Training a whistle recall is a must for Mudi who love to run. To see this in action click on the video below. Not without a little squabbling with the girls...Leza almost always has to "herd" Tally in...
That is an AWESOME video! SOO perfect! What kind of whistle are you using? And how did you train it SO reliably? Griff definitely LOVES to run, and he HAS to do it... if I had a really reliable whistle recall like this, I know I would be more comfortable letting him go all out and really get what he needs.
I trained the whistle recall by association. A verbal recall was already in place, I simply added the whistle while the dog was in motion on the return. Good luck!
I have been working on Griff's recall and had considered using a whistle recall. Any suggestions for how to train it?
