Clicker trained llama: his newest off-lead movements to signals

This is Toby, showing some of his old, and a couple of his new, off-lead movements to hand and verbal signals. ( The new ones are: "Have a scratch" and "Kneel")

Most of this training has been accomplished using a clicker and a few yummy treats!

You will note that the clicker is absent in this video as the behaviour is already learned. The treats should also be absent but, well, Toby loves 'em and I'm soft hearted. But they are not now necessary.

Please note: this video was filmed in an open field; Toby is free to go off and graze whenever he wants to. Maybe it's the treats that are retaining him, but there is some lovely, new grass in this field.
