A therapy animal trainer can train both active and passive therapy dogs.
As a Therapy animal handler/trainer you will be a paid professional. The training takes place over several days and consists of various modules. You can find more information on www.toscanzahoeve.be.
Enter the keyword “therapie” in the diary. The cost of the workshops that take place in Toscanzahoeve are partly for the benefit of Therapiedier vzw and their therapy animals!
Therapiedier vzw only recognizes professionals who have graduated from a recognized training center. Therapiedier vzw bases this, inter alia, on the lists provided by apbct and kahot regarding the recognition for vocational training. More info on the site www.kahot.be
You can also train other animal species e.g. cat, rabbit, parrot … then you search ‘animal trainer’ as opposed to ‘dog trainer’.
