Tiergestützte Therapie mit Hunden

Animal-assisted therapy has been a hot topic for several years and is increasingly being integrated into the psychotherapeutic treatment of individuals. But how exactly can therapy dogs enhance and support psychotherapeutic work? How can animal welfare and human well-being be reconciled? Which dogs are suitable for use as therapy dogs, and how are they prepared for their role?

This specialized book provides a practical and vivid insight into therapeutic work with dogs. In addition to an overview of the fundamentals and the animal welfare and ethical aspects of dog-assisted therapy for humans, specific exercises within the framework of a dog-assisted self-confidence training are described in detail and illustrated with videos, offering inspiration for therapeutic work with humans and animals in various institutions.
