Summer means shearing, and shearing means handling and fibre.
Is your shearing day fraught with fighting alpacas to the mat, wishing they didn't hate you so much afterwards? How you handle them for the rest of the year sets the scene for this one day. If it is generally gentle and positively reinforcing, then shearing day will have less of an impact than if cornering and grabbing is their usual experience. Camelidynamics is a different way to approach handling and husbandry using a kind and respectful behaviour science based approach.
