Speak Before You Whistle

    After you've chosen your whistle, the next step is to train your dog. If your dog hasn't been trained to respond to your voice commands, he won't be able to respond to a whistle since there's nothing to associate the whistle with. He'll need to learn the recall command of "here" or "come" as well as "sit." When your dog has mastered those two actions at your prompting, you're ready to add a whistle into the mix.
