To become an AAT, you'll need to get educated and gain some experience. You can start by volunteering at animal shelters or hospitals, and taking courses in animal behavior, psychology, or a related field. Don't worry, it's not as daunting as it sounds - every step you take will bring you closer to your goal!
One of the most important things you'll need to learn is how to assess and handle animals in a therapeutic setting. This means understanding their behavior, body language, and boundaries. You'll also need to learn how to build relationships with your animal partners and the people you'll be working with.
