WHAT THE BOYS & I HAVE BEEN WORKING AT

Most of the basic work and all the fun work is off-lead and to hand-signal/verbal commands.

I train my llamas for several hours a week. Below is a list of the things my seven have been working at. Selecting anyone of these will tell you a bit about the method used and, on the right of the page, the progress.. or lack of it ! ! ! I update several times a month, but keep no archives. I have deliberately kept things "bare-bones short" to cater for the casual visitor, but please e-mail if you want far greater detail, or indeed if you have any remarks, comments or questions. You dont need to be a llama-owner!
