The Top Goat training program here employs the "Lina Training Method". This is NOT the method used to train me (I am totally self taught), but the method I use to train my people. And taking into account who they are, I have simplified my training program down to one rule and one corollary to that rule.
Rule 1 - What Lina wants, Lina gets.
Corollary to Rule 1 - NOW!
If you do not understand the corollary, re-study Rule 1. If you are like Mom and Dad, you will get it eventually. Although, there are times I wonder.
Almost every feeding, I decide to dine in the new private dining room. It is obviously newer, has a wooden floor, and is more spacious. It also offers Snickerdoodle pony's timothy hay that is not available on the old private dining room menu. The one menu item missing from the new private dining room is alfalfa pellets. Alfalfa can be seasonal but there is almost always a momma or kid that needs it so it is generally always available. Sometimes I just NEED it. The start of the video is me telling Dad I WANT to go back into the old dining room. My nemesis Chloe Star (she scares me!) is in the pen with the other momma goats while the "babies" (over a year old now!) are FINALLY being weaned so it should be safe to make it back there. If Dad opens the gate for me, I just have to shove my way thru the babies to the old private dining room door (carefully making sure that Chloe Star has not made it back there) and nervously wait for Dad at the old dining room door and jump up on it to try to get him to HURRY in case Chloe Star. Then SCURRY into the old dining room in case Chloe Star but pause in the doorway to make sure there are no snakes around. I've seen Sam and Henry in there before and Dad has chased them away. Dad tells me they do not come out in winter, but I figure you never know about Sam and Henry and better safe. Then in the second half of the video I am jumping on the alfalfa pellet galvanized storage feed container to show Dad what I need. NOW!
