Product Information

Dogs respond to even the quietest of whistles because they hear at a much higher frequency than humans. "Dogs and people hear about the same at low frequencies of sound (around 20Hz). This changes at high frequencies of sound, where dogs hear up to 70-100kHz, much better than people at only 20kHz," say scientists at the University of Adelaide in Australia, and dogs "hear sound frequencies at least three times as high compared to people." It may seem as if dogs react to a noise that's not there when, in reality, they're highly sensitive to something we can't hear.

This professional model, from well-respected brand, enables the trainer to create a crescendo of sound in tremendous variety. Many trainers consider this to be the ultimate in-tune communication with your dog. It does however require a certain technique that handlers need to learn. This is the most important question. Unfortunately, like with all other training techniques, that answer can only be given as a “maybe.” Be mindful of other animals in your home and surroundings, too. Cats hear high-frequency sounds even better than dogs and will respond accordingly. Always remember that what seems like a benign noise to you can be disruptive and uncomfortable for your dog (and cat). A dog whistle (also known as silent whistle or Galton's whistle) is a type of whistle that emits sound in the ultrasonic range, which humans cannot hear but some other animals can, including dogs and domestic cats, and is used in their training. It was invented in 1876 by Francis Galton and is mentioned in his book Inquiries into Human Faculty and Its Development, [1] in which he describes experiments to test the range of frequencies that could be heard by various animals, such as a house cat. As your dog responds, he will find the whistle’s distinct, high-pitched tone to be appealing. When he hears this, his attention will be diverted from the stimulus that causes him to bark for a few seconds, allowing him to stop barking.

#2 It backfires

Because dogs hear at a much higher frequency than humans, they're naturally more sensitive to sounds. Don't use the whistle close to their ears, and avoid blowing it at full strength. As Dr. Pippa Elliott, BVMS, MRCVS, writes for Petful, these "noises to the top of the dog's ability to hear can cause pain if they are loud enough. It's like the difference between a referee blowing a whistle on the football field versus blowing that same whistle directly in your ear." That's a big difference. There are many different types of dog training whistles available to buy and it can be daunting trying to figure out which is the best type for you. Practice using the whistle and breaking up the “trills” with your tongue. This will honestly make more sense when you have the whistle in your mouth! Practice when you’re not close to your dog or you’re going to confuse them and also it’s not great for their ears to hear this too often.

When it comes to finding ways to stop a neighbor’s dog from barking, many people turn to dog whistles. Dog whistles emit a high-pitched sound that is designed to get a dog’s attention and stop them from barking. While dog whistles can be effective in some cases, they are not a guarantee that a dog will stop barking. In fact, some dogs may even become more agitated and start barking more when they hear a dog whistle. For example, let’s say you are trying to train your dog not to bark, howl or whine using positive training methods. So if you are training a teensy pooch like a terrier, you might adjust the whistle frequency to sound at a higher pitch than what you would use to train a Labrador retriever. How to choose a dog whistle So while your dog will probably hear that 35,000 Hz whistle tone, he or she may not hear it nearly so well as you assume. This is both because these whistles offer you the option of using different frequencies for different commands and because they are designed to carry sound well over longer distances. The ACME Shepherd Mouth WhistleThere are two types of whistles to choose from: audible or silent — with "silent" in this case meaning silent for humans, not dogs. Some whistles are equipped with adjustable pitches, too. Training with a dog whistle, like all other forms of dog training, will take time. But it can be one of the most successful forms of communicating with your dog when you want them to perform a certain behavior or task. Other Purposes For Dog Whistles (Picture Credit: Getty Images/urbancow) Choosing the perfect dog whistle for your family pet or working dog is key to facilitating smooth training. Like with people, no two dogs are exactly alike and this can make it somewhat challenging to choose the right whistle to train with. Of course, the level your dog is trained to and the speed at which they make progress will depend on the amount of time that you invest in training as well as the aptitude of your dog, but choosing the right tools will give you both a great start. There are a number of things which will help you to choose the right whistle the first time, including the breed of dog and the kind of work you will be doing with them. Retrievers
