They are not only cuddle dogs but also true therapy animals.<br \/>\nThe dog handlers are trained in the fields of psychology, behavior, cynology, first aid, etc.<\/p>\n<p><em>Due to practical reasons, we only work with dogs in schools. During our individual sessions and at our own location, we work with other animals, e.g. parrots, horses, and cats.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The program lasts 1 to 1.5 hours per group and is structured as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Introduction and presentation<\/li>\n<li>Game to get acquainted with how to interact with dogs<\/li>\n<li>Guidelines for interacting with dogs<\/li>\n<li>Practice with a hand puppet<\/li>\n<li>Practice with real dogs<\/li>\n<li>Distributing workbooks and \u2018diplomas\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The educational lessons for primary education or BUSO are given in schools and associations, with the aim of explaining and improving the child-dog bond.<\/p>\n<p>The project assumes that bite incidents can be prevented if children know more about dogs and their behavior and learn to better interact with dogs. \u201cWhat is learned in youth is hard to forget.\u201d.<br \/>\nThrough practical education, we ensure that children can interact more responsibly with dogs (including ignoring dogs). This can lead to a reduction in fear of dogs and therefore also the number of bite incidents. Moreover, education contributes to children enjoying dogs more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We provide a customized program for difficult teenagers, children with learning disabilities, children with autism, or toddlers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-85\" src=\"http:\/\/therapiedier.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/kind.png\" alt=\"kind\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Contact us if you are interested in this service at <a href=\"mailto:info@therapiedier.be\">info@therapiedier.be<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Also possible<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Leash dogs<br \/>\nProject dog massage &amp; trailing with your dog<\/p>\n<p>to be arranged individually depending on the number of dogs and the size of the group.
