On saturday 21 april we made our first session of AAA with a group of persons from the prison of Nanclares who could go out of the prison for a week end thanks to the association Bidesari.

This activity (in total 3 hours) was divided in two parts:

• In the first part, in a classroom, with a computer and a projector, we could make a short introduction to the assistance dogs and the positive training. We showed some videos about assistance dogs but also about free style and introduction to training. The assistants were very interested and they asked lots of questions. They were very surpried to know that laws donīt always give free access to assistance dogsīusers.
• In the second part, we went to the garden and did some work with the dogs: an obedience exhibition and some habilities. After this we showed how to teach a dog to sit down or to lie down, making the assistants understand how our body language is important and how bt help the dog. Some persons wanted to make some practiocal work with Txista while Nika was doing her favorite exercice: to investigate the garden and being pet.
  Finally we asked to a lot of questions as a big part of the participants had a dog.
