Abstract
The study of the influence of game behavior on the mental state of service dogs’ puppies of the German and Belgian (Malinois) shepherd breeds was conducted. The experimental and control groups included puppies of different ages - from 1-2 months to 3-6 months. The puppies of the experimental groups were trained with the use of educational games for puppies and young dogs, the puppies of the control groups did not have such training. As a result of a 6-month study, it was proved that the puppies of the younger experimental group showed the best results in 2 of the 4 tests. And the puppies of the older experimental group showed the best results in all 4 tests, in comparison with the results of the initial testing and the results of the control group.
Highlights
A dog is a highly organized animal with complex and diverse behavior
The degree of complexity of behavior depends on the degree of complexity of the central nervous system, which has developed in the process of evolution [4,5]
Game behavior provides training for other forms of behavior; it is typical for the development of the body
Summary
The concept of "behavior" is interpreted as the whole sum of the relationship of the organism with the environment. The degree of complexity of behavior depends on the degree of complexity of the central nervous system, which has developed in the process of evolution [4,5]. The success of raising a puppy depends on the conditions in which its growth and development takes place. If these conditions are favorable, it will successfully lend itself to education and initial training. Game behavior provides training for other forms of behavior; it is typical for the development of the body. It should be noted that the relevance of studying the forms of game behavior helps to optimize the ways of influencing the dog, correctly interprets its behavior, which greatly facilitates the relationship between the dog and the person
