WHISTLE. SIT. TREAT

As your pup grows older it should, hopefully, understand that it sits when it hears the whistle. Now you can begin to develop this a bit further. However, do not overdo this or you can end up making the dog a bit sticky and it can start to anticipate the game. When he is ‘hunting’ about on the grass and is not looking at you, pip your whistle and hopefully the dog will spin round and sit. When this happens, immediately throw out a small biscuit as a reward. It never fails to amaze me how quickly a young dog connects the whistle, sit and treat.
