    Hi! My Llama Trinity is a little too friendly. She wants to continuously smell people's mouths/noses. I understand initially it's getting to know me, but she won't stop. I've tried walking away, pushing her away, redirecting her, but none of it works.

    Also, I give her treats for coming into the catch pen, and she is pushy with that too. So I don't know what the balance is. I try turning around but she doesn't get the message, she just keeps trying to find a way to the treats.

    BTW do forum members get a discount on in-person classes? I'm hoping to make it to the CO workshop since it is also full of rescued alpacas, and that's what I do.

    Thank you Marty!
