Canine therapy in Kyiv

Canitherapy is a new method of rehabilitation for Ukraine using specially trained and selected dogs. From the Latin canis – a dog. So, canitherapy is therapy using dogs. The dog acts as a partner of the person with whom it works.

Canitherapy classes are conducted by Chuprun Natalia Volodymyrivna – a specialist in dog and cat behavior, a canitherapist with 7 years of experience.

What is “canine therapy” at HAB Vet and who is it for?

Canine therapy will be useful for everyone who needs a positive experience of communicating with dogs, who is interested in new ways to solve rehabilitation, unloading, educational, adaptation and behavioral correction tasks.

A psychologist together with a dog can quickly, productively and as safely as possible help solve communication difficulties, work through fears, insomnia, increase motivation for learning and development of children, adolescents and adults, and also simply give a good mood.

The number of necessary classes is determined by our specialist on an individual basis.

After canine therapy, you are guaranteed a good mood, a switch to positive thoughts, relaxation, and with regular work – also a gradual improvement in the quality of life.
