My goats follow real nice on the trail, and have different temperaments when it comes to being handled and pet.ohiogoatgirl said:...but moonbeam is still skittish and mostly just fights the leash.
Recently I got two halters and have been trying them on the fellas. The difference in compliance between the haltar and a collar is amazing.
I cannot tie any of the goats to a screw in dog post if I am using the collar. They just pull it out. But using the halter they are unwilling to pull too hard against it. On the collar it takes a good tug from time to time to keep them behind me, or the continuous swinging of the staff. On the halter, they do not try to lead for very long.
I was pleased with their behavior on the collar, not realizing they were capable of much more.
