with the rest of the family. I promise this is/was not meant to infer that my family is a bunch of obedient dogs.

I trained the dogs to come to me when I use a distinct whistle. One time we were in a public place and I needed to get the family's attention. I couldn't do it, so I thought...'Well, they know the sound of the whistle I use for the dogs, so...'

So I tried it. They all immediately turned to me. It was actually pretty funny and we all laughed about it.

Now we all use it if we're in a similar situation.
