The article addresses to the system of professional training of junior cynology inspectors with special dogs in the State Criminal and Executive Service of Ukraine, which includes: training in an educational institution, penitentiary institutions, and remand detention centers of the State Criminal and Executive of Ukraine.

The features of conducting theoretical classes during which professional knowledge and the ability to methodically, consistently and technically correctly perform training techniques are formed in junior dog inspectors.

The proposed methodical recommendations for conducting practical classes will make it possible to form a system of theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the training and use of special dogs for the search for narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in junior cynology inspectors.

Each junior cynology inspector must learn the theoretical material, prepare the dog assigned to him, and only in the process of practical work with a service dog can he master the profession of dog handler.

Proposals have been made to the content of special training in penitentiary institutions and detention centers of the State Criminal and Executive Service of Ukraine to improve the professional skills of junior cynology inspectors and maintain the working qualities of a service dog at the proper level for performing tasks.

Therefore, in order to achieve the effectiveness of the work of cynology teams and the effectiveness of the use of special dogs, it is necessary to constantly carry out measures to develop the necessary motivation of canines to master new professional features of their activities; the use of interactive technologies for the development of the professional competence of a cynologist, with the aim of forming professionally important and personal components for the performance of official duties.

Key words: professional training, penitentiary institutions, detention centers, department of cynology science, cynology inspector, training.
