Camelidynamics Clinics for the Alpaca and Llama Owner

As a Camelidynamics Practitioner1, Tiffany offers a 1-Day INTRO Camelidynamics Clinic, as explained below.

What is Camelidynamics?
Camelidynamics is a respectful and effective approach to training and handling llamas and alpacas developed Marty McGee Bennett who has been a part of the camelid industry since 1981. The Camelidynamics approach incorporates TTEAM and TTOUCH principles and techniques (developed by Linda Tellington Jones) which have been thoughtfully adapted for llamas and alpacas.

• Valuable marketing opportunity for animals

• Way to showcase your ranch/organization

• Opportunity to get hands-on guidance with your own animals

• Valuable service for a llama or alpaca club/organization for its membership.

• Effective networking tool with like-minded camelid enthusiasts

What is the Camelidynamics Guild
The steady growth of the camelid industry has increased demand for Camelidynamics education throughout the world. The number of new owners and breeders are increasing faster than the Camelidynamics clinic schedule can serve. The Guild was formed to meet this growing need for education and resources for the camelid owner who wants to handle and train their camelids with respect and results.

The Guild Mission:
The Camelidynamics Guild contributes to the well being of camelids and to the continued success of the camelid industry by teaching owners and handlers how to manage, handle and train their animals using methods and techniques that are
FUN, KIND, RESPECTFUL and EFFICIENT.

Guild members enrich their knowledge and abilities through a variety of educational channels including hands-on workshops and clinics, an online forum dedicated to training and handling, guidance from founder Marty McGee Bennett and a comprehensive resource library. By contributing to the collective wisdom and experience, members help continually elevate the standards of handling llamas and alpacas around the world.
