whistle training

[phoebegirl]

Hi everyone, some of you may know I've taken home ebony. Just want a little advice on whistle training. My other dogs (apart from my deaf boy!!!!! ) are whistle trained for recall, I am introucing ebony to it but she appears to be afraid of the noise, should I wait a little longer until she is more trusting of me or should i not focus on training her with it, am i expecting too much too soon? thanks. Carole ps, otherwise we are doing great and she is already after 1 week a huge part of our lives

It may be worth trying a different tone of whistle for her? A bit of a bore having to remember 2 whistles but it might work.

thanks Nettie, im pretty sure my terriers would respond to any whistle so I could change it and retrain them thanks for the idea

hopefully you have this sorted, however on this site you can test several whistles to see which is the most effective/least frightening

Just tried this, first with a couple of frequencies my dogs are not trained to - nothing, tried 210.5 which is the whistle I do use, still nothing.

Tried the sounds and my two just slept on.
