When I was a young bhakta, I got a set of young oxen to train. Although it

was

pretty much by the ascending method, they did turn out pretty good. The most

important thing, IMHO, is to become their friend. During the morning

program, I would go out with them and feed them grain, and chant a few rounds

of japa with them while they ate. Just a simple thing like that and we

actually

got pretty close.
