Halter Training

At Mulberry Alpacas we have learned the hard way about halter
training – by trial and error! We have documented our learning
curve and are now always very keen to pass on the lessons to
our purchasers. All animals sold out of our farm have been handled
using the TTeam handling philosophy and are comprehensively halter
trained.
A classic error in haltering alpacas is to misunderstand
the make up of the facial structure and thus to end up with a
badly fitted halter. This understandably makes the alpaca uncomfortable
and nervous and renders him difficult to manage. At Mulberry
Alpacas, we sell halters designed and recommended by Marty McGee
Bennett, the world’s leading light in CAMELIDynamics, and
we make sure that every sale involves a brief but thorough review
of how to (kindly and respectfully) place it over the face of
an alpaca.
