I have 2 daughters and 1 son. Paxton is the baby of the family. When he was small I had so much trouble keeping up with him in stores. It is terrifying to lose a 3 year old in a mall. So I bought him one of those leashes that Velcros to the child's wrist and the parent holds the loop on the end. That was in the late 80's; there are much more clever "leashes" now, like monkey backpacks with a leash. Well, for Paxton that was not going to happen. He said I could put the leash on my wrist and he would hold it. Since the results "could" be the same, I was happy with that. But he could not let go or he would have to wear it. That worked fine; "he was in charge" sort of.
With goats, I first got 2 does when they were less than 2 weeks old. When they were a couple of months old, they walked beautifully on a leash.
Now Billy Shakespeare is 11 weeks old and getting a little big to carry, so I wanted him to learn to walk on a leash. Again, I'm having trouble with who is in charge.
