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 โgood jobโ.
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 donโt 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.
