How to Potty Train (House Train) a Baby Goat Kid

- If you can house train/ potty train a puppy, you can potty train a baby goat kid.
This little baby's mom wasn't able to feed him, we brought him in to feed him bottled milk by hand.
The only problem with having a "house goat" is that they will pee when ever they feel the urge.
So we used the same techniques that you would use to house train / potty train a puppy, to teach this little guy to pee on a pad and then in a box.

Very smart and so cute this baby goat!
Risa Laughter the baby goat is so cute.
Oh my gosh !! After seeing how cute he is, now there will be a 'run' on people getting pet goats !! He is just precious. God bless you for giving him such care.
Little waging tail. So cute :)
I can watch all day little fella jumping around
I’ve been trying to talk my husband into a goat. Love them!
2115virgo13 husband for a goat? Me too!😄
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 house becomes Paradise
Me too!! Lol 🐐♥️x
i’m trying to convince my mum to get a goat too hahhaa
Ask for forgiveness not permission
We had amazing luck training our buckling to pee and poop outside . We just constantly took him to the same place and he started to associate it . When he had an accident in the house we set the rag we used to clean it up with in a designated spot outside . We still had the occasional accident in the house , but for the most part he did really well ❤️
Great advice! Thanks for your comment!

(:
Thats a great idea. I'm gonna try that. I just got a baby nigerian dwarf.
Bean I will get two soon with 14 days old, what kind if milk should I use
This is so cool. I never realized goat's were smarter than dogs. I've had both. I do know, when I had goats, how smart they were. And they were a joy to have. 🐐❤🐐
😍😍😍😍😍 what a beautiful tiny baby buckling 😍😍😍😍 that cough... 😍😍😍😍 he's so hungry and he trusts so much you
Oh my gosh! That reminds me of my baby Ziggy! Ziggy is a baby Bore goat that was a triplet. We took her in and bottle feed her! She was so much like him, just way more active and a super hardcore Parcore master! 😁💖😋
Omg I had 2 boer goat lambs who were both triplets from different litters. Their Names were Cappuccino and Benji.
They wer soooo cute
OMG what a sweet little thing... PLEASE let her live as long as possible....
frank rumble our goats are dairy goats so we do not slaughter and eat them. This little guy will be part of our breeding program so the girls can produce milk.
So adorable. I love him so much! I hope Rudy is doing great! Protect him! ❤❤❤
WE have a orphaned baby that is five days old. We've been treating him like a puppy and he is sleeping and living with our five dogs. I take him out for potty in the grass just like I trained the dogs. So far so good. I'd say you have to be diligent and patient - use the word potty and stick to a routine . Thanks for sharing your lovely baby!
We actually just added one to our family and I have him walking n on a leash perfectly, 2 times on the leash and he had it. First time he had no idea what was going on but within a few minutes he figured it pit, second time wad lime this was something b he had always done. I had always heated how smart goats were buti am really impressed with their amazing intelligence. And they loved being handled and loved on, they really are a great addition to any family
He is so tiny! And cute!
We have two kids that their mother rejected, so this helps a lot. Thank you!
I don’t know I’m melting from the hot sauce I was drinking or melting from the sheer cuteness of this baby!
Thankyou for saving the little cute fur baby. I just love goats. So lots of love from Traceyanne All the way from Bedfordview South Africa. Your love for animals is inspiring thankyou. Good people like your family f between
So sweet. Glad he’s doing well.
Very interesting video.
There are practical tips and a lot of warmth in it. :)
A great couple of You.
Survivalist = NOW YOU MADE MY DAY.... thanks....at least I know they will have a full life...
You're great. Glad I found you.
Omg what a cutie! Great info!
Amazing baby goat so adorable just like mine
So cute!!! 😍😍😍😍
Not sure if this would work for goats... we have pugs who were trained from puppies to go in a (very) large litter box. We use a 20 lb bag of equine litter that costs $6 at Tractor Supply Co. Once they learn it they know how for the rest ofb their lives. Best part about equine litter is that it's made from pine pellets. So it just smells of pine. Even after the pee is in there. With poops, you just scoop them up and put them in the toilet. The pine pellets just turn to dust when wet. So itv does not clog the toilet. You can put the litter box in a closet. Works very well! 😃
Thank you !! That was very valuable information.
Very very good idea! Definitely going to try this for my kid. Thank you!
Adorable!!
Awww...that is so awesome
So cuteeee!!!
I absolutely love goats there so adorable
well.. i love them as cute little lamb chop and steak...yummy
That’s awesome!

