How to Teach Your Dog To Come Back Using a Whistle
I'll keep this short, simple and to the point - because this really doesn't need to be over complicated:
What is the Whistle Used For?
A dog whistle is a training tool that has been used for a very long time. Whistles can be used for any number of commands and they have a piercing sound that carries a long distance and is distinct from most everyday noises. This makes it a great tool if you need to control your dog at a distance or if you need to get your dog's attention in a noisy situation.
1) Use a whistle if your dog has a hard time following verbal commands.
The whistle is a distinct noise that the dog doesn't hear except as a training tool. This means the dog is more likely to respond to it than to spoken commands, where the cue word might be heard in everyday conversation.
- For example, if the dog hears the word "Sit" in conversation when it's not expected to obey, it makes the dog think it's optional to obey when he hears it as a command.
- If your dog is badly behaved and got into the habit of ignoring verbal commands, then a whistle offers you a fresh start with a training tool that the dog hasn't heard before and so hasn't learned to ignore.
2) Pick a whistle.
Any type of whistle will work but it's best to use a dog training whistle of a specific frequency. They come in a range of frequencies, so decide on a frequency and stick to it. This means if you lose your whistle you can easily purchase a replacement.
If you don't know the frequency of your whistle it's not the end of the world. Just as a well-trained dog responds when any man or woman says "Sit," so it will respond to any whistle. However, in a group situation with multiple dog trainers all using whistles at the same time, it helps your dog to identify your unique whistle and respond to it.
- It is not necessary to use a silent or ultrasonic whistle. Indeed, it is better to use a whistle in the audible spectrum humans can hear. This will help you know you've used the correct strength of blow to reach the dog and that the signal was clear and not open to misinterpretation.
3) Purchase a whistle
Commercial dog training whistles can be purchased online (At DogCatz, of course). It may be a good idea to order more than one whistle (Yes, we have HUGE savings on our Multibuy purchase - take a look above). This will give you a spare if you lose the whistle.
- Also, fix it to a lanyard so that you always have it around your neck when out on a walk.
4) Decide on your whistle cues
You blow the whistle in unique ways to signal what you want the dog to do. For example:
- To signal Sit or Stop you can give a single long blast on the whistle. For Recall or Come give a series of three short blasts.
5) Practice blowing the whistle
To blow the whistle use your tongue to break up the sound. As you are blowing, cover up the hole in the whistle briefly with your tongue
6) Transfer commands from your voice to the whistle
One option is to start with a dog that already knows the "Sit" or "Stop" command and responds well to it. First give your whistle signal for sit, such as single long blast, then say the word "Sit". When the dog sits reward it with a treat or praise.
- As the dog learns the whistle command, leave a longer gap between the whistle and the spoken command. Eventually you can stop using the verbal command altogether.
- You can transfer from a spoken to a whistle command for recall in exactly the same way for Sit.
7) Begin training an untrained dog with a whistle
If your dog isn't great at commands to start with use the whistle for Sit: hold a treat in your hand and raise it in an arc above the dog's head so that as it follows the treat the dog's bottom hits the ground. As soon as its bottom hits the ground, give your whistle command and reward the dog for sitting.
- Repeat this in multiple training sessions and the dog start reacting to the whistle and sitting without being lured by a treat.
- To teach Recall start with the dog on a long leash. Play with the dog and then call it to you. As soon as the dog puts a paw in your direction give the whistle signal. You want the dog to associate stepping towards you with the whistle. With enough repetition, once the dog hears the signal and it will come running because it associates the whistle with fun, your being really pleased to see him, and a great reward.
Q&A's
1. Will the whistle stop my dog from barking at people?
A whistle does distract your dog from barking, but the whistle can't train your dog for you. You'll have to make sure that your dog knows the whistle is being blown due to his barking. (Consistency is key, so make sure to blow the whistle every time the issue occurs.)
2. Can I use a dog whistle to stop my dogs from growling or biting?
Yes, you can.
3. My dog is partially deaf, would a dog whistle work to get her attention so that I can motion for her to come?
A dog whistle would irritate her, rather than get her attention, so it is preferred not to do so.
4. What is the distance for a dog whistle, I have a next door neighbor with a barking dog. Will this work?
Dogs have exceptional hearing. If you blow the whistle from just next door, your neighbor's dog should hear it. However, that will not guarantee it stops barking.
5. Can a dog whistle be used to distract my one dog from attacking my other dog?
Yes, it might be effective in distracting your dog.
6. What's the best dog whistle for a mixed boxer dog?
The breed doesn't really change how a certain whistle will affect the dog. It doesn't matter. Choose your favorite color and the ones with the best reviews!
7. How do I train my puppies to come to a dog whistle?
In the morning, take the puppies' daily food and start training inside. Blow the whistle and give the puppy a piece of kibble or some sort of meat. Keep doing this pattern. After that, walk away from your puppy just slightly and blow the whistle, if your puppy didn't come to you, you need to go back to step one. Keep doing this every day and then move outside with a leash, and then do it on walks. Keep building distance and distraction. When it fails, move back and step and retrain.
