Clicker-trained llama shows off shuffling skills

I only do this routine on grass or sand, and only keep it up for a few seconds...for Toby's comfort.

Oh, give him a chance: he's only just learnt to do the waltz, tango and cha-cha.

Thank you. Yes, Toby is beautiful. I sometimes think a stone sphinx would be easier to train ! !

@zxzllamazxz :) Do you have a homepage aswell?

[zxzllamazxz]

This site wont let me quote a web address but if you Google in Terry Crowfoot (me!) you'll see my llama-training address right away. It's a pretty amateurish, home-made effort, but I was born decades before websites were invented. And my interest is llama training not computers.

Beautifil animal, it looks like a very slender sphinx when it is laying down with its neck fully stretched upwards. :)

Oh come on! You're kidding.

You can teach a horse to sit down in a quarter of an hour and the shuffle? well..maybe another twenty minutes?!*

Thanks for your lovely comments anyway.
