Proven Advice on Llama Training—From An Expert

Can you handle all your llamas? It's a great feeling to know that in an emergency, or anytime, you can work with your llamas.

Or—if you don't have llamas but are thinking of it—would you like to know how to do these things?

Here you can watch a couple of minutes from the program we made with Bobra Goldsmith:

In just a few days, using Bobra Goldsmith's techniques, many people have trained llamas to:

• accept a halter
• walk easily with a lead rope
• load into a vehicle
• and perform other tasks.

Often llamas understand what you are asking of them after you have shown them only a few times. Once they understand, they tend to remember. They are incredibly smart!

Bobra's techniques are also used effectively for training alpacas, relatives of llamas.

Noted llama trainer Bobra Goldsmith has been training llamas for over 25 years. Her close attention to their behavior led her to develop training methods which are easy to use and respectful of the animals.
