50 hours of animal handling experience:

Why do we ask for this?
​
We're ask that our Practitioner students have basic familiarity ​with animals, animal body language and animal behavior.  We recognize that this experience can come from many different scenarios.  And so, our pre-requisites are intentionally open-ended to allow the prospective student to gain this animal exposure from the situation and source that most appeals to them.
