What in the World is "Camelidynamics" You Ask?

Why not come to Sandollar Alpacas May 22-23, 2010 and find out for yourself??  The world renowned "Alpaca Whisperer" herself, Marty McGee Bennett, is coming to the Pacific Northwest!  Sandollar Alpacas will be hosting one of Marty's Camelidynamics 2-day Basic Clinics that weekend.  Click here to download registration packet.

Raising premier quality alpacas is Nikki's and Collins’ “passion” in life today!  But neither Nikki nor Collins were in love with the way they had been taught to handle their alpacas.  Each felt there had to be a kinder, gentler way. 

They met Marty McGee Bennett of Camelidynamics fame for the first time at the AWE show in Portland, OR in 2007 and watched one of her free demonstrations.  They were both familiar with her work, and that weekend purchased their first copy of Marty's book "The Camelid Companion" (which now is their bible of handling alpacas).

Nikki read the book twice, and registered for one of Marty’s introductory clinics that summer; and as a result was hooked!  She came home from the first clinic and told Collins that “he could no longer handle the alpacas unless he was willing to do it the Camelidynamics way” because she wanted consistency in the way they were treated.  Nikki has since taken two advanced clinics, refining old skills and learning new ones.  She was finally able to get her husband Collins to an introductory clinic this past summer, and he now “gets it”!   They even have the "real deal" Camelidynamics Handling Facility!

 
Nikki earned her Camelidynamics Handler Seal in 2008 and in 2009 qualified as a Camelidynamics Apprentice Practioner (AP).  She is progressing toward the qualifications required to become a Camelidynamics Practitioner.   As stated on the Camelidynamics website:

"The AP is qualified to teach the concepts and techniques of Camelidynamics to individuals at a discounted rate and required to conduct a minimum of two (2) 1-day Free Workshops that are no charge to participants. Each practitioner determines his or her own policies and rates."

Why not call 1-877-ALPACA4U today and schedule some time with Nikki?  You will be glad you did...and she is confident your alpacas will be glad you did!
