Therapy Dog Training – European Standards
Description: The aim of the project is to work out the standards of dog therapist training. Creating the European certification system is an innovative and unique project, which may considerably enhance the quality of services, as well as spread and promote the very idea of canine therapy. Among various types of therapy for the disabled, dog therapy has become very popular in Europe. Dog assisted activities are also deployed for educational purposes by teachers and in hospitals by doctors. Dogs are also present in prisons and youth detention centers, where they support the reserialization process. In spite of a large scope of use of these animals, there are no homogeneous standards concerning dog therapist training or therapy dogs’ work.
