Les bienfaits de la zoothérapie à l'école | Actualités | L'Information MONT-JOLI - Les élèves et les enseignants du programme CFER (centre de formation en entreprise et récupération) de l’école du Mistral sont sortis enchantés de leur expérience en zoothérapie. Durant deux mois, Mélina Gagnon, une éducatrice spécialisée de la Commission scolaire des Phares, également technicienne en zoothérapie, a animé des ateliers mettant en présence son chien Lucky. « Les ateliers portaient sur l’estime, la confiance et l’affirmation de soi. On transmet aussi des connaissances générales sur les animaux, sur les signes d’apaisement, et on travaille sur les émotions. Les jeunes voient comment leurs propres émotions peuvent influencer le comportement de l’animal» explique Mélina. C’est aussi un indice pour modifier un comportement incorrect, relève l’éducatrice.

En un premier temps, on doit regarder la source de protéines; cette source doit être de bonne qualité. On ne voudrait pas retrouver des sous-produits de poulet ou de viande (là on sait même pas quelle est la source de protéine). Si la nourriture commence par du maïs ou du soya, ce n’est pas très bon signe. Si on retrouve du blé ou du soya, ce sont des aliments moins bien assimilés qui augmentent le volume des selles. Remarquez que le procédé de fabrication pourrait aussi avoir un impact sur la digestion. Et pour les chiens qui ont des allergies ?
