[The Network] 2-Day Animal Assisted Therapy Workshop: October 1st & 2nd

Hi all-

I am contacting this group on the behalf of Professional Therapy Dogs of Colorado (PTDC). We believe strongly in the healing powers of the human-animal bond, and it is our mission to support mental health professionals who are dedicated to safely and ethically incorporating animal-assisted work into their practice. Unlike many other animal-assisted therapy organizations, we do not expect “perfect dog”; instead, we emphasize a goodness of fit between the knowledge and skills of human and canine co-therapists, and the qualities of the environment in which they work. Our registered human-canine co-therapist teams work in a diversity of settings, including schools, private practices, residential facilities, community-based work, and much more.

To this end, we offer two-day educational workshops, in addition to consultation/supervision opportunities. Workshop attendees can expect to learn more about the ethics involved with animal-assisted practice, creative interventions for wide variety of populations, dog behavior/training tips and tricks, and much more! Our next 2-day workshop will be on October 1st and 2nd, 2016, from 9:30AM-4:30PM in Aurora, CO. 

To learn more about costs, what's included, and/or to register, please visit our website: http://www.professionaltherapydogsofcolorado.com/. In an effort to keep trainings small and personalized to the needs of each attendee, seats are limited!

Thank you so much for the work you all do! We hope to see you there!
