Try giving whistle one blow (I'd combine it with a palm up hand signal too) and making her sit, do this before you feed her.......... she'll soon get the message !

Cant you just call the dog to you and blow the whistle a certain amount of times (my dogs come is 2 quick blows) and then eventually they will get the message that 2 quick blows equals come back

 

for sit it was get the hand signals going and blow whilst hand signalling

 

So yeah the poster above me was correct about the hand signals to whistle.

l give one pip with hand signal for the stop/sit this can also be done on the lead while at heel when walking

at heel stop blow one pip and command the dog to sit carry on with this untill you can do it off the lead

 

l use two pips to turn the dog left or right when hunting.

 

For the recall l sit me dog in front of me and command him to "come" and pip him 4/5 times

he will soon get the message start off with a short distance and slowly move futher away hope

that make sense