Fabulous indeed X
Very 👍good training. That little kiddy so cute & 😎smart!
Smarter than dogs? Show more vids. Thank you.
So cute
Adorable
soooooooo cute!!
Super cute🌺❤️
Omg thank you so much for sharing this. My daughter in law got a part pigmy, part Nigerian dwarf kid a couple days ago at 8 days of age. He’s wearing diapers but my son and DIL don’t think to take him out in a regular basis to offer him the chance to potty outside so I’ll definitely tell them how you trained yours. Thanks again!
Where do they buy the diapers from? Didn’t know they sold diapers!! (I have a 4day old goat that I rescued)
Wowww. Soo adorable
adorable baby goat, hope he is doing well now
Yes he's a year old and he is healthy happy and has had kids of his own.
Love it! I always wanted a mini goat for a pet and for milk. This would be too cute and perfect!
So cute one...
❤️Cute 🐐 baby 🍼
very nice
Awwwww I so want one. Soooo cute and precious ❤️❤️❤️
At this point Rudy is full grown, and has had many kids of his own, but to this day, he is still my best buddy.
@@SurvivalistGardener Awwwwwww that’s awesome 😀😀😀
We had a nigerian dwarf baby that was dystocic. His sac burst before he came out and he got pneumonia. The momma rejected him. We brought him in the house and he stayed in the laundry room with out male English Angora rabbit. The rabbit taught Squirt how to use a litter box. No more clean up on isle 5.
You guys are so lucky! Why are baby goats soooooo cute???!! I can't stand it 😭😭😭😭😭😭
well.. i love them as cute little lamb chop and steak...yummy
I’m getting my first 2 goats this weekend. I dreamed about having some after I fell in love with them as a child. Only took 30 years but my dream is coming true. I’m like a little kid, I’m so excited I can’t sleep.
Hi Angela! Loved reading this comment. Did you end up getting your goats? How is it going so far? Happy you got them? Thank you!
Rudy is adorable ❤️❤️
Yes...and 4 years later...he is still my best buddy.
@@SurvivalistGardener Love to hear it brotha that just made my day 😊❤️
@@kingkannon8158 FYI: Here is a video of Rudy, all grown up, playing with his own baby kids... ruclips.net/video/g-pMxTRKMiw/видео.html
My momma Goat just had 5 girls, I pulled the smallest two for bottle feeding. I was shocked when she pushed out that 5th one
I had not thought about potty pads. We have one that is about two months old and still less than half of what he should be. He was born smaller than my other Nigerians. So we are looking for some way to teach him. We tried little box and no luck. At the very least to get us through until weather gets warmer.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE want to take it in my arms
She is cute and sofft
I got the same heater
Nice video, can you train them like this when they are around 12 weeks old and not bottle fed?
She is cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I was saying, 5!? I've never had a goat that had more Ethan 2! Wow, your nanny must have been absolutely miserable. Bless her heart.
We have had 4 a couple of times, but 5, never before or since.
@@SurvivalistGardener Even 4! Lol my rescue nanny had 2, a couple weeks early from when I was told her due date. I was holy unprepared, but Betty was tired of being pregnant, and she had the most disrespectfully adorable kids, I've ever seen. Like, who do they think they are being that heckin cute!? In 35 years of ranching, I've never seen cuter and they are also the smallest kids I've ever seen. The little girl was BARELY bigger than my hand and neither one, weighed more than 2lbs. If that! 2 are a handful, 3, 4, 5!? The little billy almost died the night he was born, there was a lot of crying, praying and pacing that night. My vet was fantastic about stress though. Petey, was windswept and his fetlock was so weak it was buckling under him, any time he tried to stand up or walk. I found them literally right after the little girl was born out in the pasture, mom was still cleaning her off and chewing the umbilical cord. Immediately I knew something was wrong with the little billy, he wasn't moving normally, and he was very weak for some reason. I was determined not to lose Petey though. In the last few months I saw a man kill himself right in front of me, and I had to put a dog down that was hit by a car, I still haven't found his owners. I have watched to much death happen right in my face, I wasn't going to lose Petey. I sat and watched them, and mom wouldn't let them nurse. She would kick them away, and Petey tried to nurse 1 time, but he didn't trying again. He was just to weak, and as much as I didn't want to move them, they were out in the pasture cause again, they were weeks early and it was fixing to storm something awful. I live out here completely alone so, it was all pretty overwhelming. I don't know what I would have done with more than 2! The Lord heard my prayers though, and Petey made it through the night and is thriving. Him and I have a incredible bond after that night. He wants to be with me more than he does his mom, which worried me because she finally got it together and started feeding them, and I didn't want him to be rejected because our bond. I have no problem bottle feeding if I need to but I obviously want him to be with his mom, for many reasons lol. So far, he is being taken care of by her. Even when I'm with him. Question, when 3 are born, can they survive and keep healthy with just mom? Taking turns nursing or something? Or do any other kids after the 2, need to be taken and bottle fed? I know that obviously if 5 are born, 1 or 2 need to be bottle fed, but what about 3 or 4? How common is having 3 or more kids? I've never seen a goat have more than 2, and I was planning to start breeding again but now, I'm hesitant lol. My pets are the most valuable and cherished things I have, their health and we'll being is my priority. I obviously don't know everything I should, and there will be no breeding until I do, so any tips would be awesome lol
@@Luna-hk5qg I have had 3 born a bunch of times...they do fine. and they take turns. But you may have to bottle feed them once they get bigger...We usually bottle feed them after 2 weeks, as we want our goats to socialize with humans, as opposed to being dam raised. People tell us all the time, that our baby goats are friendlier than most goats they have visited at other farms, when they are thinking of buying baby goats.
