General Training Tips Getting started with your 1900S Your dog must know some very basic obedience commands before beginning training with the 1900S. A dog learns by rst being shown a command, followed by lots of repetition over an extended period. As the dog becomes pro cient at these commands, the trainer can introduce distractions and different locations to strengthen them.
