The available literature on service dog breeding is extremely insufficient to cover the practical training of military, guard-watchmen and shepherd dogs . In order to fill this gap, this book is presented to the attention of the reader, which summarizes all the materials and observations for long-term experience in dog training in the Central Kennel of the Red Army, linked to the latest scientific data and in a popular presentation. Before the publication of this book, there was a wide discussion among a number of specialists in military dog breeding, where minor shortcomings were corrected.
