On 30 may, 6 and 13june 2007, we entered the Prison of Basauri (Vizcaya) with our dogs Txispa and Nika. This activity belongs to a big project concerning "Animal Assisted Activities for people with risk of social exclusion" that we develop together with Bidesari.
For the 8 persons that participated in our little course, the experience was very positive, new and stimulating. The most funny part were the training exercices in wich all the participants worked with enthusiasm. The presence of the dogs in the prison was also stimulating for the staff. From the first day Txispa and Nika were very happy as they were receiving lots of food rewards.
The subprincipal of the Prison said that the activity was "very positive", as well as all the participants.
It also was a very good experience for us.
