Introduction: Canistherapy (dog as a means of treatment) includes various activities, the goal of which is to support the psychological and somatic functions of a patient to rehabilitate and treat them. Foreign studies have proven that dogs have a positive influence on fine motor skills, gross motor skills, movement, and motivation for therapies, anxiety, depression, socialization and cognitive functions. Dogs are usually used as cotherapists or canistherapists’ associates in AAT (Animal Assisted Therapy) and AAA (Animal Assisted Activity). Patient contact and communication with animals (giving them treats and walking them) help to stimulate and activate patients with various diseases and impairments. Direct contact with a dog provides relaxation and a feeling of peace. It also evokes the feeling of sharing and offers the opportunity to change from difficult to light conversation topics. Goal: The goal of the research was to verify the effect of contact with dogs on blood pressure and how this evokes relaxation in twelve healthy adults. Materials and methods: Twelve adults (five men and seven women) underwent a thirty-minute intervention, which consisted of patients lying on their back for twenty minutes. The patients’ upper body was in direct contact with a dog. This was followed by a ten-minute monitoring without the dog. Ten people showed a decrease in blood pressure, and nine showed a decrease in pulse frequency. Conclusion: It is possible to say that the monitored individuals became relaxed due to the contact with a dog. In all cases, the therapy can be assessed as positive, because most clients showed a decrease in the monitored parameters. A systolic pressure decrease was observed in ten out of twelve clients. A diastolic pressure decrease was observed in ten clients, while one client showed unchanged values. Pulse frequency was decreased in nine out of twelve cases, and pressure decrease was observed in 83.3%. Decreased pulse frequency was 75% successful. All the monitored clients said that the therapy was pleasant, calming and that they would happily repeat it. A positive attitude toward animals, in this case dogs, is the basis for successful results of this alternative method.

This article clarifies how animals may be of help in education – an approach called animal assisted education (AAE). AAE offers an improved and more interesting way of teaching. It also makes the process of education more effective and attractive to students. AAE may facilitate better communication between the students as well as the teachers; and, in general, establish better relationships in the classroom. This method of education is becoming increasingly popular. It is important to understand in which ways and how exactly animals may assist students and educators to achieve their goals. Therefore, the goal of this article is to summarize how AAE may be implemented in schools and what benefits may arise from its use. In general, there are many different ways to include animals in children’s education; whether this simply be the presence of the animal in class, letting children read to the animal, or spending time in the outdoors while engaging in a physical activity. Importantly, AAE may also be used in teaching children with special needs. Dogs are most commonly involved in AAE, but notably, it is also possible to use small mammals, farm animals, or cats. Ultimately, the inclusion of AAE is dependent on the creativity and determination of the teacher, and, undoubtedly, the cooperation and support from the school management.

Choroby přenosné ze zvířete na člověka jsou stále středem zájmu a stranou nemůže zůstat ani oblast zooterapie. Problém má dvě části. Tu první tvoří skutečné nebezpečí, které se může při kontaktu člověka a zvířete vyskytnout, a tu druhou řada pověr a neznalostí, s kterými se stále potýkáme. Zooterapeut by měl mít základní informace o tom, co opravdu hrozí a co ne, a měl by také být schopen vysvětlit to laikům.
Diseases transmissible from animals to humans are ever in the focus of interest, and the field of zootherapy, they also cannot be kept aside. The problem includes two parts. The first part is the actual danger, which can occur during the contact of man and animal and the second one includes a number of superstitions and ignorance, which are ever being encountered. The zootherapist should possess basic information about actual danger and he/she should also be able to explain the danger to lay public.
