ANIMAL ASSISTED INTERVENTIONS

You know what you need out of an intervention. We know how to integrate a canine or 'dog' theme into the situation.

Our Intervention Management Team assists private organisations, Government Departments, individual practitioners and corporate companies deliver safe and effective leisure, health and educational Animal Assisted Interventions to a wide variety of population groups. 


Competent K9 has an extensive history of designing and facilitating Animal Assisted Interventions throughout Australia.

sensory and/or neurological impairment, persons requiring physical
rehabilitation, individuals residing in short and long term accommodation and persons who have experienced trauma.

Currently we have two programs available for purchase that can be customised to your client group:
  • Anxiety Management - 6 weeks
     
  • Social Skills - 6 weeks

How it works:

The health facility must already have a pet visitation
program in place.

Our team will provide:
  • Weekly lesson plan

    and volunteer dog handler).
  • Training for the primary facilitator to implement the program
