Sample sessions.

SESSION 5	A Perfect Day (Empathy, Interaction, Communication, and Imagination)
MATERIAL	Photos of the dog in different situations and the agenda of the day in the harness.
DEVELOPMENT	The photos are handed out and commented on. Afterwards, all of us put them in the harness to make a perfect day justifying with the interests of the dog.
DAT TECHNICIAN	Support in remembering things that the dog likes, stimulating interaction and communication between them, control and observation of the dog and its well-being.
DOG	Support in the recognition of position pictures.
SESSION 15	Find the differences (attention and memory)
MATERIAL	Velcro work harness, objects of various shapes and colors to stick.
DEVELOPMENT	We put four things on the harness (a red ball, a drawing of a sun, a letter and a smiling face). We walk the dog around the room so that everyone memorizes the objects and disposition. Then we hide the dog and remove an object. We walk the dog again and ask them to tell us what the difference is. We make several rounds varying the difficulty depending on the cognitive level of the participants.
DAT TECHNICIAN	Change the objects according to difficulty; encourage the participants to participate in the activity; position the dog according to the participant’s needs (the more deterioration, the closer); observe the dog and its well-being throughout the session.
DOG	Walk on a leash; standing, sitting, and lying positions with 1-to-2-min stays.
When any sign of stress is detected in the dog, it will be offered water and a rest. We will encourage this observation by the participants with specific dog communication learning sessions in the beginning of the program. These breaks will be used to comment on the session or discuss what is interesting.
