If a goat is not easy to lead, try one of the goat halters. With a halter they cant really pull the way they do with a collar.
Here's the thing-- Goats come with training right from the factory. I wouldnt worry at all about training an older goat so long as it loves people. It'll follow. Its even easier if more experienced goats are there to show what to do. I have some that take to packing no problem. I have one that freaks about the packs for a few minutes at first. He'll get over it-- He hasnt been out with packs enough yet to understand that packs=fun. The thing though is that goats just want to follow their leader and stay with the herd so even an untame goat will follow with you if you bring other goats.
