How do i train my 5 year old do to come, when i blow a dog whistle?

Answer 1

I was going to say exactly what ragapple wrote. I vote ragapple for Best Answer.

While sitting next to your dog, blow whistle, treat. Blow whistle, treat. Blow whistle, treat. Blow whistle, treat. Blow whistle, treat. Blow whistle, treat.

When he starts whipping his head toward you when you blow the whistle, do this from a foot away. When he closes the gap quickly, move to two feet, then three feet. If ever he stops coming FAST, go back to an easier step, take a break, or get better treats. Practice this in short increments, like 1-2 minutes at a time several times a day.

Once your dog comes running from across the room, start whilsting from the other room. Go outside and start the process from the beginning, starting right beside your dog. The difference is that this time, you should be able to add distance much more quickly than when you started training it indoors. Then add distractions SLOWLY until he becomes very reliable. And as ragapple said, don't use this to ever call him for something "bad" like time to leave the dog park or come to get his nails clipped until it is extraordinarily well-established, and even then make sure that the "positive" recalls always outnumber the "negative" recalls by 40 to 1.

Answer 2

Blow the whistle, call the dog, and motion for him to come to you. When the dog comes to you give it a reward. Call the dog and motion for it to come to you. Give it a reward. Blow the dog whistle and motion for the dog to come to you. Give it a reward. Use the whistle and motion a few time and then try the whistle only.

The dog now probably understands the call and the motion. So you are substituting the whistle for the call.

Answer 3

with dog sitting right next to you toot the whistle (don't deafen him) and hand him a treat. Repeat over next couple days. When his head snaps around & he begins to drool when you blow the whistle, try tooting it form the other side of the room, likely he'll come tearing up hopeing for the treat, if not go get him take him to where you were & treat.. continue slowly increasing distance, go back to last step if he fails any increased distance....
Reward with food on inervals for the rest of his life and never call or whistle him to you & punish him....

Answer 4

try something that wont hurt its ears, maybe a clicker and give it a treat when your dog does come, demestrate first with help of another person clicking and direct your dog to go to the person

Answer 5

When he does, praise him.
When he doesn't, gently reprimand him.
He'll learn quickly being praised is the better choice.
