More Llama walking

I took the llamas out again, individually, for a walk around the 'neighborhood'.
It was very easy to get them haltered this time, especially with Catlinite, who usually balks and runs around the pen several times before allowing me to halter him.

I used some of the techniques in the Camelidynamics book I've been reading, along with calm and steady breathing. Surprisingly, it really does work. I took Cataleya out first, after grooming her (not as easy as the walking and haltering. But by tying her to a pole with her head low, she wasn't able to get her head up and back and give me a wet nasty spit).

She was very curious and calm, even when we walked out to the busy state road at the end of our neighborhood road. I was able to keep her calm even when loud cars would zoom by. Many people waved at us, too. And as we were walking back to the house, a car drove up and asked if she could show her 2 young children my llama.
Of course, I was happy to show off one of my llamas and to socialize them, too.

Cataleya was unfazed by it all, and very calm and friendly to the woman and her kids. When one of our neighbors started walking down the road, with her dogs, from the trails nearby, Cataleya hummed that it was time to go.
She wasn't upset by the dogs, but she didn't really want to stick around, so we headed back home and I placed her in her pen, where Catlinite was nervously awaiting her arrival.

I quickly got him haltered and took him for a walk. He balked a little as we walked away from the barn, but once we got out of the pasture, he was very curious.
He's also a little more 'high-strung' than Cataleya while walking, becoming startled easier. But he recovers quickly without trying to bolt, thankfully.

We made it to the busy state road with no trouble, just some nervousness. Catlinite's white wool really stands out at dusk and I noticed that people were taking a second-take as they drove by. Probably not sure what kind of animal we had there. haha!

Afterwards we walked back to the barn and he went quietly back in his pen and I easily unhaltered him (sometimes he twists his head around trying to shake free from the halter, instead of waiting for me to slide it off).
Both llamas were very good, so I rewarded them with an extra handful of grain in their buckets.
