This course is designed for those who wish to gain a basic understanding of Animal-Assisted Interventions/Animal-Assisted Services. The course is developed by researchers and practitioners from several countries, and the narrator for this course is Dr. Aubrey H. Fine.
 
The course will provide you with a fundamental knowledge of the health-promoting effects that animals can have on humans. You will also gain a basic understanding of the human-dog relationship. Additionally, you will receive an introduction to dog training, canine language, and the risk factors to consider when working with our dogs in animal-assisted services.
 
Here's what a previous course participant had to say about the course:
"I’ve used to work in AAA as a volunteer for two years. But this course gave me a nice and needed background – now I KNOW (not just guess...) how a good intervention should look like and how to ensure my dogs’ welfare. It was exciting to wait for the next lesson to be unlocked! I definitely recommend the training!" - Marie Olsen
 
The course is structured to be adaptable to your schedule, allowing you to watch the lectures at your convenience.
 
The course consists of the following lectures (6 hours of theory):
Introduction
Risk Management
Learning
