Dogit Silent Dog Whistle

The description of this item says that it's a "silent whistle." It fails at both.

(EDIT: The description of the item changed a few weeks after I bought it. It used to call itself a silent whistle, but not any more.)

First of all, in order to make any whistling sound at all, you have to blow very lightly, and the screw has to be more than halfway in. Otherwise the sound is what you get by blowing into a straw. It takes practice to even make a whistling sound from this thing.

Secondly, it is not silent. When a whistling sound is achieved, depending on where the screw is and how you blow, it's about 6-8 kHz, which is well within the limits of normal human hearing (up to 15-20 kHz). There is nothing silent about this.

You're better off buying a high-pitched human whistle. At least it will work.

PS, I used a frequency analyzer and not my ears to determine that this "whistle" sucks.

The Dogit dog training whistle helped me control my two Chihuahua's barking. Everytime they barked, I blew the whistle and they would stop. I guess they didn't like the ultra sonic sound it emitted. Every once in a while I have to reinforce their bad barking behavior, but it's getting to the point where I have to do that less and less. Great product for the price.

For any item not purchased directly from AMAZON, but offered through AMAZON by a store please find out the shipping costs. This simple Dog Whistle was purchased by me from PET SOLUTIONS. The one ounce whistle was packaged in a big box and they charged me $9 for shipping.

A smart choice would have been to use a bubble enevelop, and shipping would be under $2 and PET Solutions would have retained me a a customer.

At first I didn't get it either. But I learned how to use it and it works. I got this for a dog that liked to escape and play "chase me". I conditioned him to "come" when I blow the whistle three times, and now that he gets it, it works every time. You don't have to blow that hard, they hear it differently than we do, but they hear it. If you go into this thinking that you will blow it and they will do something, you don't know how to train a dog. Associate it with something like a treat, and yes, they will respond to it. I am buying this again because I lost mine, that's how much I depend on it.

Plain and simple... I've tried this on 6 different dogs and have adjusted the pitch up and down... no dog seems to even notice it.... Trash.
