Question About Lead Training

[AcanthaRose]

I have been working with Elsie, my year and a half doe, using treats and a willow stick. She is MUCH better at giving to pressure on her halter, but she still could improve. Liesel, her kid, is also improving, even though she follows off lead a lot of the time. She is a little easier to teach because I have been clicker training her from birth, so its easier for me to clearly impress upon her what I want her to do. I have found that it is a bit challenging to wield the stick; when I try to tap Elsie on her backside to get her to speed up, there is no guarantee I will be on target. I have been giving them brakes during the walks to munch on stuff in addition to extra food before we leave. Another thing I have noticed when we are walking around the neighborhood is that if I stop and stand still for a little while, Elsie starts tugging, even if the was doing a great job following me just a minute before. I try not to give in and release her until she calms down, but its a bit of a nuisance if I am trying to talk with a neighbor or something. Liesel will also get bored and tug if she is on a lead and I'm standing still. Its not that they won't stop if I stop, its just that once we're stopped, they do not want to stand still for any length of time. Do any of you have suggestions for teaching them to stand still when I ask them to?
