Book Description
The definitive guide to handling, training, and managing llamas and alpacas.

Learn to be the kind of person a camelid loves to be around and still get your management job done safely and efficiently.

If you already have Marty's first book, Llama Handling and Training the TTEAM Approach,referred to by many as the "Training Bible" then you will surely want to get the new testament! This is not a revision but a totally new book. Chock full of new techniques that Marty has developed over the last 10 years you will find this book absolutely indispensable as well as lots of fun to read.

This new book has detailed information on every aspect of camelid ownership- everything from wool to weaning and herding to halter fit. Chapters on Medical Herd Management, Herd Maintenance and Husbandry guide you through everything from the birth of a baby, to coping with emergencies, to assisting your veterinarian with medical procedures (reviewed for technical accuracy by both Dr. David Anderson and Dr. LaRue Johnson). Learn the Laws of Camelidynamics. Understand how your behavior is the key to training. Learn how physics, not force can help you accomplish previously challenging tasks such as injections and toenail trimming.

Whether you have 2 llamas or 200 alpacas this book is for you.

400 pages, hundreds of illustrations. Clever icons help you navigate through every aspect of training and caring for your camelid.

At over two pounds this big book is worth its weight in gold

 • An Awesome Book!
09 March, 2006

I started out knowing very little about Camelids but have expanded my knowledge through this book! Marty is an excellent writer and has made my thirst for knowledge even greater. I hope to have a couple of llamas within 2 years or so due to her insight! A must-read for anyone interested in llamas or alpacas.

 • Superb And To The Point!!!
28 February, 2006

I'd been searching for information concerning the simple facts of alpaca rearing. A wonderful suggestion came to me from the owner of the Alpaca Digest, Peggy. I can't thank her enough for all her help and the wonderful suggestion to purchase this book! It truly is full of wonderful information which is going to prove totally useful in our future endeavor of raising alpacas. Thanks so much to Marty - whom I hope to meet one day soon! Good job!

 • Overwhelming Information
28 May, 2007

I read this book from the very beginning and made notations where I needed to improve my habits around my alpacas. They now are more relaxed around me and other people. This book is also very heart warming too. Great pictures to help you to understand what it is that these animals require. I am using this book as a reference also.
