Getting past the fear

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, I talk bout fear. Yours and the alpacas'. Big fears - heights, fire etc are healthy and keep us safe. Lower-level fears of what people will think, what if we make a mistake, what if we don't do the right thing, can debilitate, lock us up and cause us to disengage. Alpacas can get locked up too, or opt-out of situations. We can do things to cause this or minimise it. Things that can help our alpacas engage and be present. I share some experiences from halter training some young males. Learn to reduce fear in yourself and in your alpacas. Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.
