"Why I pack with goats" by Dave Suisse.

Dave is my primary goatpacking friend as we make annual trips to the Winds together. Fun video!

I notice in most YouTube videos showing goat packing, the goats are all free to pick their own path. Is this because the trails are so remote? It seems to me that on trails that require dogs to be on leash (most more-traveled trails), you'd want the goats on lead in case you encountered a dog--and also it seems like the spirit of the rule would include goats in the restriction. How do the people on this forum handle this when not in the back woods?
