When I visited Ireland in the early 00s, I saw a man who trained his dogs like that to bring the sheep down from the hills. Each dog was trained for a different sound of whistles. It was so fascinating and fun to watch those dogs work. Even in the fog, when you couldn't really see where the sheep were at.
