Nubians have ears and hate to have them messed with.... so I just grab Fuzzy's ear and he goes where I want him to go... and a keen switch helps, too. I started the switch as a young kid, so don't know if it would work on an older goat? I can now shake any stick, even a twig, at him and he goes.
I am firmly loving and always as gentle as I can be with him and all the others, too. But, zero tolerance to any behavior on their part that could hurt me.

He’s almost 2. Very charming with forever baby face. Super goofy. Boer mother. Nubian father. Mix. He’s never minded the ear touch. Does hate his horns touched because that’s how I lead him places sometimes when he’s being a stubborn.... well goat. He’s about 130 lbs. maybe try the switch better than my hand. He hasn’t tested me recently but he’s been hanging with his mama who isn’t feeling well. Hoof issues

Right now what he’s doing isn’t hurting me but I don’t want him to think he’s in control because it might turn to someone getting hurt one day. He’s very people friendly right now. The UPS lady loves to see my welcoming committee when she comes and he’s always leading the pack. Lol. But he Just needs reminding who in charge. He was born here so he’s been with us all his life. Just started this. I know we’ll get there. At least easier than just a straight aggressive all the time goat

Male goat attitude, hearing this for the first time.
