This post is about Atreyu, my first #cria. She greeted Littlefoot, but then #spit on him. Her in that shed before a selfie--she was squirming so I didn't get a good smile. But I managed to get her! She trusts me because of #haltertraining. She looks exactly like her sire. #alpacas

Littlefoot went on a short walk on the south side of the barn and said hi to aunties and dogs through the fence.

Littlefoot took a walk around the main pen to see the aunties and for a quick visit with momma. He hasn't had contact with her since we built her pen in the opposite corner.

Thanks to taxes, i forgot to post last night😅🫠
Here's Littlefoot's walk video though. I try to walk them in weird places so they learn not to be scared of equipment or sounds, etc. Gates are still terrifying lol.

Littlefoot actually made a huge circle around the windmill for me and met Jason in the grass. He was much more eager to go back though 😋

Maya has been itching to go on Littlefoot's walks. She was 10 mo old when we got her and was bottle raised, so she's really into human-time and maybe a little jealous of Littlefoot. She was really excited 😆

2 videos from Littlefoot's walk today. He's getting more confident. It helps that he's had so much contact with me for other reasons, as he already trusts me. All total it was less than 5 minutes. #alpacas #alpacacria #haltertraining

He's learning really fast! I'm not putting much pressure on that lead. I really love halter training because it's a chance to really deepen that trust. Go Littlefoot!

Littlefoot took some good steps on the halter today and aunty Maya was there to cheer him on. She's always been such a helper🥰
I employ a lot of herd Dynamics when i pick group mates.

The same Cria nose to nose with a brown alpaca

The white Suri alpaca wearing a red plaid dog coat while other alpacas of different colors look on from the other side of a fence

More from later in the day. Littlefoot wasn't happy at all about the halter, but calmed down with Maya's help.
I got Draco a coat specifically for him. I think he looks great, and i think the other boys might be jealous 😉 it's a coat for a great Dane lol
