What people are saying

  • “You taught me to manage our herd in a respectful, quiet and purposeful manner. In fact my hubby and I vaccinated them all just yesterday in 5 minutes flat. Your knowledge has empowered me in so many ways. I often hear your voice in my head when I am out there”
    Lise Newtown

  • “The realization that I would never again have to man-handle my alpacas literally brought tears to my eyes. Marty’s approach hasn’t just changed my handling; it has been truly herd-life altering.”
    Marykay Mentzer
    Decatur Alpaca Cottage, USA
  • “The Camelidynamics workshop was a total life-changer. As a vet student, it completely shifted my perspective: my new goal through vet school and beyond will be learning how to best handle my patients so they have a positive experience. I love that Camelidynamics advocates so powerfully for the animal’s perspective.”

  • “I took the Camelidynamics workshop 18 months ago, and the learning continues to this day—it’s a gift that keeps giving. I am an entirely different person with my 18 llamas now: patient, calm, and listening to their needs. The reward for my ‘good behavior’? Life with llamas is just so much easier.””
