The dog trainer said this replicates what mom would do to him. Good luck!
Well I just went out and bought a whistle, was gonna get bitter apple to but they didn't have it at Walmart. So, I'm gona try this first and see how she does. So far I've blown it twice and she immediately let go and looked at me like WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?! Crossing my fingers and hoping this works. With it not being a shaker can and thinkin it's something to play with, maybe this will work. if not, I'm gonna pinch her, lol.
