The loss of our daily routines as we knew them, and the threat of more serious casualties to come from COVID-19, has put a serious emotional strain on all of us. So perhaps it should come as no surprise to see social media feeds flooded with photos and videos of cats, dogs, and other companion animals. Pets provide nonjudgmental emotional support, and studies show that contact with pets help reduces stress and anxiety, particularly when you are experiencing a stressful situation.

Our furry friends may be enjoying our social distancing a whole lot more than we are, but their presence is extremely important -- psychologists explain the power of the pet.

Fran Beltran (Spain) works as a dog trainer. He dedicates himself to training privately owned dogs and also works often in the training of Police dogs. Fran lectures in seminars and in specialisation courses for professionals in the canine sector. What he enjoys the most about his job is to be able to train professionals, as well as the training of working and utility dogs, whether they are competition or police dogs that are going to work in the street and with people. Since this is where the importance of the work that a well-trained dog can perform is really reflected.
During his free time, Fran usually competes in Mondioring, but he also enjoys taking long walks in nature with his dogs. When he takes part of Mondioring competitions, Fran takes advantage of his free time to go to other training circuits and tracks, with his team to train their dogs, providing them with a change in their environment. After training with his team, they often have a meal together in the outdoors, enjoying quality time with each other and with their dogs.

La labor principal de Fran Beltran esta enfocado hacia el adiestramiento. Fran se dedica desde entrenar perros de particulares, hasta trabajar con perros de la policía. También alecciona seminarios y cursos de especialización para profesionales del sector canino. Lo que más le gusta de su trabajo es la parte de la formación de profesionales y la formación de perros de trabajo y utilidad, ya sea de competición o perros policía que van a trabajar en la calle. Ya que es donde se ve reflejado realmente la importancia de la labor que puede llegar a realizar un perro bien entrenado.
En sus tiempos libres, Fran dedica-se a competir en Mondioring o a hacer alguna ruta o paseo con los perros, ya que le encanta la naturaleza y aprovecha cuando pueda para escapar-se de la ciudad. Cuando esta en pleno circuito de competición, aprovecha los tiempos libres para ir-se a otras pistas o escenarios nuevos con su equipo para entrenar los perros y cambiarles el entorno, y después de entrenar, meriendan todos juntos y pasan un buen día entre perros y amigos.
