To train recall with a dog whistle, you can start by calling their name to get their attention and rewarding them with a treat or toy if they come to you. Once they start coming to get their treat reliably, you can start pairing their name with a specific whistle sound. Use the same sound every time, and start by calling your pet’s name then making the whistle sound. Reward them every time they come to you after you have made your vocal command and sounded the whistle. With time you should be able to completely replace your vocal command with the call of the dog training whistle. To avoid confusing your dog, we would suggest that you choose one of our dog whistle models and try to stick with it. This way your whistle calls will always sound the same and your dog will know that when they hear that specific sound, they need to return to you.
