Psychophysiological compatibility of a specialist cynologist and service dog
The article discusses the results of the study devoted to one of the most important
aspects of service dog breeding – the psychophysiological compatibility of a specialist
cynologist and a dog. The main methods for collecting empirical material were the system
of checking the dynamic characteristics of ARAKS and the methodology for determining
the characteristics of the temperament of cynologists, developed by H. Eysenck. The
results of the study emphasize the direct influence of the compatibility of the temperament
of the cynologist and the service dog on the results of training and joint performance of
service tasks. In institutions of the penal system in order to increase the effectiveness
of the cynological service it is advisable to take into account the psychophysiological
features in the formed cynologist-dog pairs.
Keywords: psychophysiological compatibility; dynamic characteristics of the psyche of the dog; cynologist; temperament; ARAKS technique; dog learning; dog training
