Three Day CAMELIDynamics Clinic in Banner Elk North Carolina
There is no substitute for seeing CAMELIDynamics in action...
...taught by the person who invented it! Marty has traveled over a million miles around the world teaching her brand of animal understanding. It isn’t enough to have a mastery of the material, a teacher must be able to excite and inspire. Marty is exceptional at both. She uses training aids she developed herself, along with a variety of role playing exercises designed to help owners really understand their wooly buddies.
There is nothing like feeling what it is like to wear a halter or to be led, to give you a whole different point of view. Have fun, be inspired and leave with a higher level of skill and understanding. This three day event is designed for all skill levels and includes her very popular "Show like a Pro" day. If you have been to a clinic in the past* consider coming back for a refresher and see for yourself how the method is constantly evolving.
Day 1: Introduction to Camelidynamics and the Science of Behavior
Day 2: The CAMELIDynamics Approach to Herd Management - Have more fun AND get more done!
* If you have attended a two day clinic in the past, email Marty at marty@camelidynamics.com with the date and location to receive a substantial discount on your attendance at this event.
