Has anyboby used a whistle for training on here for any of their boxers? I have started to give it a try, cuz my male does not like to come back if he gets out or is off the lead. He's not doing bad so far just room to room in the house. Anybody with any tips would be great.

So far He comes to the whistle real good in the house, I havnt tried it outside yet, then again we are only on day 2 of trying this, and so far I am very pleased with his progress. About every 30 - 45 mins I give a few toots on it and when he comes he gets lots of praise and and a yummy treat. So far so good, hopefuly it gets a little bit warmer soon and we'll take it outside in a fenced in area.

Well we tried it outside and he came twice then got sidetracked by a car going down the road and wanted to go see what my neighbor was doing!!!! He still responds GREAT in the house to the whistle just outside there are much more interesting things outside then me. Then again he is only going to be 8 months feb 13th so he is still a young-in....... Like they say practice makes perfect. Isn't it funny when they look at you with that look that they know what you want them to do but they just don't want to do it..... He's a smart dog tho.

I got a new whistle from ACME... and i cant say enough about it its a lot better then the ones that I had. I think he hears it a lot better and its a lot easier to use the the cheaper ones. still he is responing great in the house I just the weather in ohio was a little better! :evil:
