Firstly, bear in mind that if your dog feels happy with you it will quickly answer to your call whether you use whistle or voice. Do not ever punish him or complain of what he has done wrong as he answers your call. If you do that, he will form the feeling that answering to your whistle recall command could mean being beaten or rebuked. Be nice to him each time he obeys your recall command.

To make your dog leave whatever it is engaged in and run back to you whenever you call is successful dog obedience. Though, this can only happen if you make him feel that it is a good thing to answer you quickly each time you call. Dogs are reasonable animals, your dog wants to be certain that whatever move it makes is beneficial.

It is not as difficult as it seems to teach your dog whistle recall commands. It really is easy if you turn your recalls into good experiences for him. Listen; dont let your dog think that you call him to be punished. If that happens he would come hesitantly or not come at all. Your dog is always looking out for your disposition - both your tone of voice and countenance has great effects on his behavior.

Show him that you are pleased that he answered your call quickly; make some happy body movements like clapping your hands etc. Remember to use a high pitch voice when calling him to return, if you are not using the whistle. But ensure that your call does not sound threatening.

In teaching your dog the recall commands with the whistle, experts advise that you make him sit at a distance and then try recalling him with the whistle. Now, you do not have to start with very long distances, rather, increase short distances as he learns to respond to your recall. It is a proven fact that dogs obey better from a sitting position, so make your dog sit while imparting each new command, or a command that is difficult for it to grasp.

Finally, all I have been hitting at is that in teaching your dog distance recall with a whistle it is very vital that a cordial relationship exist between the two of you, if not, he could even take off from the distance. Nevertheless, recognize the possibility that success in dog training may not come as fast as you may anticipate, but relentless effort and consistency of commands will sooner than latter reward you with success.
