Video: I trained me a goat!

I thought this forum might enjoy this little video I made. I had a psychology project on training. I decided to train a goat (I was the only one in my class to do so, believe it or not!) and it worked fabulously! My teacher, who thinks farm animals are wierd, (especially goats, hehe) didn't think it was possible and in fact tried to get me to teach my dog just like everyone else in the class. Anywho, I trained her to turn on the lightswitch in the barn. Enjoy!

can you train mine not to? when they think dinner is late, they open the snap on cover and flick the switch off and on to get my attention. Sometimes in the winter they just turn it on because it gets dark early. they never come back and turn it off.

LOL to funny! That's some smart goats you got.
I don't have goats of my own , but I am enjoying all of yours.

Wow! Think of the potential here. She could become an assistance goat to help the disabled.
