Thanks to my family (both nonhuman and human),

Also thank you to all participants that continue to help spread the IPT Word
3Innovative Pet Therapy
Due to language differences, human perception
and ego, hands-on work with Animal can be
challenging. Injury to students can be a
possibility.
IPT is not responsible for safety concerns during
the IPTouch process.
ALL IPT programs support veterinary
consultation if indicated. Your veterinarian should
meet your pet before injury or illness manifests.
Review IPTouch Policy Guideline concepts for
your state concerning animal handling protocols.
IPT Policy Guidelines are updated and
participants should have a full understanding of
IPTouch ethics, safety, precautions & scope of
practice. These are posted on IPT’s educational
sites.
Proceeding with this course indicates you
understand and accept IPTouch Policy
Guidelines.
Class Rule: NO Sad Pet Stories Allowed!

Pets IN Class Room Protocols
36. Shots up to date.
37. Pets must be groomed, brushed & clean prior to class access.
38. Dogs & Cats in AMCP classes must be spayed or neutered.
39. An open topped exercise pen with a large blanket (as opposed to the carpet)
is required for pets that attend classes. These private IPT areas need to be
large enough for a human to sit comfortably inside with them.
40. Pets must be safely on leashes ect. at all times when out of exercise pens.
41. We cannot have water or food readily available on the floor. Class is short
enough with enough breaks to share these needs outside, somewhat away
from the building and walkways.
42. Pets are only allowed in building 5. (Computer lab with pets is a no no).
43. Potty time is away from the building (bring a poop bag!)
44. ALL small species of pets are welcome, however if you feel your pet needs
much of your attention, you may find it best to absorb lecture materials with a
stuffed animal for the time being. (I myself have this issue. As you can see
my own pets do not attend my classes when I teach).
45. Pet greetings with other pets will need direct owner supervision.
46. Pet owners must be on site with their own pets during class time.
47. Out of town participants will be assisted in the above areas.
