I never woulda thunk that llamas would make good therapy animals! How about that!
What a great article :)

I can see llamas as good therapy animals - really BIG ones, but good. They are very gentle and graceful animals, especially those well bred and well trained.
The one video clip shows obstacle course training (with the 3 PVC pipe bars and colored streamers). It teaches llamas to be around crazy stuff and not startle - course have helium balloons, bending and ducking, loud sounds, and walking up ramps ridges, and on teeter totters etc.
Our llama Stafany competed in that with her previous girl who showed her..and she is amazingly bomb proof.
Fun article!
