Cutting Switch-Backs
#1
My two yr olds have finally gotten fairly good about following behind me while hiking and not pushing ahead (once they blow off their initial energy that is). But when it comes to Switchbacks they see it as a good opportunity to run ahead of me by taking the easy route straight up. 
 Right now I'm hiking them without any packs or weight so maybe that behavior  will change once they are loaded down a bit?  What sort of training methods have you used to keep your goats on the trail?  I plan to start taking my boys out one or two at a time to train them in a more structured environment and cutting switchbacks is a big problem for me on a few of my local trails so it's number one on my list of things to work on. Thanks!
