Lüszi, the lovely irish setter bears calmly to get her mouth tied with a ribbon and another one on her tail. Though previously she was already drawn around and a scarf was put below, above and next to her and also had to squat in a circle. This dog is from a world famous kennel and also owes a Hungarian Champion title.

This time the star of dog therapy is Lüszi. Lot of studies exist about the utility of this kind of therapy and life proved: the everydays of the sick, the oldie, the ones struggling with agony, having problems in school or mentally retarded can be made nicer and easier with a dog, which also can help in developing their capabilities.

According to Lívia Bognár therapeutist dog therapy helps in developing communication and movement skills, futhermore in learning the directions and colours. Lüszi doesn’t express her opinion, handles everyone equally and gives absolute love to everyone, at the same time calm and emphatetic – lot of things supporting her. She obeyes also for hand movements so this method can be adopted successfully also by less communicative children. The kids are more open and motivated thank to animals. Therapy dogs should comply with a lot of requirements – regarding health and character – as well as the therapeutist.

As we got to know from Lívia, they already have results. Children have got to like Lüszi in a short period, even those ones who were averse from her at the beginning. Other colleagues also admit the efficiency of this method and in case of need for continuing, another dog can be the part of the group.
