Goat walking on heels

[Nanno]

Expect it to take several hikes before the lesson starts to sink in. Even as it sinks in, he'll probably need a refresher course from time to time. He may also run around in front of you quite a few times in frustration at first, but if you're consistent about putting him back at the first opportunity he'll settle down eventually. I find that the ages of 12 months to about 2 1/2 years are the most difficult because your goats haven't yet learned basic manners, nor have they learned that they can't challenge you so it's a bit of a dual problem. The main thing is to be calm and consistent and not get frustrated if it takes time for the lesson to stick. Some goats learn right away but the more dominant/determined ones can really try your patience!
