The Steps of Goat Aggression

[Erikthviking]

So far so good with the riding crop. I have gotten pretty good at targeting his nose, and he has gotten much better at staying out of my bubble. I do have a cattle prod in case he starts fighting through the riding crop, but so far that has not happened. The last time I was in there with him, I had to move toward him and he stood his ground. I wacked my boot with the crop and he moved out. He keeps himself on the opposite side of the does from me now, instead of staying between me and them. I am getting better at recognizing when he is looking for a stand off, and when he is just minding his own business. Also, his walk is much less stiff legged when I am around now.