@@SurvivalistGardener Ok, and after 2 weeks when they start to be bottle fed, are they completely weaned from mom and brought into the house or their own stalls away from her? House seems easier because of how often they need to be fed, right?
@@Luna-hk5qg We take them away from their moms and raise them separately, not necessarily in the house. Usually we raise them in the house when they are an only child. If they have a sibling, they are fine being together. Once they are feeding well on the bottle, we sell them and let our buyers raise them and feed them, so that the new owners can bond with the goats themselves. And of course, we use the milk from the moms once the babies are gone, for our own household, and my wife makes every dairy product that people would otherwise buy in a grocery store.
Good boy, Rudy. I hope to train my baby.
He is adorable by the way 😊 is he a nigerian dwarf?
I’m gonna get a baby goat for Christmas
I know I'm 11 months behind, but I was wondering if this would work for a lamb as well? We have a lamb inside for the same reason you had Rudy inside and we are trying to figure out the potty situation. He does wear Pampers and he doesn't mind wearing them but we are just running through them like crazy!
In sfârșit tanti,ți a venit ideea
Thanks for this information, I actually have a angora cross mountain goat and he is beautiful if you want a picture just ask
Pls
GUD👍👍👍👌👌
I just got a 3 day old baby goat as a rescue, mom has Mets & couldn’t nurse. I’m relieved to know that I am potty training right! I’m just training her like if she was a puppy lol, ty! I’m inexperienced with goats so I’m trying 😀
Glad to here it. Good luck. They are worth it.
@@SurvivalistGardener thank you!
I don’t know if this is a stupid question but instead of moving the puppy pad closer to the door could you just throw them outside in the same spot?
Does this work for pooping too? I have a few baby goats and I keep saying “they’d be inside goats if I could just potty train them!”
Aww
My goat seems to want to just eat the potty pads. Any suggestions?
So adorable! How’s he doing now? Do you plan to keep him as mainly an inside pet like a dog? How do you keep him from chewing everything in sight? Thanks for sharing!
He is doing great! He is 3 months old now and he has moved into our main barn with his half brother who is his daily companion and roommate. We are keeping them both as part of our breeding program for the future, since our older boys are getting on in years. Little Rudy is still the most loving, fun and cute little boy we have ever owned. Taking him in, saving his life, and raising him inside during that time, was one of the best decisions we have ever made.
SurvivalistGardener i have had two i bottle raised indoors, then later they moved outside. But i NEVER potty trained them! they wore diapers and i kept them in a humane makeshift pen when i wasnt right there with them. Wow impressive!
My dad found a baby goat by our cow farm,on our land,so he brought him home,that happened yesterday,so now I have a kid,we are going to keep him,and get a couple of females.
Watch my video on how to bottle feed your goat kid.
How's this working? We have goats outside, but just got one for inside ... We're bottle feeding her now and need to potty train her ... It's getting messy 🙄
I want an indoor goat 😊
I would not put the pads on that lovely rug.
I hope it works that would be awesome to potty train a goat gives never seen it before.
It does work! And he learned to poop in there too!
SurvivalistGardener great news!
SurvivalistGardener Congrats on the training! It's so cool you rescued a kid. So cute!
Yes. And even though he is a couple of months old now, and has moved back into the barn, he is still the most loving and sweet goat that we have ever raised.
