Not sure if this would work, but I've tried to train our 2 to come for the dog whistle. I would blow the whistle in the house and give them a really good treat--turkey is their favorite. They learned pretty quick to come for the whistle. Once they learned that, I would occasionally blow the whistle, always with a really good treat. They say that the whistle carries farther than your voice, too. We haven't had to test it out in an emergency yet, thank goodness! |
Barney is trained to come to me when I do this goofy call, "run, run, run" in a really high pitched voice, which he gets treats for. I immediately started doing this when he took off. But the call of nature was way too strong. I looked pretty silly walking up and down our road calling, "run, run, run" all the way. But it was what finally got him to come to me from the field. I guess I should do a whistle instead because it carries farther.
