Early on in the business, I chased after animals in order to do herd health etc. I felt like there had to be a better way than what I had been taught by other breeders - it was just too hard - on the animals and us! I found Marty's book and starting trying some of the techniques and they improved herd health days tremendously but I still needed my husband to help me. After learning about the practitioners program, I decided to become fully committed to only Camelidynamic techniques for herd health, breeding, training and showing. My first advanced clinic blew me away!! I was so excited to get home and try all the new stuff I learned.
The alpaca chute, chasing and dread are now things of the past and I am proud to say I can do herd health on 98% of the animals on my farm all by myself. My commitment is to share my experiences with others so that they too may enjoy their animals and not dread herd health days or training for shows. It is a wonderful set of tools that make you have many a-ha moments. I praise Marty for developing this and sharing it with us and starting the practitioner program so that everyone can learn to treat their animals with kindness. In the last two years I have seen animals born on my farm get calmer, quieter and easier to handle (new improved two-legger, same alpacas/llamas). The overwhelming response I get from my visitors is "your animals are so calm, they do not even get up when you approach them". That is music to my ears !!
