whistles tricks?

Does anyone perform any whistle tricks? Like training your dog to follow a different command for each note? Get the neighbor's garage door to open?

I have a ferret that will climb me like a tree if I play whistle around him.

His name is Jesse.

He's a good guy.

Apparently, hunters origionally used whistle-like instruments to call their ferrets.

Taity, here in the USA, a polecat is a skunk. Are you referring to that or to another type of fauna?

I can do the octopus with the whistler of my band. No, it's not what you might think.

Just a random note: ferrets were domesticated some two thousand years ago from polecats on the European continent.
