Rhodes River Ranch

Consider joining us for an education packed weekend of learning and fun with Nationally recognized camelid trainer John Mallon. 

For many years, John has been considered the standard in camelid training.  He has spoken at many of the camelid conferences through the years and done hundreds of clinics all over the world.

The "Mallon Method" of training camelids has been used by such respected breeders as Kay Patterson-Sharpnack of Hinterland Llamas.  John's method of training babies without over handling them is a staple for many longtime breeders in the industry. 

John is getting older like most of us and is not traveling near as much.  It will be getting harder and harder to gain this valuable information.  His last clinic in this area was over 8 years ago!  Do not miss this opportunity to learn how to efficiently train and handle your camelids.  Please email with any questions you may have.

Level I “The Foundation” July 23, 2021

(Clinic is filled, email to be added to wait list)

The Level I Clinic is an intensive eight-hour day, packed with hands-on applications, eye-opening demonstrations, and thought-provoking insights. This foundation clinic comes very highly recommended by “old-timers,” newcomers and veterinarians alike, and is guaranteed to bring about a positive change in your relationship with your llamas or alpacas. This clinic will make you a trainer.
  • Learn the philosophy and principles of training, teaching and learning.
  • Learn how to apply these principles in ways that make sense-to you and your llamas or alpacas.
  • Learn to make a 5-second plan — it guarantees success and makes anything possible.
  • Learn how to tie the lifesaving quick-release knot.
  • Learn safe, relaxed leg handling; quiet,  cooperative haltering; leading on a slack rope.
  • Learn why  early  desensitization  of  crias  is  crucial  to  the animal’s development, and how to perform the procedure.
  • Learn with “hands-on” experience — questions and answers — tips and insights — help with specific problems.

This is where it all begins — learn the psychology of prey animals — what makes them “tick,” in order to be able to work with them in ways they can understand - safely and peacefully. By working from the “inside out,” you will learn how to help your llama overcome his natural fears.

“Exhibition” Round Pen Clinic July 24, 2021

Unlimited space available!


“How can anyone be that good with llamas or alpacas?”
This is an all day exhibition of John “doing his magic” with several animals, turning their unacceptable habits into acceptable behaviors, all while explaining what’s going on to the crowd. He has kept audiences on the edge of their seats while he quickly transforms the most unruly animal into a gentle, willing partner — quietly, safely, and with a lot of humor.

John can take a critter from resistant to cooperative in almost no time at all. This is a mind-blowing performance and, at the same time, very informative. These exhibitions are something unique in the camelid world.
​
John’s aim is to astound and inspire, to amaze and entertain, and to show people what is really possible with llamas and alpacas…once you know what makes them tick.

Level II “Continuing Education” July 25, 2021

(Clinic is filled, email to be added to wait list)

This clinic builds upon previous experience and takes you beyond the basics and into more advanced training.
  • Learn why the less you do, the more you get.
  • Learn to teach your llama “Back”, “Stand”, and “Sidepass.”
  • Learn how to safely handle ears, face, and tail — without having to use a halter or lead.
  • Learn how to safely trim toenails, the most neglected piece of husbandry in the llama industry.
  • Learn verbal cues, as well as hand and foot signals.
  • Teach your llama to load on a slack lead, and how to calmly and safely step out the same way.
  • Learn to train your llama to control itself under any and all situations — shows, parades, breedings,etc.
  • Learn why “manners” around other llamas or alpacas are so very important to all.
  • Learn the basics of conformation analysis for breeding and purchasing decisions.

Prerequisite: Level I or Exhibition/Round Pen attendance is a prerequisite for this clinic.
