We train our alpacas to be able to react calmly to a variety of challenges they may well meet in their daily life. Things like loading into a vehicle, walking across weigh scales, crossing different surfaces, going round obstacles, coping with unusual noises and many more. We do this with alpacagility training using CAMELIDynamics methods.
We find the alpacas enjoy the interaction with the handlers and taking on new challenges. They are noticeably calmer when we have to do tasks such as fringe trimming or toenails clipping and even for routine husbandry tasks, such as body condition scoring or weighing.
Rachel Hall and Kate Brookes are both CAMELIDynamics Consultants and we train you to do this sort of training with your alpacas, whilst you and the alpaca also have fun. You can come to a workshop at Mullacott Alpacas or we can bring the training to you and work with your alpacas.
Workshop dates are included in the training page here on Mullacott Alpacas or contact Kate to arrange a personal date for your training.
