Week Three: With your dog out of your sight just outside the room you are in blow a whistle and give your dog a treat and praise. To be done once a day for a week but not at the same time of day. (By this time your dog should be coming to you.)
Week Four: With your dog in another part of your house than where you are blow the whistle and give your dog a treat and praise. To be done once a day for a week but not at the same time of day.
Week Five: When your dog is outside in the yard and you are inside or by the door blow the whistle and give your dog a treat and praise. To be done once a day for a week but not at the same time of day.
