Programa de comportamiento y adiestramiento
At San Diego Humane Society, we believe every animal deserves the chance to thrive — even those with the most complex behavior challenges.
Nuestro programa Behavior & Training, reconocido a escala nacional, es uno de los pocos de su clase en el país, y salva vidas cada día.
Many of the animals who are enrolled into this program arrive with deep fear, anxiety or stress. For them, our Behavior & Training program is a source of hope. Through this life-changing program, a dedicated team of experts across our campuses creates individualized plans and works patiently for weeks, months and sometimes years to help them learn, trust and heal.
Because of this program, animals who once had nowhere else to turn are given a second chance to become adoptable and find a new home. It is a cornerstone of our commitment to Stay at Zero euthanasia of healthy or treatable shelter pets — and a shining example of what’s possible when compassion and nationally leading expertise come together.
Acerca de nuestro Centro de Conducta
El Centro de Conducta de nuestro campus de San Diego es la piedra angular de nuestro trabajo. Este centro especializado, uno de los pocos de su clase en el país, nos permite salvar cada año a cientos de animales que de otro modo no tendrían opciones.
The Behavior Center is a uniquely designed space that removes the noise, unpredictability and other barriers to behavior modification in a traditional shelter and replaces them with an environment that supports the intensive work these animals require. Here, our behavior team works intensively to address complex challenges.
Características del Centro de Comportamiento
44 hábitats para perros, diseñados específicamente con:
- Privacidad e insonorización para reducir la estimulación.
- Acceso directo a patios de juego sombreados al aire libre, lo que permite a los adiestradores trabajar con los perros en un entorno seguro cuando son demasiado tímidos o temerosos para llevar correa sin una ansiedad extrema.
Cat housing for more than 30 cats in an isolated wing that provides separation from dogs to reduce stress and facilitate their individualized training plans. This cat housing provides unique features, including:
- Escondites para gatos tímidos y miedosos.
- Uso de barras principalmente horizontales en los hábitats: las investigaciones demuestran que los gatos escanean su entorno de forma horizontal de forma natural, y que las barras verticales interrumpen este proceso y causan un estrés innecesario.
- Una sala comunitaria para gatos con acceso al exterior para su enriquecimiento.
No hay ningún otro centro integral de rehabilitación del comportamiento animal como éste en San Diego, lo que nos convierte en la única esperanza para cientos de los animales más amenazados de nuestra comunidad, que de otro modo serían inadoptables. Además, nuestro centro es uno de los pocos del país y compartimos nuestras prácticas para salvar vidas con organizaciones de todo el país.
Classes, Videos and Resources
Además de cuidar a los animales en los refugios de San Diego Humane Society, el Programa de Comportamiento y Adiestramiento proporciona recursos y apoyo a la comunidad a través de clases y talleres públicos de adiestramiento, recursos de adiestramiento en línea y acceso a nuestros adiestradores profesionales. Al dar a la gente las herramientas y el apoyo necesarios para resolver los problemas de comportamiento en el hogar, ayudamos a las familias a mantener a las mascotas que aman.
