  • How did you train her to do this? :)

  • Start by waiting till your dog is walking towards you without being prompted & blow 2 quick loud toots of the whistle & immediately give your dog several small treats. Repeat several times the 1st day. Day 2, wait until your dog is in the other room, preferably not a hard wood floor like we have because they should go crazy and come-a-runnin', blow 2 quick loud toots of the whistle and tada, it works. Always give treats when training.Just keep increasing the distance and the distractions. : )

  • Great! thanks SO much! I'll try this with my boy. :)

    Take care!

  • Let me know if it works out for you. If you stay with it for the 1st week or so, it should stay stuck in his mind. I don't use it all the time, but if we go to dog beach and she gets too far away from me.....Toot-Toot and she comes running.

  • thats the name of my german shepard but mines a little bit bigger and yours is also really taimed

  • Dakota is very mellow. She rarely ever barks and is just the sweetest girl. We are lucky to have adopted her, she's been nothing but smiles!

  • My horses name is Dakota! He is a Palamino horse!

  • so my gsd has behavior issues. I notice she responds to my nephews flute, so I will be looking into whistle training. What are the steps to whistle training? What positive reinforcement do you use to help with the training? thanks

  • What a great dog, GSD are very clever. I hope you are enjoying owning her.
