    • ]]>     Have your dog sit in front of you. Blow the whistle once and give your dog a treat. If the dog is not driven by a treat simply use praise “good dog”.


    Repeat this exercise several times and repeat several times throughout the day inside and outside of your home. When teaching your dog to come to a whistle, start with short distances (4 to 6 ft.). Work your way out with distance (15 ft) and then progress to (30 ft.). Your dog will soon be running to you!!

    Tips:



    There are many whistles which have different tones and silent tones. Purchase a tone that motivates your dog. If your dog does not like a particular tone than don’t give up, try a different tone. Purchase a whistle that can be heard over noises, distance and wind. Good luck and Happy Dog Tones.
