Sitting on the whistle

[hayse]

When I blow my whistle my dog sits good most of the time but he will not turn all the way around and look at me like I would like him to is there any way to fix this and when he thinks he found the bumper and I blow the whistle he will not sit. Any help on this would be great.

if he is collar conditioned then just nick him and he will sit. to get him to turn around just sit him and then give the here whistle and as soon as he turns around sit him again. do this a few times and he will figure it out.

i agree with deadbird05 on this one. i just now got my dog to sit on whistle. remember repitition and praise him when he does what he is supposed to do. good luck.

I appreciate that info I have been giving the here whistle then the sit whistle maybe its just going to take a little more time.

I started whistle sit by making her stay and walking off a decent distance facing her, verbal here, then whistle. That way she is looking at you when sitting. Now when I whistle sit she turns all the way around regardless. I guess she got used to sitting looking at me and now it's natural to her. Do note that it took several sessions before the light came on. Be patient, I can relate. Oh and take this for what it's worth, this is my first dog to train.
