Perfecting the Stop Whistle
The stop whistle is an invaluable command for controlling your gundog at a distance. Whether to prevent them from chasing after a hare or to redirect their focus, mastering this skill is a game-changer.
Training Tips:
- Start with proximity: Begin training close to your dog, using a whistle paired with a hand signal. Reward them when they stop and sit immediately.
- Increase distance gradually: Once your dog understands the command, practice it at greater distances in open fields or training grounds.
- Use real scenarios: During walks or training sessions, use the stop whistle in unexpected situations to reinforce its importance. For example, blow the whistle when your dog is mid-retrieve and reward them for stopping promptly.
