Description
Catching animals by cornering them is the key reason for training and handling challenges from toenail trimming to leading. Using a catch pen and a wand and rope for catching positively impacts every aspect of the relationship you have with your animal. Reaching out with your arm and holding your animal against his will is the SINGLE MOST DAMAGING approach to catching that there is and impacts every other aspect of the relationship you have with your animals. It makes your animals wary and frightened of your proximity which impacts any situation in which you are within arms length.
These tools (sold as a set) are perfect for catching alpacas in a packed pen as you are doing herd management tasks. See the video of these tools in action.
This short wand and short catch rope are also excellent tools as you graduate from catching with the long wand and rope to simply walking up to your llama or alpaca without having to corner him.
These tools work in a packed pen and with animals that are less fearful or accustomed to being caught with a long wand and rope and are ready to accept less distance as they are caught in a catchpen. This short wand and rope set is not a substitute for the longer versions when working with difficult or frightened animals and without the benefit of a number of animals packed in the pen. More tools in your toolbox offer additional options for different situations.
