Practicing of Canine Therapy in the Context of Physiotherapy
PORUBSKÁ, Ines
This bachelor thesis explores the practical application of canine therapy within physiotherapy practice and its impact on rehabilitation and therapeutic processes. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to explore how physiotherapists are involved in canine therapy and its process. A sub-objective was to find out what is the role of the physiotherapist during the practice of canine therapy and what are the benefits of this method from their perspective. In the theoretical part, I describe chapters such as canine therapy and its forms and methods of practice and what are its general objectives. I then describe physiotherapists and their job description and how the fields of canine therapy and physiotherapy are interrelated. The methodology consisted in the choice of qualitative research method, semi-structured interview technique and data processing was carried out by open coding method. I divided the results into categories and presented them using diagrams. The results show that physiotherapists are involved in guiding and handling the patient during canine therapy and are dedicated to the patient during canine therapy. In doing so, they use physiotherapy methods and participate in the consultation of goals. They perceive the benefits both physically and psychologically for different groups of clients. Members of the multidisciplinary team are also involved in the process, either for supervision, insight or to provide holistic care. The findings of this thesis could provide valuable information for physiotherapists and health and social service professionals when exploring the benefits and use of canine therapy as part of comprehensive rehabilitation care.

Výchova a výcvik asistenčních psů - přístupy a metody
LAZÁRKOVÁ, Aneta
The bachelor thesis deals with the education and training of assistance and guide dogs, especially their pretraining. For this area are most often used breeds of retrievers, purposeful crosses and to a lesser extent also shepherd breeds - especially border collies. Approaches and methods that can be used when working with these dogs are presented. The actual observation focuses on the individual stages of the pre-training of future assistance and guide dogs and describes in detail the methodology of their training. A questionnaire survey was used to analyse the success of the pre-training of 35 dogs, including an assessment of their temperament. These dogs were monitored for sex, breed, origin (with or without pass of origin), success in completing training and reasons for removal from the program. The actual progress of the pre-training was monitored and recorded for four puppies between January 2022 and completion in March 2024. These were specifically a Border Collie, a Flat Coated Retriever, a Golden Retriever and a Goldendoodle. The Golden Retriever was the most used breed for assistance and guide dog training, while the Golden Retriever was also the breed with the highest number of dogs removed from training. Only 29 % of dogs successfully completed training and were handed over. The most common reasons for removal from training were inappropriate personality traits, heart and eye findings and radiographic findings on the musculoskeletal system. Of the four puppies studied, only the Flat Coated Retriever completed complete training as an assistance dog.

HOLEMÁ, Hana
The bachelor thesis deals with the topic of canistherapy. The theoretical part defines the concept of canistherapy, the subject of its research, target groups and users of this treatment. The thesis defines the aims, forms and methods, as well as its risks. It briefly describes the abilities, skills and suitability of the canistherapy dog and deals with the prevention of its abuse. The practical part also advocates a survey. The main aim was to find out what kind of relationship the dog and its owner, as handler, have with each other. It also looks at which dogs are suitable for canistherapy and their mental and physical health. Last but not least, what effect the contact with the dog has on the client and what are the possibilities to prevent abuse of the therapy dog.

Dog-assisted education for preschool children
PUMPROVÁ, Jana
Canistherapy has a wide range of applications and is used in social, health care and educational sectors. We can say with certainty that the concept of canistherapy is known to the general public, but the understanding of more specific approach of AAI is unfortunately distorted. The aim of the bachelor's thesis focuses on the methods of applying the AAE to children of preschool age and what impact has the presence of a dog as a part of education of children in preschool. As part of the research methods, qualitative research methods were used, specifically participant observation, semi-structured interview, secondary data analysis and photo documentation. The results of this thesis confirm that canistherapy, specifically the AAE method, is very widely used in practice, but its correct recognition does not occur. Many preschools are very interested in canistherapy, but unfortunately as a one-time experience to secure diversification of the educational process, although its use in the field of therapy has huge possibilities. The result of research shows a large deficit in the awareness amongst preschool teaching staff. Based on the results of the research investigation, a methodological practise for one-time and regular canistherapy was proposed with a focus on the AAE method, and at the same time an information leaflet was compiled, intended specifically for preschool teachers.

PETRÁKOVÁ, Vendula
Canistherapy is an activity in which a dog has a positive effect on a person. It is a relatively new form of activation in retirement homes providing these people with many experiences that lead to the enrichment of their days. This bachelor thesis is focused on canistherapy in a retirement home. The goal of the thesis was to evaluate the benefit of canistherapy as a method in a retirement home. The thesis consists of two parts, a theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part I describe zootherapy. It also characterizes canistherapy, its forms, methods, the goal of canistherapy tests, contraindications of canistherapy and further it includes canistherapy in seniors. Positioning is not neglected and in the last part there is the activation of seniors, which is an integral part of working with seniors in residential facilities. The practical part consists of qualitative research. The method of semi-structured interview consisted of 9 questions was used to obtain data. The research group consisted of 6 communication partners from two retirement homes, who regularly participated in canistherapy for at least one year. The obtained data are evaluated by the method of open coding with subsequent categorization. The results of the research have shown that canistherapy is a beneficial method in all areas of the client's life, where I included the physical, social, and emotional aspect. The greatest benefit has been found on the emotional components of personality. I believe that this thesis can serve as an information material for future social workers or even for future canistherapists who would like to deal with this method in the future.
