Neck Wrap

New and Improved Neck Wrap!  This new neck wrap is made of lightweight stretchy neoprene.  

This tool was inspired by Marty’s work with Linda Tellington-Jones. Linda has pioneered wraps and their use with animals.  Linda Tellington-Jones™s work led to the creation of the Thundershirt used for dogs frightened of thunderstorms and other loud noises. A neck wrap serves a similar function with camelids. Marty recommends neck wraps for animals that react violently when injected or when having toenails trimmed. The neck wrap can also very effective in working with animals that are difficult to halter or that startle easily when led. The neck wrap is a more recent innovation taking the place of the body wrap (discontinued) in many situations.  If you have read about the body wrap simply substitute the use of the neck wrap. You will accomplish the same effect and the neck wrap is easier to put on and take off.  Keep the neck wrap on while you work with the animal and remove it before you let the animal go back with the herd.

I recommend using the bracelet technique to balance the animal as you put on the neck wrap.  Roll the ends of the neck wrap towards the middle.  The wrap should be snug but not tight. (see photos)
