Your Instructors
Marty McGee Bennett, Camelidynamics Founder, brings more than 25 years of camelid handling plus an in-depth knowledge of fiber and fiber processing. Marty's approach to llamas and alpacas has evolved over the years and includes her extensive TTEAM and TTouch training with Linda Tellington-Jones. She began to develop her signature way of teaching people how to have a better relationship with their llamas and alpacas while still getting the job done. These methods evolved into CAMELIDynamics - a safe, respectful and effective approach to handling and training camelids.
Tracy Annis, Ranch Manager & Camelidynamics Practitioner uses only Camelidynamics techniques as she shears. Tracy shears both llamas and alpacas in the southwest. She has been involved in the Camelidynamics practitioner program for six years.
