    How many times does it take to get a llama used to a halter?

    I recommend clicker training. There is a very good website that i learned a lot from by googleing 'clicker training llamas'. My boys are pretty good about being caught and haltered. Just short 10 to 15 minute sessions a couple times per day should make a difference. Hopefully this helps!

I will be getting another soon, but for right...
