Instructions
Take your goat outside the minute it wakes up. Use slow and gentle movement when approaching your goat or it will run. Say a command like "go potty" as you take the goat out. This will register in the goat's mind every time it has to urinate.
Wait for the goat to urinate. Say "good boy," and then give your goat a friendly scratch behind the ear. Let the goat play and graze while you're outside; it's not healthy to keep the goat inside constantly, plus grazing outside might help temper the goat's desire to chew your furniture.
Take the goat back indoors. Give the goat a treat like alfalfa. Praise your goat again. Give the goat this specific treat only after going to the bathroom outside.
Place a diaper on your goat. Goats are not like dogs when it comes to going number two; they don't have control over their feces and don't understand the concept of holding it. Change the diaper frequently. Some goat owners allow the animals to roam freely outside after mealtimes and defecate at their natural times, thus making it less likely that the goat will poop inside the house later.
