Sumario:The study of the influence of game behavior on the mental state of service dogs’ puppies of the German and Belgian (Malinois) shepherd breeds was conducted. The experimental and control groups included puppies of different ages - from 1-2 months to 3-6 months. The puppies of the experimental groups were trained with the use of educational games for puppies and young dogs, the puppies of the control groups did not have such training. As a result of a 6-month study, it was proved that the puppies of the younger experimental group showed the best results in 2 of the 4 tests. And the puppies of the older experimental group showed the best results in all 4 tests, in comparison with the results of the initial testing and the results of the control group.
