Humans often miss-understand or altogether miss the behaviors leading up to a true stomach contents spit. An alpaca or llama can easily manipulate our human fear of receiving spit by simply snapping ears back and very slightly raising the nose. “Oh no… they are going to spit!” As if by magnetic repulsion, we move back hoping for the moment to pass.

Questions From Readers Young Llama Males, Open Females and Weaning Cathy, After reading your articles on weaning I have decided to commit to allowing my llamas to wean their babies. I have 2 male crias, one 5 months and the other 1 month. I will geld the male who is now 1 month old, but would like to wait and show the 2nd male in April. My question is can I allow the older male to remain with the female herd [open moms and daughters] while his mother weans him? Or do I have to move both mom and son away from the main herd? This seems drastic to me, but I do not want any of my llamas impregnated by this male either. Thank you for any advice you can give me. I've collected all your articles and bound them--they are invaluable as I am a newbie llama owner. Mary Continue here for the answer More Questions From Readers here Llama Talk

Cathy's Behavior and Training Clinics and Presentations for Alpacas and Llamas My clinics are continually highly received. 
The focus is in problem solving through understanding camelid behavior. There are numerous possibilities for success in working through any situation. But where does one begin? By having an idea of what is presenting through an understanding of behavior, the path to solution more easily follows. In fact, each clinic flows through a number of challenging behavioral issues finding lasting resolution. These clinics focus on participants personally finding success in defining what seems to be at issue, forming a plan and working through very difficult and sometimes unusual behaviors.

New! Tips 'n Info Skating On Ice: Safe footing for llamas, alpacas and us too! In many parts of North America, the winter months inevitably bring layers of ice. Driving or even just walking can be a delicate dance for us. It is easy to slip, lose balance and fall. Unfortunately, an ice landing is hard often causing all manner of harm to our bodies. Though entertaining, Walt Disney’s Bambi 
provided us with a nearly first hand view of the difficulties many animals can experience negotiating balance on ice. It is important for us to mitigate those difficulties when and where we can. Continued Here More Tips 'n Info here
