I rarely had issues with my goats with horns. Getting stuck in the fence seemed to be the worst issue, except if you had goats with horns and goats without. Mostly it was one particular goat that wouldn't learn to quit sticking their heads through the fence. The dehorned ones ended up bloody because goats say hello by butting heads. And determine dominance that way.

Thanks!! This is really helpful!!

She takes stuff right out of the big dog's paws! Chases the cats. Her house training is doing better. But I am still losing sleep of course. Love her SO much!

Awww so cute!! Saw so many cute Paps today and thought of her lol

She likes to chew people too. I am working on getting her out of that habit. The leash training will begin soon. She only comes when she feels like it. I have already started teaching her to sit. Her bark is hilarious!

Aww

They really are capable of learning early. I did the same with Frank and Abby teaching both come and sit within a short time of their arrival.

Dogs are definitely smart lol

They can learn early as long as there is a lot of positive reinforcement, the training sessions are fun, and not too long at a time. Multiple shorter sessions work better than single longer ones. The allowance for age comes in when they get overly excited, as when you first return home, company show up the they're excited to see, etc.

Yup!! Well said.

I used to show dogs in obedience, and taught obedience classes back in the 70s. I expect I can manage to train one saucy pup

Aw she’s gonna be so well trained haha

Yup. Always good to take advantage of positive opportunity when they give you good behavior randomly too.

Very true. I always love when teachable moments happen too and you can just train/learn something in real life when the opportunity arises haha

Had an uninvited guest in my pens this afternoon. Was up against a waterer,...waiting! It's a small one by most standards but still deadly.

Just woke up about 1:30 am here. I manage to sleep through all time zones. I was supposed to be starting season 3 of Jessica Jones. Well she'll be available at Netflix for awhile.

Snake!! where? Have to get my snake stick sharpened just puts dents in them.

Well one of my turkey poults had to be put down. Thought he/she had a slipped tendon so I took he/she to the vet and discovered that it was actually broken in the joint. Vet asked if I wanted to put it down and I said yeah but I’d rather be the one to do it. No idea what happened. He was fine a week ago.



We actually are! Fixin pork steaks and dressing.

Not much you can do about a broken leg.
