This eight-week, hands-on course applies the concepts learned in PAT I to working with animals and prepares students for the internship. The family therapy pet and guardian (owner) work together to become acclimated to the sights, sounds and situations encountered in agencies, hospitals and schools, including wheelchairs, school bells, elevators and stairs, as well as practice approaching a patient in bed. The class includes training in pet therapy skills, basic obedience, and lectures on animal behavior, and how to “read” the pet. There will be a mid-term as well as a final competency evaluation.   Prerequisite: PDV 110 Pet Assisted Therapy I: Family Therapy Pets - The Ethical Foundation of PAT
