MIYAGI 1ST INTRODUCTION TO ROTTIE
Since the animals arrival at the ranch, we have been gradually introducing the goats to new things. My dog, Mr. Miyagi, has a particular fascination with the goats, so we began to introduce the goats to the dog through a fence. Our goal was to reinforce cooperation and generally desensitize them to each other.
Finally after 10 days, we brought Mr. Miyagi into the goats’ enclosure on a leash to do their first session side by side without the fence. This video shows a short segment of the training with the fence and a short segment of their first session without the fence.
ENJOY!
