Marty McGee Bennett

Marty McGee Bennett’s first llama jumped off the back of a pickup truck and into her heart in 1981. Since then Marty has devoted her professional life to the well being of llamas and alpacas and the education of camelid enthusiasts. Marty brings a variety of experience and qualifications to her work with camelids, including a B.S. degree in Animal Behavior. Marty’s combination of TTEAM (the work developed by Linda Tellington-Jones), with the principals of balance and leverage and a second sense with both camelids and people make “Camelidynamics” the world’s most popular, and enduring training/handling system for camelids.

Her clinics, books and videos have helped thousands of llama and alpaca owners more fully understand, appreciate and enjoy this magical animal. Marty’s most book “The Camelid Companion” published in 2001 has received rave reviews in publications worldwide. Conducting hundreds of clinics in North America and around the world have kept Marty on the road for much of the past 25 years. Marty’s work with camelids is popular with owners and veterinarians alike. She has taught the principles of animal handling to veterinarians and at veterinary schools around the county.

Most recently using the principles that work with llamas, alpacas, dogs and horses...all animals-- Marty is now helping people with their own personal animal... their bodies. With animals as inspiration Marty's newest book on weight maintenance and balance "The Problem with Weight is NOT Losing it! is helping readers understand the dynamics of maintaining a healthy weight in a way that is both simple and easy!

Marty her husband Brad and their family of four-leggeds have a farm in Bend, Oregon that is the home of the Camelidynamics Training Center and the base of operations for the Camelidynamics Guild. For more information about the guild, Marty, clinics and equipment log on to www.camelidynamics.com
