Whistle Training for Dogs:Dogo Reviews

Dog whistle is a great tool to train dogs at a distance when instead of shouting the command out loud, you play a whistle pattern.

After a few days of doing 20 repetitions/ day, play the pattern and once your dog sits down, reward with a jackpot! Do the same with different commands, e.g. down/ come just choose a different sound pattern.

Once your dog has mastered it, assign a whistle pattern that will represent the command.

In the beginning, always combine whistle pattern with the verbal cue.

Play the pattern, e.g. 2 short taps, say sit and reward your dog for performing.

Use dog whistle only sparingly, tap only in conjunction with a reward.

You have to teach your dog what the whistle sound means.

First, you can use a whistle to mark the behaviour, as “good job”.

Tap the whistle, give a treat, tap the whistle give a treat, etc.

Second, with the help of Dogo - dog training app, teach your dog some obedience commands, e.g. sit or lay down.

Dogs typically can detect sounds between 67-45,000 Hz, while humans can detect sounds between 64-23,000 Hz.

If they don’t seem to like it, get tense, run way, tuck the tail, consider abandoning the method altogether.

This way your dog will start making a positive association with it.

Wait until your pup is asleep, then test each tone.
