All animals deserve to be in expert and loving hands.

Alpacas cannot be compared to regional animals. They have special needs that we as owners and breeders must meet. You should not find out about these on your own and expose the animals to unnecessary danger.

With a seminar, you will gain specialist knowledge and develop a feeling for the animals and their care. You can also make initial contact with other owners or breeders.

    Mehr dazu 

  • Zucht

    Bei diesem Kurs besprechen wir ausführlich alle Themenbereiche der Zucht. Du erfährst, was während der Trächtigkeit wichtig ist und wie du deine Stute bei der Geburt unterstützen kannst. Außerdem wirst du darauf vorbereitet, was mit einem Fohlen Neues auf dich zukommt und was du bei dessen Aufzucht unbedingt beachten solltest.

  • Praxis-Training

    Das Wichtigste, was wir unseren Tieren beibringen, ist still stehen zu bleiben, wenn wir z.B. die Nägel schneiden möchten oder sie am Kopf berühren für gewisse Maßnahmen (z.B. Augentropfen geben). Hierfür ist es wichtig, dass deine Tiere dir vertrauen. Ich zeige dir gerne, wie du dieses Vertrauen aufbaust.

The best and fastest training method for all animals

Aim of the seminar

This seminar is aimed at anyone interested in alpacas. Whether you are planning to keep alpacas as a hobby or for breeding, you should acquire the necessary basic knowledge to be able to keep your animals in a species-appropriate manner.

We will also carry out practical exercises on handling and caring for alpacas , as there are a number of things to consider when dealing with a flight animal.

It is important that you develop a feeling for keeping alpacas, in addition to the theoretical basics, while also dealing with the animals in practice. Ideally, by the end of the seminar you will have figured out which path you want to take and can start planning.

Aim of the seminar

This seminar is aimed at alpaca owners who have little or no experience with births and foal rearing .

Foaling season is a wonderful and exciting time of the year. Every breeder knows that it is not a given that everything will go smoothly during this time. This makes it all the more important to continue your education - to acquire the necessary knowledge, to exchange ideas with experienced breeders and to benefit from their experiences in order to be as well prepared as possible. So that you too can soon have sweet, healthy foals jumping around in your pasture.

In this seminar we will discuss how you can best manage your herds (stallions, mares, weanlings). It covers breeding criteria , mating , pregnancy and foal rearing .

Alpacas are wonderful animals in so many ways and alpaca breeding is a true passion, as the Incas already recognized!

It is highly recommended to attend the basic seminar beforehand in order to build on the knowledge gained there.

Would you like to keep alpacas or llamas and learn more about handling the animals and gain some practical experience beforehand? Perhaps you already have alpacas and would like to expand your knowledge of handling and training camelids? Then practical training is just right for you!

Alpacas and llamas are flight and distance animals , so there is a lot to consider when handling and training them! If you want calm and relaxed animals that enjoy training and build a trusting relationship with you, we would be happy to show you how it's done.

NO catching and chasing to halter the alpaca! NO kicking, jumping and spitting - from the animal to cut its nails! There are other ways and you will be amazed at how quickly your alpacas or llamas progress.

Appointments: We will coordinate your individual coaching session. Simply fill out our contact form and tell us your preferred date and the type of training.
