Since we took your class last month, I have been practicing some of the methods you taught us. I have a couple of girls who run directly toward the catch pen so that they can be first (and fourth, maybe fifth, well anyway lots!) I have a couple that would rather not enter the pen and ask me to do my thing with them anywhere in the pasture, they love it.
Yesterday, we got to do nails. Well, let me tell you that most of the animals were totally acceptable of this game and did extremely well with me balancing at their head and breathing with them. I had another gal doing the triming and she couldn't believe the changes in the pacas! I was so excited and thrilled about the whole experience and the fact that we trimmed 10 alpacas in about 50 minutes! Past experience, with the old chase and halter method would take about 2.5 hours and EVERYONE was exhausted when we were done.
YIPPEE, thanx so much for your support!!!
