Hello Saltlick
Goat Treats I am using on Fuzzy as well as the big boy's.
Big Boy's get Apple and Oat Horse Treat Cookies. (They are here anyway for the horses.)
Fuzzy is not big enough to eat them yet or learn to like them.
What I am using for him is Alafa Pellets mixed 50/50 with goat pellet feed, ( Same thing the the Big Boy's get)
All of them like the Alafa Pellets or the Goat pellet as a treat anyway ( read that as watch your fingers when feeding)
=======================
Use a 6-8 foot Horse lead, on him. "Smooth" braided nylon type work good.
You can get "close" enough without getting in side the "Threat Zone" That is what makes them bolt and triggers the flight/flight reflex.Step on the lead then go on with training to lead and come with treats.
I have a lot brush around BC1 that the boy's free range in so far Fuzzy has not got tangled up one reason is the size of the rope I use 5/8" diameter and it is a slick type of rope.
RE:Getting tangled up/hung up that is why I devote the time right now when Fuzzy is "Learning" how to deal with restraint and the rope dragging to watch/keep track of what the boy's are doing.
I have seen him figure out how to unwarp himself from a tangle or if the rope is stuck around a tree/bush.
Watching goats at this point takes time but it is worth it.
This is when they learn not to fight if they get tangled up on the trail. Stand and Bleet/Scream for you to come and fix things.

Happy Trails
