i used this method for my 3 month old lab and golden mix and he picked up on it perfectly within the first 2 days of the whistle training ! i highly recommend this !!!! he will already come to me even when he’s playing with the other dogs outside ! thank you for this !!! this is a life saver !!! i also just wanted to add that i didn’t even need to do the long lead phase (i do have one) he just immediately got it after 2 days of the first phase.
I loved this! I have 2 Samoyeds, one is too old to run off and not come back, whereas the other one, at just turned 5 is a different story altogether. She was also adopted by me less than a year ago, so her previous training is patchy. I'm tired of yelling in the woods for her to come back. It defeats the whole idea of being out in the peace and quiet!! I decided that getting a whistle was a better idea. This video is so clear, and structured, I wish all training videos were this good! Just waiting for said whistle to arrive and we're a go!
I used a silent whistle and my dog looked around with great interest like ‘What do you want from me’. He’s not food motivated. I want to train my dog how to stop barking at people who come close into his orb. Like your video a lot . Thanks
I'm very pleased about how you did this. You took it from my conceiving in my head to actually showing the Pavlovian process. Thank you for sharing this gem. Subscribed for sure
we will do phase three never out of a fenced area cause when a greyhound runs of the chances to get the dog back are too small that i would trust it. but this video helped me train my grey to come back to me in the dog parc to leash her- beforehand i had to chase her when i wanted to leave. thank u very much for this great video
I have watched many vids. This resonated with me. Simple guidance,I have high hopes for my two year old cocker who I need to level up in return training. Many thanks!
I think Im mmost impressed by how easily you got them into play mode.. lol Graet vid tho. Ive always wanted to whistle train my dogs. Since my old one passed, we are looking for a new family member, and Im confident I can do this.. Its same as how I train my old Otto, just using a whistle vs vocal commands. It all makes so much sense! Thank you!
@lucashaskell5189 We got a 2yr old red heeler cross. He hates the whistle, the noise scares/freaks him out. However, if I whistle with my mouth, *which im a really good whistler, and can do a high pitched whistle you can hear fir miles,* he comes immediately, just as if he's whistle trained, and im happy as can be with that. I essentially "charge him up" just like I would a dog whistle with nummy treats and loads of loving attention, even tho its not really necessary, he seems preconditioned to it when we got him, but I like to reinforce the behavior. 😀
@lucashaskell5189 This is from the day we got him. He instantly fit in with with us and proved a very good dog. th-cam.com/video/ICBnr90KQwg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yo2COxeBgtMTyqs5
Great video. Question, how many treats per session for phase 1 are we giving for each piece (Beginning, sitting on the couch, ETC, out on the street, ETC)
Thank you, this was so good to watch from stage one, since I haven’t used a whistle before. Now I feel more confident. But I do have a question. Do you use the same blowing pattern for each dog? I have 5 dogs.... So if the pattern is for instance 2 short toots, that means that all the dogs would come (if they understand what they are supposed to do) and then I need to reward all of them at once, correct? I realize that training is going to be easiest if the working dog is separated from the rest. But what would you do?
I would train each dog individually as shown in this video. The only change I would make is that I would teach each dog two whistles. One whistle pattern that I would teach all 5 dogs, then a separate whistle pattern unique to each dog. Twice the work but handy. Or, use their names to call them individually.
