Please keep us posted on how it goes!
All of my goats who resented letting me touch their hindquarters turned around really quickly with the method I described. One of them had to learn in two days during a show so the judge could touch her without getting kicked in the face. She kicked hard then reared up and leaped around the show ring like a kangaroo on the first day when the judge tried to look at her teats. I worked with her in several short 10-15 minute sessions that evening and the next morning, and by the second day of showing she stood still and only sat down when the judge touched her hind legs. It's amazing how fast they learn with just a few gentle sessions. Once you're confident Liesel won't try to whack or poke you when you touch her, untie her and do the same lessons with her head loose. And definitely let us know how it goes!
