They added: "My dog is fine and has relaxed, she's not even barked once but the goats kept trying to come up to her, they were waiting around her trying to approach her and get closer.
"I obviously don't want the goats to hurt her as she's so timid so I've spent most of my day standing in front of her as she's been lay relaxing because the goats won't leave her alone. Please be aware if you're in the area fishing or walking through the fields.”
The Derbyshire Times has approached Kilburn Fishery for a comment.
