This lightweight, compact, "silent" whistle is ideal for dog training, both indoors and out. It is also possible to alter the pitch of the whistle by using the adjustment screw. "Silent" whistles are particularly suited for training noise-sensitive breeds such as Border Collies. It should be noted that this whistle is just audible to the human ear, essential for gauging its efficiency.

Silent dog whistles have been around for decades, and although they produce a high frequency sound that dogs can hear quite clearly, the human ear hears only a hissing noise. The sound that you may hear is the rushing air through the whistle.  Like any dog training aid, a silent whistle can be used to reinforce obedience commands and teach the dog to associate the sound with the desired action. They can be used to stop a dog from barking but they alone will NOT stop a dog from misbehaving.

 

Q.   You say that Humans can't hear the whistle, but dogs can.  I hear this whistle all the time.

A.   The ad states that Humans can't hear the high pitch of the whistle, but that dogs can.  This dog whistle, as well as ALL silent dog whistles, do produce a secondary audible sound.  This sound is produced by the volume of air that goes across the whistle.  Blowing lightly on the whistle reduces the audible sound, and actually increases the ultra-sonic sound that dog's hear. 

Q.   I have blown on the whistle, adjusted it, and my dog doesn't notice.  This whistle must be defective.

A.   It could be that the dog does not recognize the sound as one to be alert about. Whistles, Clickers, even electric can openers are noises where trainers use the conditioned response test. Remember Pavlov's dog? In his experiment, Pavlov would ring a bell, then present the dog with food, the dog would salivate, then eat the food.  It only took a few tries, and when  he rang the bell, the dog would salivate without seeing the food! This same principle is used in training with the dog whistle. If you were to toot on the whistle before your dog goes out to the bathroom, after a few times you will find that your dog is  * * * Ready To Go !!! * * * 

Q. Will this whistle go through walls?  

A.  This is a common question I get.  I can blow on my whistle downstairs, and my Border Collie will come a runnin from upstairs.  The doors were open but I do think the whistle sound went through walls.

Q.  I want to get the neighbor's dogs to quit barking! Will this whistle do that?

A.   Maybe, maybe not.  If you blow on it and they stop, be sure to give them a reward to reinforce the training.

A World of Pups was founded in 1984 as a full service training facility in Brooklyn, NY. After being in business for several years and seeing clients bring in pups with an array of problems. We knew we could pick out better quality pups with the correct temperament for our clients needs.

When we began buying puppies for customers we knew just a good pup was not enough so we offered free lifetime training for all quality-of-life issues (like housebreaking, biting, chewing, jumping. etc.) This is still our policy today and, no matter where you live, we can still help you. With our free telephone consultation, and some common sense, training a puppy has never been easier.   I n 1986 we became a full line pet store.  We have thousands of products.  Most of our products have been tested by us on our own animals.  We were founded on loving animals and knowing everything we can about them.  You can feel confident with our products so please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
