Behavior and Training Libraries
Santa Fe Animal Shelter has a comprehensive behavior and training library, including tips for finding a trainer and bringing home a new cat or dog. We’ve also provided links to other libraries and training resources to help you and your pet build and maintain a loving bond.
If your pet is displaying concerning behaviors like fear, stress or aggression, we recommend that you establish care with a certified trainer and a veterinarian to try and address the behavior issues. There are some medications, forms of mental stimulation, and calming collars, scents, supplements and treats that may help.
If you live in Santa Fe County or City and need financial assistance for veterinary care, please please get in touch with our CASA Program at 505.983.4309 ext. 1606.
