Anotace

V originále

Research results from the fact, that dogs positively affect human health on the mental, physical and social part. The therapy is suitable as an additional psychotherapeutic method for the work with patients who have communication problems, motoric problems and mental retardation. Research represented motional and relaxation exercises, which was realised as a part of the regular lessons for 3 months. The research was designed as case studies. Participants with similar diagnosis was observed once a week for three months. Part of the lessons was: positioning, relaxation, training of motoric skills by kinetic cubes, combing, smoothing, feeding. In the end was evaluated the changes of the rate of the reactions, punctuality in action with kinetic cubes. Progress was notable on social level as progressional closer contact with dog and better spontaneity. Mental concentration stayed very low. Canistherapy as a psychotherapeutic method may be supporting in the process of developing motoric, mental and social skills for children with mental retardation.
