ZIKMUNDOVÁ, Michaela
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of the use of a dog in competitive herding, which is based on the use of a dog on the farm and to verify its ability to control the herd. Furthermore, the thesis describes the characteristics of breeds that are used for herding. The training of the monitored dog was carried out in 5 stages at 2 training centers under the guidance of experienced instructors. In the second phase, the dog passed the unofficial Natural Herding Aptitude Test (NHAT), with the rating "passed" in the Socialization section and "excellent" in the Shepherd Talent section. The training was completed by successful completion of unofficial competition with fourth place out of 12 dogs. The most commonly used dog breeds are Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, and Smooth Collie. The possibility to attend training sessions in several training areas and to consult training with more instructors has a positive effect on the overall training progress. An integral part of the overall performance of the pair is the role of the handler, who must give commands to the dog in time and correctly estimate the situation. When complications occur while training, it is not advisable to force the dog to work, as it might loose interest. At the competition that test the readiness of the dog and the handler, the handler should try to stay calm, as stressed handler might negatively affect the performance of the dog by sending wrong body signals.

The thesis summarizes the data collected from 8 Regional Directorates of the Police of the Czech Republic regarding the number of casas when the work dogs were utilized in practice in 2007, 2008 and up to the 3rd quarter of 2009. All the stated information has been processed in the thesis with the aim to elaborate a methodology of training of work dogs intended for guns and ammunition search, and to set the standards for assesment of suitability of individual dogs for training for guns and ammunition search, and for their subsequent utilization in practice. The obtained data were used in the thesis for elaboration of the methodology of work dogs training for guns and ammunition search. While elaborating the methodology it was ascertained thatdespite the existing universal training methodology each dog requires an individual approach with due regard to its physical and mental characteristics.
