• Ok?: Same as Stand (legacy)
• Command To Bed: Make all dogs return to their bed, if there's no bed, nothing will happen.
• Go Behind: Make all standing dogs run behind you.
• Tactical: Use this mode to command all of your dogs in Tactical Mode to start attacking a certain target. Achieved via aiming the whistle at the target and upon usage, this will shoot a projectile and a hit signifies attack to the dogs if the target is eligible.

• Heel By Name: Use this mode to command certain dogs to come to you, even when they are sitting. Upon usage, a GUI will be presented.

• To Bed: Commands all Dogs to return to their Claimed Bed if available nearby. Dogs having their claimed beds broken and replaced somewhere else will need to reclaim them, or else they will interpret the position where they last claimed the bed as the target position and will check based on it instead.

Trivia

• It was added in the original Doggy Talents.
• The Whistle Mode Changing User Interface was added in DTN 1.3.0beta since the old Mode Cycling method "has proven itself to be relatively annoying and unintuitive, by allowing a great chance of accidental mode switch and trigger".
