Pri delu s šolskim psom izhajamo iz osnovnih etičnih načel pedagoškega procesa:

• Spoštujemo in upoštevamo različnost in potrebe vseh udeleženih v vzgojno-izobraževalnem procesu, vključno s psom.
• Skrbimo za varnost vseh udeležencev.
• Spodbujamo aktivnost učencev na spoznavnem, socialnem, čustvenem in gibalnem področju.
• Upoštevamo morebitne strahove in zadržke, stik s psom je za vse udeležence prostovoljen.
• Spoštujemo delo vseh udeleženih pri timskem delu.
• Za kvaliteto pedagoškega dela skrbimo tudi z nenehno refleksijo in samo-refleksijo.

The basic principles

We find basis in the following ethical principles of the educational process when working with a school dog:

• We respect and take into consideration the needs of all the participants of the educational process, including the dog.
• We consider the safety of all the participants at all times.
• We encourage participation of all students in the cognitive, social, emotional and motor development.
• We bear in mind fear and hesitation can occur, that is why the participants themselves choose how much contact to have with the dog, if any.
• We respect the input of each participant in the group work.
• We regularly include reflection and self-reflection into our work to ensure the best quality of the educational work.
