The overpopulation of shelters and the increase of homeless dogs have become serious problems in many countries. One contributor to the number of both sheltered and homeless dogs is the abandonment and relinquishment of pet dogs by their owners for different reasons - in many cases depending on dogs' undesirable or problematic behaviors. Luckily, the behavioral characteristics of a dog are, to some extent, modifiable parameters. The aim of this study was to train the dogs housed in a garden shelter in Italy to become suitable as pets by becoming familiar to different tools and situations that they could encounter in a domestic setting through a customized educational path based on social and environmental enrichment. Shelters can hardly afford the expenses for administering training to dogs. The problem could be overcome by engaging the best graduating students attending referenced training schools, whose mission is to train professionals with high theoretical and practical skills. Shelters' administrators should choose referenced schools only, that teach positive training methods respectful of animals and that support the human-animal bond.

人类活动学：在花园庇护所中进行认知训练，使狗更适合作为宠物。

在许多国家，收容所的人口过多和无家可归的狗的增加已成为严重的问题。造成庇护和无家可归的狗数量增加的一个原因是其主人出于各种原因放弃和放弃宠物狗-在许多情况下，取决于狗的不良或有问题的行为。幸运的是，狗的行为特征在某种程度上是可修改的参数。这项研究的目的是通过熟悉社会和环境的基础上的个性化教育途径，通过熟悉家中环境中可能遇到的各种工具和情况，来训练安置在意大利花园避难所中的狗，使其适合作为宠物。收容所几乎负担不起对犬进行训练的费用。可以通过聘用最好的应届毕业生参加参考培训学校来解决该问题，这些学校的任务是培训具有高理论和实践技能的专业人员。庇护所的管理者应仅选择推荐的学校，这些学校应教授尊重动物的积极训练方法并支持人与动物的联系。
