Produktbeschreibung

Informed by research and grounded in critical discussions of theory and practice, Optimizing Therapy Dog-Handler Team Welfare challenges readers to explore the complexities inherent in, and arising from, practices that optimize welfare for therapy dog-handler teams.

Each chapter begins with a case study that elucidates the complexities of canine-assisted interventions and invites readers to consider welfare from multiple perspectives.