I have 3 dogs and have Garmin Alpha 100 GPS colors on all of them when I go out in the woods, so I can see where they are. Today I almost had my world end. It started raining so hard so I called the dogs, 2 came as they could hear me and the female that did not cone is so smart that I was not worried even when she did not come, so I put my truck in 4x4 to get turned around as it became so muddy, and then I got stuck. By the time I started driving my girl Coffee had run over a mile towards the main road as it was raining, she lost her direction and went the opposite way of where I parked. I was now driving and swirving in the mud at full speed looking at the gps as I could see where she was running at as I was in desperation to get to her before she got hit by a car. By the time I made it to the main road where she was cars were zipping by her by only feet as she was walking on the side of the road. She is all black and the sun is now set and raining. I pulled over almost causing an accident and ran out and lifted her in my arms. I have been in shock for the past 3 hours. If I had lost her my world would have ended. Lessons learned: 1) If I had not had the Garmin gps collar on her, I would have never known nor believed that she would have gone in the wrong direction and traveledthat far. So, without the gps collar she would have likely been killed right now. 2) I could not communicate with her to let her know where I was as I walked to the truckdown the back roads trail. So, I went and bought whistles. I can not reccomend this video and others like it enough. I have been doing this training for 10 minutes and they are already understanding to come to me. Then I was in the other room listening to it and when the man blew his whistle they came running. A GPS collar is great as you get to know where your dog is. But it does not allow you to get a high pitch tone out to communicate with your dog. Please learn from my horrible experience today with Coffee, so you are never in the same situation and not able to communicate with your dog, to let her know where you are. Very respectfully, Erik Petroni Neverquitnever.com
Love the video. What kind of whistle do you use? Mine is way too loud to use in the house. I won't even use it early in the morning due to concerns about neighbors. Need one that's not so loud!
Great video. My Labs come consistently at the beginning of a walk, but, toward the end of an off-lease walk where they have been called back 6-8 times, the whistle is less effective, sometimes not at all. Am I doing some wrong; expecting too much; not enough long lead reenforcement? Any help appreciated.
Is this along the same lines of clicker training? Sound=reward? Will the dog get to the point where they are treat dependent and will not come once they realize there’s no more treat?
you can also turn the recall into a praise and play so this way he gets hooked to the emotions rather than the treats. i have a GSD and i never use treats, he only gets verbal praise and it works wonders.
Question. I have two 5 month old Maremma puppies. They are outside dogs. Can I train them together or do I need to separate them and teach them one at a time?
Wondering if I should do one sound or two sounds. I think I should use two because someone else might have a whistle and call my dog to go to them and steal my dog.
My dog runs off and comes home 1hour later or 2,last time she ran off I found her at a school and a woman was trying to put a leash on her! She hates leashes!, called her to me she came back. Trying a whistle,but don't know what kind to use,any recommendations appreciated?
This is common with some dogs. They usually get over it unless they are super sensitive. Try and make the noise as soft as possible for several days and toss the food rather than trying to hand feed. In time, she will probably get over it and you can continue normally
just use the word come (or any other word of your choice). If you really want to whistle train, try going with the softest whistle you can find, then work up to a louder one.
Not sure exactly what you mean. I do like using this whistle technique with families because kids can blow a whistle but sometimes are not very good with understanding in depth training techniques
If you dog is naturally fearful of the whistle, I would just use a verbal cue. You could also probably change your dog's perception by muffling the whistle sound a bit and then conditioning it like the video. In time, you could blow it loudly. Depends on the dog.
I’ve been searching TH-cam for tips on how to teach my dogs recall and this is by far the best. Thanks

Great video. Thanks!!!
Thank you very articulate explanation of all phases. Yet, when environment surpasses the R+ consequence it's hard to get the dog back. pls elaborate
Would need to switch to -R with some dogs
Great advice! Thank you
Loved the video, perfectly conveyed 😸
Keep the good stuff coming!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Excellent presentation. Learned so much! Thank you for posting. Please keep up the good work! Beautiful dogs, btw!
Thanks mate. Picked up a whistle and started phase 1 today with cheese. His eyes were like 👁👁
Wonderful!!!! Thank you!
amazing! thanks!

Clearly explained thank you!! My whistle comes Monday and can't wait to start training.
How did you get on with this training? I plan to use this method too.
@@paulinedady1527 used it for a little while, but found we only really needed it the woods when our dog was out of sight.
Great video thank you
Awesome video, thank you!
this video is golden :)

My 7 year old black lab I got at a shelter came running to me when I whistled from really far
Love the video. What kind of whistle do you use? Mine is way too loud to use in the house. I won't even use it early in the morning due to concerns about neighbors. Need one that's not so loud!
