The current situation in testing of dogs and handlers for animal assisted activities and therapies in the Czech Republic and potential changes in the field
Original language description
Animal Assisted Activities and AnimalAssisted Therapy are becoming increasingly popular in the Czech Republic. Different organizations prepare their own tests in order to train and allow handlers to perform AAAAAT. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of this testing and the skills of handlers officially entitled to perform AAAAAT. The study mainly focused on the duration on the theoretical training, the length of implementation of AAAAAT and specific knowledge on welfare and laws to protect animals against cruelty. Results on the respondents answers to most of the questions varied greatly. In consequence, a proposal to divide the testing examination for AAA and for AAT is made in this article, due to the significant theoretical and practical difference of AAT implementation.
