Title: Training
Post by: Fronhaul on September 16, 2011, 10:12:14 am

I was really pleased that finally the alpacas were agreeing to head into the field shelter every morning for food.  That small step seemed to have taken months.  Then I saw this and felt very humble - although there is some fascinating and useful material there.  I'm off out soon to stock up on some of the treats suggested.

Hope others enjoy this also.

Thank you for posting this link. It was so interesting to watch even though I do not have any llamas or alpacas. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Cheers, what an interesting link, I don't have llammas or alpacas either. Good luck with your alpacas. :thumbsup:

The Crowfoot's are very interesting people - I just wish I had so much time to work with my llamas like that!  :)

If only every day had 48 hours in it. 

Small progress here.  Two of mine will now occasionally accept a carrot drop.  Somehow I don't think that my crowd are ever going to impress anyone with their abilities.
