CLINICAL INDICES OF WORKING CAPACITY OF PROTECTIVE AND SEARCH DETECTION DOG WITH DOSED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Abstract

In the article, the authors conducted experimental studies of the parameters of the vital activity of the body of a professionally trained service dog during its training. This training relates to the detention of the “violator” and the search for bookmarks with the smell of a drug simulator during dosed physical exertion, simulating natural working conditions in exceptional service. The research algorithm included fixing the vital parameters of the dog’s body after its training on a mechanical treadmill and the subsequent performance of elements of a particular service - the detention of the “violator” and the search for imitators of narcotic substances on a unique simulator. In addition, the authors considered the parameters of the environment, the parameters of the dog’s body (including body temperature, heart rate and respiration), the parameters of dosing physical activity during exercise, and the features of work. Finally, the data obtained are discussed from the standpoint of organising an algorithm for substantiated and optimal modes of training and service use of a protective search service dog. Thus, the authors propose to name a dog that, in absolute service (and preparation for it) when searching for “bookmarks” of narcotic substances, can instantly switch from searching for the desired substances to protecting the conductor from an intruder and vice versa.