Great video. My Labs come consistently at the beginning of a walk, but, toward the end of an off-lease walk where they have been called back 6-8 times, the whistle is less effective, sometimes not at all. Am I doing some wrong; expecting too much; not enough long lead reenforcement? Any help appreciated.
Maybe try a more valued treat, something he really really likes, it may help!
Where did you get the long leash and what is it made of?
My dog is very toy orientated, would this still be as effective to throw a ball once the dog comes? Are there negative connotations with that?
Idk I wouldn’t personally do that because the ball is used to play
Im pretty sure alot of police dogs get rewarded with their favorite toy! So it probably wouldn't be an issue!
At what age should I train my GS puppy to the recall please?
Is this along the same lines of clicker training? Sound=reward? Will the dog get to the point where they are treat dependent and will not come once they realize there’s no more treat?
you can also turn the recall into a praise and play so this way he gets hooked to the emotions rather than the treats. i have a GSD and i never use treats, he only gets verbal praise and it works wonders.
What is the benefit of using whistle which will produce ultrasound?
haha my dog was in the room with me while i was watching and he kept on coming to me:))
what's a good age to start this training? thanks
t storm now
@@Mydogtrainingspot even tho my dog is like 7 years old?
@@betterstayout0 yes my dogs are 3, and 10. Worked relatively same for both
Question. I have two 5 month old Maremma puppies. They are outside dogs. Can I train them together or do I need to separate them and teach them one at a time?
You can train the recall together and separate
When do we get rid of treat and they still come back?
Is it possible to use the whistle too much?
I've just got my springer spaniel pup he's 8 weeks should I start doing this now or is it too early
You could, but I would be focusing on other puppy stuff at 8 weeks. I have a video of first things to do with your puppy
Wondering if I should do one sound or two sounds. I think I should use two because someone else might have a whistle and call my dog to go to them and steal my dog.
My dog runs off and comes home 1hour later or 2,last time she ran off I found her at a school and a woman was trying to put a leash on her! She hates leashes!, called her to me she came back. Trying a whistle,but don't know what kind to use,any recommendations appreciated?
Great video. Just want to ask.. Instead of using a whistle could I replace it with calling out "HERE"?
Yes, same steps apply!
Hi, my dog seems to be scared of the noise my whistle makes so I’m can’t even do phase 1 as she runs off every time I blow the whistle. Any advice?
This is common with some dogs. They usually get over it unless they are super sensitive.
Try and make the noise as soft as possible for several days and toss the food rather than trying to hand feed. In time, she will probably get over it and you can continue normally
Yeah, I was thinking blowing the whistle at random to see if the dog will come.
My dog is afraid of the whistle. His tail and ears drop and he crouches down even after I give him a treat. Any advice?
Same🤦♀️
just use the word come (or any other word of your choice). If you really want to whistle train, try going with the softest whistle you can find, then work up to a louder one.
New sub
I should try using whistle instead of yelling because they might not hear me yell/call them to come.
Did it work?
That's the idea to have commands that only you can do
Not sure exactly what you mean. I do like using this whistle technique with families because kids can blow a whistle but sometimes are not very good with understanding in depth training techniques
I blew the whistle once and my golden retriever ran from me because she was scared...how do I fix that?
If you dog is naturally fearful of the whistle, I would just use a verbal cue. You could also probably change your dog's perception by muffling the whistle sound a bit and then conditioning it like the video. In time, you could blow it loudly. Depends on the dog.
What happens if someone else blow the whistle if you are blowing in random patterns? I will tell you what happens.. your dog runs away from you 😅
😂
It did not work these dogs are bad
Stop talking so much and enact
Maybe listen and you may learn something
@@Mydogtrainingspot ignore him the video was great
This is stupid what about when you want them to stop then come back then stop etc learning them a bad habit NOBODY DO THIS
I have no idea what this comment means.
@@Mydogtrainingspot he had a stroke while writing this.
You obviously don’t own a dog
Then say stop and then blow the whistle if your doing that type of training🤯
