Their training is conducted on an experimental basis, the first stage is being conducted on the department's training ground and arenas, and the second stage is being conducted in residential areas and on the streets. The second direction is to teach guide dogs to disabled and disabled citizens. 

In this case, the task of the dog is to move in the specified direction to bring the necessary things to the disabled citizen. 

For example, if you need to bring medicine from the pharmacy, the service dog is instructed to put money and a prescription in a special bag and go to the address. When the service dog arrives at the pharmacy, the pharmacist takes the prescription from a special bag, gives the necessary drugs, and gives the order to go home. In all these trainings, instructors of the department walk side by side with a service dog and provide information in this direction to people with disabilities, pharmacists and shopkeepers.
