Canistherapy (sessions with a dog)

Canistherapy is a form of therapy involving specially trained dogs and a psychologist. The dog undergoes specific training and certification. The sessions are usually conducted in a playful manner. They can be individual or group sessions. Dogs are more immediate and capture the child’s attention. With their help, we can teach children many things. For example, not to be afraid of dogs and how to interact with them correctly. We have often encountered situations where even some adults struggle to communicate with dogs. The language of our body, the ability to establish pre-contact, understand the signals that the animal gives us, understand our own boundaries and those of others – all of this can be learned in our sessions.
