		Thread: The Steps of Goat Aggression Post: RE: The Steps of Goat Aggression Tying him up is another option on the table. Not one that I like, but we are well past "what I like" territory.

I doubt he'll fight through the riding crop, especially if you're good at getting ...	Erikthviking	Training at Home and On the Trail	51	275,683	12-02-2023, 11:35 AM
		Thread: The Steps of Goat Aggression Post: RE: The Steps of Goat Aggression So far so good with the riding crop.

I wouldn't rule it out for a a truly dangerous animal, but I feel like it mi...	Erikthviking	Training at Home and On the Trail	51	275,683	11-30-2023, 01:51 PM
		Thread: The Steps of Goat Aggression Post: RE: The Steps of Goat Aggression I appreciate the guidance, and definitely don't take offense. I understand that the biggest part of the problem here is me, and getting upset at advice I may not like doesn't help fix it. I feel like ...