Omg 😁
What type of goat is that?
what type of goat is he?
awwwwwwww
😍
Hi. I just got me a baby goat. what is that kid milk replacer you feed him? Thanks! Cutest baby ever you got!!
We have a homestead so our goats make milk for us all the time. So when we need to feed babies we take the mom's milk and we put that in baby bottles. That's what we did for this little guy. But you can get formula for goats specifically at Tractor Supply. Many of the people who buy goats from us do that.
Peeing has been easy. It’s the pooping that seems impossible! Every one of mine just drop a deuce any and everywhere they want! Even when in a full run and happy dance down the hallway, they will just let it rip! LOL
Pooping usually follows the peeing. Once we get them trained to go outside (they hold the pee and save it for outdoors), when we take them out and they pee, the poop usually follows thereafter. We have one girl that has been coming in the house for 5 months now, and she let's us know when she needs to go out.
A friend has a little baby goat that started outside and would do his business in a corner near the back of the barn...now he is an indoor goat he uses a doggie door and still goes out by the barn. NO ONE EVER TRAINED HIM ...Weird !
I'm currently training a goat (2 weeks) with puppy pads in a box as well. I'm curious how this is going after a few months. were you completely successful? We're still having accidents and he poops wherever he is, which is only in the box about 1/3 of the time.
We were able to train him so that when he got the urge, he went into the box by himself. Eventually we took him back out with his siblings, because he was much stronger and able to fend for himself. We hand fed all the babies until they were 10 weeks old. He is still much more oriented toward people than any of his siblings, very loving, and would rather be with people (when given the choice).
SurvivalistGardener many thanks! How old was he when it finally took?
He was less than 2 weeks old... way faster than it takes to house train a dog.
I love goats but wouldn't they try to eat everything in your house
How do you get them to not eat the pad....our goat, Tator, eats everything....plastic, paper, cords...puppy pads😂😂😂. I love her though❤
You never had a problem with him eating the pad.
@@SurvivalistGardener you are lucky then😉
My baby goat just ripps the pads to shreds and drops little blackberrys everywhere like she has no clue whiles she hopping around I tried to potty train her but it's not working so we are looking to moving her outside but she screams when nobody is outside with her so idk will be a tough transition I imagine
Goats are herd animals and extremely social creatures. They have a very tough time being by themselves. They need some sort of companion, even if it is just the family dog during the day. They will follow you around like a dog if you let them. One thing you might try is putting her in a dog crate at night in the home. Use puppy pads on the bottom to catch any accidents, and we have even had some little ones hold their pee and poop all night, only to go outside when we take them out first thing in the morning. If a dog can do it, then a goat can do it.Just train them the same way you would a dog.
I'm considering a baby goat.. a dwarf goat.. or pygmy goat. Training them to potty is this with popping as well
Yes. Stick with Nigerian Dwarf goats. Much friendlier and produce more milk than pygmys.
@@SurvivalistGardener raising them in the house is a good idea or making area in the backyard; is it okay? i don't my neighbors to know I have a goat
Eventually he/she will have to be able to go outside. They can live in a shed, but will need air, and protection from the elements, cold, rain, drafts, and too much heat. Make sure you do not let them feed on treated (pesticide) grass. Pick up my book on amazon- Secret Livestock of Survival, it talks about raising animals discretely, and talks specifically about raising goats.
should have done this when i had my lamb inside
Did it work? Is he trained? I can’t find a follow up video 🤪
Yes. It worked... And he was potty trained to go outside whenever he needed to go. We eventually put him back out with his siblings. (This video shows him as an adult : ruclips.net/video/g-pMxTRKMiw/видео.html ) He was the first that we potty trained, but we have had many other baby goats that we brought into the house (that were the only kid born to a litter and goats dont do well by themselves) so each one we have potty trained to go outside. These goats are smarter than the smartes breed of dog, so it only makes sense that if you can potty/house train a dog, that a goat can do it. And EVERY goat that we house trained did so in less than a week.
@@SurvivalistGardener love that! Thank you for sharing!
He is awesome! To bad you couldn't train him to poo outside too!
The poo is easy to pick up. The pee- not so much. But he moved out to the barn to be with other goats after 2 months when he was big enough. He still is my little buddy though, even though he is full grown and has sired many babies of his own.
do they respond to praise?
They are smarter than the smartest dog. They can be loving and effectionate (at least the Nigerian Dwarf breed is). They love praise, petting and rubbing their back/neck muscles. This little boy is over 5 years old now and he is still my best buddy. And has had many kids of his own now.
