About the Llama Learning Center

"The Llama Learning Center is dedicated to teaching llama and alpaca handlers how to communicate more effectively with their charges and to helping llamas and alpacas better understand what their handlers expect from them."
-Becky Smith

Becky has based her llama learning philosophy on the proven method of llama training pioneered by John Mallon. As an ongoing student of John Mallon, Becky has witnessed first-hand all manners of llama dispositions and has gained valuable insight into the llama mindset and how they perceive their environment.

In addition to one-on-one llama lessons, Becky has also had the pleasure of teaching a number of large groups on a range of llama subjects. From leading Adult Education classes in llama husbandry at local schools to serving as a featured presenter at a Greater Appalachian Llama and Alpaca Association conference, Becky is recognized as one of western Maine's leading llama educators.

Becky currently owns seven wonderful llamas of her own and, among other things, enjoys leading them in the local July 4th parade each year.

The Llama Learning Center mission is to teach llamas and their handlers to develop a trusting and rewarding relationship through mutual respect and awareness.
