We can't put ours out together- the goats spook easily, and while they don't mind the dogs, if the goats start running, the dogs start chasing, making the goats run faster. We can't stop them once they get in that mood (the goats or the dogs)
It isn't the same thing as with horses, as the person above said. Our horses kicked the dogs, and then they learned to leave them alone, but a goat is not strong enough to do so.
You can try a shock collar. From personal experience, even a dog that listens well is not going to stop when chasing a goat.

Are your Goats in a pen? How big is your Dog? I raised goats over 17 years and I had a weiner dog that always went up and try to caused problems with them. Until One day I let the goat give it to him she butted him a good one and the dog never messed with them again.

I have had similar issues with my Blue Heeler wanting to chase my horses. I don't know what has worked the best between the shock collar or the electric fence. He has gotten kicked in the mouth and lost a tooth. When they run he gets excited but having gotten shocked by the fence he doesn't even get close to the fence. He does still chase and kill cats and rabbits. Time to get the shock collar out again!

Keep them well apart.
