Darrin here from On Command, working with my young retriever Boone on recall and remote sit (whistle sit). At the start of this session, Boone’s recalls are loopy and wide—something that will cause real problems if I try to stack a reliable remote sit on top of it. In this video, you’ll see how I break the training down: first tightening up Boone’s recall with clean 180° turns, then layering in the sit whistle at increasing distances. Key takeaways: Why a sloppy recall makes remote sits harder How to use a place board to set up clean, repeatable reps Why all rewards come from me (not behind the dog) to build fast, enthusiastic turns How recall and remote sit are really the same skill—just two versions of a 180° turn Whether you’re working toward a rock-solid hunting retriever, hunt test success, or just a dog that comes back fast when called, this video will help you troubleshoot recall and whistle sit step by step.
