THE DOGS…
It is self evident that over the centuries the dog has been of great help to mankind. He can be many things. He is:
- a family pet
-a hunting dog
-a guide dog
-a guard or police dog
-a sheep dog
-a sledge-dog
-a mountain rescue dog
-a "carer" for the sick, the mentaly or physicaly challenged...
Man's best friend is used by many corporations and organisations, they have taken part in military manouvers and even in aerospatial activities ( Laïka ).
Dogs can help difficult youngsters re-discover the affection and love of life that they have lost. Antidote against melancholy and stress, the dogs will help them to control their gestes and to be calm. The youngsters will learn to observe and respect others, the dogs helping build relationships.
Scientific studies show that dogs lower arterial tension creating a sense of calm, reducing anguish and agressivity.
The well trained dog, by his calm and freindly nature will help create or re-create the happy times that a disturbed child or an elderly person may have known in the past but since lost.
This newfound relationship with the animal will be a reference point to past experiences.
Our association has dogs trained for this sort of work, we propose made to mesure help which corresponds to your needs . If prefered we can come to your home or workplace (retirement homes, schools (classic or specialized), re-educational centers, associations etc).
Our work in schools helps teach children to behave in a reasonable way with dogs under various situations, our goal is to reduce the number of accidents by dog bites by preventional information.
Our work in retirement homes helps residents keep in touch with reality by using different exercises that help their capacity of attention and memory, and also helps keep them mobile.
Two Ragdoll cats are also availble for work in old people's homes.
We can welcome you in our ideal setting (wide open spaces and covered activity places) .
The visits and animations that we propose stimule the senses, the mobility, the expression and the memory of each person.
Our objectifs are :
-to create and maintain the contact in a confident relationship (responsability, constance, respect…)
-working together with a method based on positive force (coherant attitude, concentration, self control…)
-to learn the limits (dare to say NON and YES, having coherant verbal and non verbal language..)
-to experiment separation (attachement, detachement, meeting again.)
-to establish or re-establish links with your emotions (happiness, sadness, fright etc.).
-to transmit your knowledge to other participants (initiative, valorization, recognition…)
To establish and/or developpe better communication between parents and children using the dog as a go between.
For any other questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
