it's cruel to do something with an animal WITHOUT properly teaching/training it what I want it to do. I do not think it cruel to do something with an animal. I would not train a shy goat to pack (albeit in steps much, much smaller than any other goat I own) if I thought that. But I will keep the training steps as small as HE needs to be comfortable and able to learn and not as big as I want them to be.

As with regard to the anxiety: yes, looking back at that time in my life, I have been anxious. This might be coming back now.
