Canine-Assisted Intervention Specialist Certificate Program, IHAC

“What I have loved is the diversity of the student body and the incredibly rich, brave, and honest contributions of each participant. I also love that students routinely share how impactful the course has been in their relationships with their dogs.” Read this new web article to learn more about the CAIS program!

The Canine-Assisted Intervention Specialist (CAIS) Certificate is one of the newest offerings in the IHACPro professional development suite of programs, and it has quickly become very popular! Professor Philip Tedeschi spoke with us about why this program is so beneficial. “It seems to me that the biggest benefit offered to students who participate fully in the CAIS program is the ability to both understand and more accurately communicate with dogs...Dogs are involved these days in increasingly complicated and wide range of complex settings. The geographical diversity and professional interdisciplinary nature of our students offers a vibrant learning environment,” shared Tedeschi.
