Hi!! I don't pack with my goats ( I plan to when they are older) but I hike with them all the time. We are on trails and they are usually not leashed or tied, although I always have leashes with me.
Lately my goat hikes have been very slow because my wether Miguel (yearling) insists on getting in front of me and then moving very slowly. When I attemp to pass him he speeds up to prevent it and then slows down again. It is very irritating and I need to train him to stay behind me on the trail.
He is generally very sweet and smart, but he is a big boy and can tend to be a bit of a brat. He is a fast learner.
So what is the best method to train him to stay behind me on the trail?? Thanks!!
