Dog Whistles are used in many ways to train your dog. Have them do tricks, obey commands, even come to you with a toot on the whistle. Yes it takes work, and this is only a tool to give a signal, or to reinforce a verbal or hand signal. Remember Pavlov's Dog? In his experiment, Pavlov presented food to a dog, then rang a bell. Now the dog started to salivate once he saw the food. But guess what, after a few times of doing this, Pavlov found when he just rang the bell without showing the food, the dog would still salivate. Dog whistles work the same way. It is a signal or command for a dog to do things. Now get out there and train that dog!
