Description:
Specialist training in working with alpacas and llamas for mental, physical and social healthcare professionals and owners. Our CPDSO-accredited courses will not prescribe for you how to do your animal interactions but give you an understanding of the serious nature of the undertaking and the wide-ranging issues that need to be considered before entering this field. This will include how to develop the handler-animal relationship to ensure that interventions are safe, ethical and appropriate. Consideration will be given to programme creation, legal requirements, animal welfare issues, animal and client selection, health and safety and activity design.
