Once you begin using wands for herding and sorting animals you will not believe that you could have done it without them. Wands not only extend your reach but don’t frighten the animals. In a very short time the animals understand that the way you use the wands is really a language. They begin to understand where you want them to do and they go! Using wands when you sort animals means that the animals respond to the signals you give with the wands and aren’t simply jumping away from your outstretched arms.
Using the wands for herding and sorting sets the stage for using them as leading signals. You can teach your animals not to run past you and help him learn where you want them to stand. Leading with wands is an excellent way to teach your animal the skills he or she needs for the show ring.
The Catching wand (and herding wand) is purpose designed and manufactured in the USA! It is a specialized tool invented by Marty (CAMELIDynamics) to aid in bringing the catch rope over the head and back to the handler all without having to get closer than arm’s length. The wand is 4 feet long, and very stiff giving the handler full control over the rope. When used with halter training rope/catch rope you can teach an animal that it is safe for you to approach. Using this method for catching is the centrepiece of CAMELIDynamics and is THE BEST WAY to teach frightened animals that it is safe to be around humans.
Try a wand you won’t ever want to be without it! Buy one of each style and you will have two wands for herding and sorting, one for use with the catch rope and one for specialized leading.
Debbie –
These are gold when trying to work or sort stock by yourself. The animals remain calm, you have the extra ‘width’ to bring a mob in and it makes sorting out sooo much easier, highly recommend
