Alpaca husbandry and handling training
Our alpaca training in husbandry, herding and handling is perfect if you’re hoping to become alpaca parents, or perhaps already are, and would like some training on how to keep these majestic creatures happy healthy, trained and handled - we can help!
We’ll create the course around what you, your knowledge base and needs. This can be as short or as long as you like, a visit or residential. We are passionate about light touch handling and keeping happy, healthy animals and want to share that with you.
We use a light touch and trust work with our alpacas and this is the technique that we will pass on to you. It can take time, but we promise it is so worth building up this trust over time and you will see and feel the rewards with your own herd too
Technique is everything

“Since working with Sophie and Will on their training day, I have established my own small herd of four alpacas. As a new alpaca owner I have been more confident in their handling and understanding after the day spent learning ‘ all things alpacas ‘.
Sophie has kindly answered numerous calls and messages since the training day with any problems that I may have encountered, always offering helpful advice or solutions - I can’t thank you enough or recommend you more highly”
