Camelidynamics - A Two Day Basic Clinic With Marty McGee Bennett
Sponsor: Arriba Linea Alpacas
Attending a Camelidynamics Clinic is the most targeted way to learn the methods and techniques of this effective system of training llamas and alpacas!
Llamas and alpacas feel compelled to use the flight or fight response when they feel they are in danger. Learn which of your behaviors they find dangerous and threatening. Then, learn simple alternatives to these behaviors and you are on your way to restraint-free handling.
