Whistle Stop

Post by goldendood »

Thanks to an idea in a recent episode of It's Me Or the Dog, I have successfully trained my 5-month-old Goldendoodle to respond to a good, old-fashioned coach's whistle. It took all of 10 minutes of whistle/treat for Tillie to understand. I can now take her out in the yard (not fenced) to do her business and run, run, run, run, run, without having to worry that she's going to lead me on a merry chase through the neighborhood. Wherever she may head, she comes on the gallop to retrieve her treat when the whistle sounds.
