Do you know why therapy animals are used in healthcare?

Having a friendly animal nearby causes a calming effect, which positively affects blood pressure and heart rate. Furry companions also boost endorphin production and even help healing processes. A successfully trained therapy animal is an amazing healthcare asset.

And you can be the hero preparing those amazing assets.

Do you love animals? Do you want to use that love to help people? Then Animal Assisted Therapy is the right path for you! Learn how to choose and train a therapy animal. The two of you will be out there helping people and winning hearts in no time. Sign up today!

Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.

I work in a big hospital and we’re always looking for ways to make life easier on long-time patients. I bumped into this course and was immediately interested. After completing this course, I want to introduce therapy animals more than ever at our hospital. Great stuff.

I love animals so much, I wanted to make a living out of my passion and help people at the same time. Thanks to this course, I am now working independently with animals. Every day is different and I love seeing the smile on people’s faces.
