I picked (floyd)  up 18 months ago. he was seven years old then and hand raised.  Very spoilt  Toggenburg goat. He is also buy far the smartest and liked to dominate the other 2 year old sannans. That all changed 4 months ago when the saanens got big enough to give him a good hiding.
Most the time he is well behaved but the moment he goes out of the paddock and on a lead he would like to pull you along. My kids don't like to lead him as he is very strong for his age. If we are out on a training walk away from home he is a lot better. Now he is not the top goat he will still try to get in front of the two Saanen  but they most often push him back down the line. He will eventually stop pulling on the lead if it is a longer walk until he see's something he wants to eat. I think the main problem is he hasn't been taught how to walk. Was thinking of trying a clicker with rewards? 
been watching some you-tube clips last night.
