If you’ve been around the herding world for longer than five minutes, you know all the cool kids whistle.
Now you can too!
But first...why Whistle Whistle?
“Whistle While You Work” felt a little too expected.
Also — Ted Lasso.
I love Ted Lasso.
And I love Roy.
Roy’s a complicated character — tough on the outside, soft and squishy on the inside. A crunchy marshmallow. I can relate.
He’s also a coach who DOESN’T use a whistle. Instead, he yells: “Whistle! Whistle!”
Roy… I can help you.
(Yes, I know this is a tangent. And that you’re not supposed to go off on tangents in marketing copy. But I love training dogs more than I love marketing rules.)
Ok. Back on track!
why did I build a whistle course? Because I want you to look cool. But more importantly I want you to get past:
"How do I make this thing sound useful?"
AND MOVE ON TO:
"Look how effortlessly I control my dog at a distance!"
Whistle! Whistle will help you:
- Pick the right whistle (and understand why it matters)
- Choose your commands with confidence
- Put your dog on whistles
- Know how to change a whistle cue later
At this point you're thinking it would be easier to learn to surf.
Maybe you've bought a new dog...
and want to change their whistles?
→ I've done that...badly! Learn from my mistakes.
Or
→Maybe your new dog doesn’t “get” your whistles — even though they’re the same ones their previous handler used. Watch my new dog Jag and I work together to help her figure things out.
And
→ If you’re just starting from scratch, watch how quickly Rye learns to go Come Bye on whistles for the first time — they really do pick it up fast when you know how.
Don’t be like Roy.
Learn to whistle.
Your dog will thank you.
Cool kids whistle.
Crunchy marshmallows do too.
Roy — seriously. Call me.
