you need a good recall or sit to whistle command. If he strays to far make him sit or recall. I prefer the sit to whislte command, when he sits, go over to him and praise or treat. About every 1/10 do a recall.
He should get used to a distance that he is allowed. This is how I started now I just say "that'll do"
