People who shear just a few sheep by themselves, without professional equipment or training, often swear by a milking stand. Those are made for goats. They are just a platform about a foot off the ground, with a head rest and a collar that buckles behind the ears to keep the sheep or goat in one place. Most of them relax nicely in that position, with their chin supported by the head rest, and you can easily reach all around them with the shears.
