    Hello,

    I wonder if anyone has a simple suggestion for stopping the alpacas from cushing during a toenail trim. My girls are fairly new to me and I am working on a training process and would like to have a chute, but in the meantime......

    I am generally working on my own so could use suggestions to facilitate a solo process. These girls came from a large herd and I believe had more forceful methods used on them so they are quite cautious. I tried to do the nails when one was down, but she kept her feet snugly trucked away.

    Thanks for any tips!
