Lets talk about goats!

Has anyone ever tried, with success, any of the "home remedy" goat pregnancy tests like pouring urine into bleach, or pine sol and looking for a lot of fizz or the circle of dandelions?

I haven't!! Curious if it does work though...

I'm just worried about his horns and Stetsons lone working eye lol. He is a saanen alpine cross I believe. He is such a cuddler with us.

Ahh! hadn't thought about that. I don't know how well it works but I have seen people put tennis balls on their horns- not sure how they keep them on..

I'm horrible with goat breeds he is adorable!

I think the boys almost have it figured out. Now on too the dogs. Yoda hates them. He bolts every time he sees them. Always comes back to me though at least.

I'm actually a dog trainer for a rescue so that's my area for once!

Although I suppose you're training the goat not the dog...I would just do whatever possible to make Yoda associate the dogs with something positive (treats!)

Get special treats for him that he LOVES and he only gets them around the dogs. He doesn't even need to be close to the dogs but with the dogs in view- maybe they are tethered a couple yards away.

That's what I would do with a dog when trying to remove fearfulness from a situation. Positive association.

My goats don't care about any of my big dogs but my nannys LOATHE my chihuahua. They will charge at him through the fence hahaha.

Haha! Take it and then make lots of videos of goat on piano antics. Oh my goodness that would be hilarious. Ours have a kids play house, a balance beam and a teeter totter. We've been looking for some big spools for them but the ones we find are either tiny or absolutely gargantuan
