Alpaca's Wild Reaction to the CREEK! Let's Hope They Can Swim!

[@dennieolson1814]

It was fun watching Rufus and Tina investigating and enjoying the creek, and all of them playing in the sprinkler!

[@hkreations5108]

I think you guys should take the donkey-poodles to the creek on a weekly basis. It was a great bonding session! A perfect way to halter break them...with the reward of a cool belly!

[@katmanning]

Rufus is sooo funny! Glad you took us along. Love the sprinkler!

[@jaimiecrowley6980]

a very nice enrichment day for your alpacas

[@debbybrigham7095]

What a feel good video. Rufos was scared but with your gentle coaxing he had the time of his life.

[@richlovesyou3621]

Dan, your content is nothing short of wonderful as is your entire family. Your values and morals seem well, as well, and I just admire it when you speak of attending church on Sundays. Good job! Keep up the good work! I hope I may meet you and yours some day and go to church with you. God bless you all ... Richard Gray

[@brendasnider7130]

Rufus is hilarious I just love when you show us him. Well all of them. They are too cute. Love your family. ❤😁🙏

[@cliffords.8341]

That was funny watching Rufus being cautious going in the water, then when he got in he's like, this is not bad until he remembered he had a cake in the oven and he had to go. 🎂🐎🐩 Great idea getting the sprinkler to keep them cool.

[@hippymama100]

You are such genuinely kind hearted people. Thanks for sharing.

[@BillByrd74]

I so like your families relationship with Coby. He will be a better man for it. May God continue to bless you family.

[@brendafaithlanelane7914]

I love coby too. Houston you have a true friend for a life x.

[@margimackowski-seif9305]

Jacoby is the strong silent type. He steps back and allows Houston to be center stage because he understands that that is what Houston needs. That is the pure definition of a real friend. I hope that, when he says his prayers at night, Houston remembers to thank God for his good friend, Jacobi.

[@joeb1442]

I think Coby would be a good man no matter what because he has a good family at home. I actually think that Houston will be a better man because he has a friend like Jacoby!

Loved this video! So cute to see the pacas waiting for the boys to use the sprinkler! 😂

[@laurelflint3153]

This was an awesome enrichment walk & dip in the creek!! I have rescued & trained several animals, who have had some issues to work on. To help the alpaca's adjust to, the halter, it might help them, by giving them a high value treat. A special treat that they love. For instance, get the halter out, & just show them, say Halter & Treat, then treat a small amount. Reward with praise, if they're calm only, then Treat & say TREAT. Put halter on face, give more praise & treat. ( Saying Treat & Halter) When it's on fully & they are calm, give larger amount of very special treat. This special high value treat, should only be given, when working with them, & training them. I love Houston, but he needs to be quiet & stay still & out of the way when these "Donkey Poodles" are being trained. For now, I would recommend that ONLY an adult, work with the Donkey Poodles, on new tasks, until they are calmer with the halter process & walk to the creek. I truly love Houston, he just needs to learn how to be QUIET sometimes. Especially when dealing with an animal, who could seriously hurt him or someone else (accidentally). The DP are learning many new things, all at once. I think the Donkey Poodles did awesome, & loved the walk & creek. It was a challenge for Rufus to trust you, Daniel & let go of his fear. I'm so glad that he eventually did!! You have a quiet, calm, but firm disposition & it helped Rufus to do every thing you were asking him to. God bless y'all.

i am 70 years old this month and i still remember the fun it was to be running through our sprinkler in our front yard in Chicago burbs as a kid back in the 1950's.........it use to get so hot and humid, it is a great ''''cool down'''' source.........good job there............the animals appeared to love it...........they just didn't want to say that to you and give you the satisfaction of a ''''thumbs up''''.....................lol............they appear to be as stubborn as a mule...........

Daniel - just a piece of advice - when you have animals on a halter lead- Don’t loop the lead rope in your hand like Houston is doing. Possible to get rope burns or a hand caught in the rope if the animal pulls away. Talking from experience.

[@brianfletcher7942]

Attach some simplisafe cameras toward your animals to view from anywhere. Setup the timer on the sprinkler and run. A sound through the simplisafe camera matched with the timer on the sprinkler so there is a conditioned response to know when they heat the sound is when the sprinkler timer turns on. Fun stuff.
