Whistle training remains one of the most effective means of training your dog. In fact, it has become accepted among dog trainers and companion dog owners who want better control of their dogs at a distance, or in windy conditions.

In England, gun dog trainers began using dog whistles to reduce the verbal noise associated with issuing commands to the dogs while hunting.

Hunters and trainers alike understand that nothing alarms query like the human voice. As a result, dog whistles where incorporated into many gun dog training programs. An added benefit of using a whistle to train a dog is the fact that high frequencies can be heard at a much greater distance than the human voice.
