Název v původním jazyce

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

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Animal-assisted Activities (AAA) and Animal-assisted Therapy (AAT) are becoming increasingly popular in the Czech Republic. Different organisations prepare their own tests in order to train and allow handlers to perform AAA/AAT. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of this testing and the skills of handlers officially entitled to perform AAA/AAT. The study mainly focussed on the duration on the theoretical training, the length of implementation of AAA/AAT and specific knowledge on welfare and laws to protect animals against cruelty. 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.
