I would just try to pen them up on the porch somehow that feels more secure to them when you have the dog in the house. Its not practical to have goats in the house because they cant control the pooping. I have a little bottle baby in here now for almost 2 mos whose mother wouldnt take her and its been too cold to get her out there in the barn with them. She's going to have a terrible culture shock at some point when she has to realize shes a goat and not people!
