So my Boer doe Halloween doesn't like to stand still. She will walk but won't let me put her into a 'stance'. January my 4 month old doe doesn't mind. BUt won't walk. Halloween also likes to jump leading to her getting stuck on her halter or lead rope. The jumping is a problem since who wants a 200 pound doe jumping on them. Her behavior is changing as I work with her but she hates standing still.

Are you speaking of walking on leash?

We have some goats that don't mind walking on a leash. The first time, oh boy did they jump alot. After a couple of sessions they calmed down and we take them on walks.
keep trying. Not all goats seem to be willing to be trained.
