The project is aimed at modernizing and improving the pedagogical process for students of the study subject "Fundamentals of Dog Training" in the cynology study program. The project's goal is to modernize and improve the pedagogical process for students of the study subject "Fundamentals of Dog Training" in the cynology study program. The prepared material will be used for students in further education, following on from other study subjects focusing on dog training for sports cynology, hunting cynology, assistance dog training, canis therapy, rescue and police cynology, and dog sports training (agility, mondioring, nosework, dogfrisbee, working tests, flyball, bull sports, and others). Students will gain better theoretical knowledge and practical skills in dog training as teaching is improved. Students will learn that selecting appropriate training methods and procedures is closely related to breeding, temperament, and learning ability. To achieve the desired educational, training, or training effect, it is necessary to employ a non-violent, dog-safe method that prioritizes welfare.
