Training of different dog breeds for police purposes

Cilj raziskave je bil proučiti dejavnike, ki v največji meri vplivajo na izpitne rezultate službenih psov slovenske policije. S poznavanjem teh se bo učvrstila čustvena vez med vodnikom in psom, prav tako bo povečana uspešnost šolanja. Raziskava je bila opravljena na Oddelku za šolanje službenih psov v Gmajnicah pri Ljubljani. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih pet službenih psov in njihovih vodnikov. Za analizo dobljenih podatkov smo uporabili deskriptivno statistiko. Trije od petih psov so v izpitnih preizkusih dosegli največje povprečne vrednosti, med 95 in 100 točk. Psihično stanje vodnika ter neugodne vremenske razmere sta vplivali na slabše rezultate preostalih dveh psov. Ugotovili smo, da so na uspešnost šolanja imeli največji vpliv izkušenost in izobraženost vodnikov ter njihovo psihično stanje.There are many factors which influence the succes of working police dogs at their examination trials. The aim of the study was to study important factors which influence the final results of slovenian working police dogs in completing their training and passing the certification. An increased knowledge of these factors could not only improve the emotional bond between a handler and their canine, but will also reflect on the increased training and certification passing sucess. The survey was conducted at the Service dogs training section in Gmajnice near Ljubljana. Five dogs and their handlers were included in this study. Data analysis was conducted with the descriptive statistics method. Three out of five dogs have assembled the highest average rates, between 95 and 100 points. Mental state and bad weather conditions had an impact on the low results of the other two participants. We have established that education, experience and the mental condition of the police dog handlers were rated as the most important factors in canine training sucess
