HA! So much for my "bottom of the pecking order" theory then!
I think if you can find a place where you can walk with them off-leash you'll have better luck. Then you can go at your normal pace and they'll get used to how fast you go. Then when you do have to leash them, they'll already be used to the pace. I'm guessing he's physically fine, but some goats are definitely prone to be dawdlers. The earlier they learn to keep up with you, the less likely you are to have trouble later on. Best of luck!
