    Getting Started With Your 3500X Your dog must know some basic obedience commands before beginning training with the 3500X. A dog learns by first being shown a command, followed by lots of repetition over an extended period. As the dog becomes proficient at these commands, the trainer can introduce distractions and different locations to strengthen them.
