How does it work?
Dogs are capable of hearing sounds at much higher frequencies than people. A dog whistle works by emitting a high frequency tone in a range that a dog does not ordinarily encounter. The highest frequency a normal middle aged human can hear is 12,000-14,000 Hz, so don’t be alarmed if you can’t hear all of the tones yourself. These high frequency tones have the effect of immediately getting a dog’s attention. Dog whistles are typically used as part of a training routine designed to train your dog to do tricks or for behavior modification. A pure tone is much easier for a dog to distinguish compared to verbal commands. Different sound patterns can be used to trigger different responses. For example, two short bursts could mean stop and one long burst could mean lie down. The bark detector feature of this application triggers a tone when the sound level exceeds a threshold. This feature, in addition to training, can be used to help you train your dog to stop barking. Dog whistles are great training tools and has been used successfully with all breeds.

How do you tune your dog whistle?
One method is to adjust the frequency of the tone, while your dog is sleeping, until your dog’s ears perk up. When this happens you have found a frequency that your dog is sensitive to.

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY.
Please note that dogs may not have an intrinsic response to high frequency tones such as those used in this application. Therefore, you must train your dog to respond to the tones much like you would train your dog to respond to verbal commands. Through this training, many dogs will develop a conditioned response to respond in accordance with its training when it hears the tone. If your dog is not trained to respond to the tone, your dog may not respond to the tone. Recognize the possibility that success in dog training may not come as fast as you may anticipate, but relentless effort and consistency of commands will sooner than later reward you with success. Please consider this before purchasing our application.

Pros and cons of Dog Whistle app for iPhone and iPad

Dog Whistle app good for

Ive got an iPhone !!! It works perfectly !!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH !
I could hear the full range of sounds on this app, of course when I went in to get my hearing checked and went into the soundproof room I could hear them talking. Guess I was off the charts in all his 30 years of practise. As a kid I used to have to cover my ears when entering the mall cause the security system emitted a very high squeeling pitch, much higher then this. Im sure others will hear it all too. Got this app when it was free but it didnt show in my list till today. Pretty cool app and I bet might be good for training a animal.
I bought this app not expecting much, but thought it would be cool to try. My dog was in the room when I started playing with the app. My iPhone was set to the highest volume level. I might have scared her by starting off at such a high volume level because she tries to find a place to hide when I activate it. So, instead of training her to come at the sound, I decided to try to get her to stop barking at the TV. I enabled the bark detector feature and set it up to make a 17.3 kHz tone (1000 Hz Oscillation). I turned on the TV at a nice low volume level. She started barking, and wiithin 30 seconds, she figured out that her barking was making the whistle happen and she stopped barking at the TV. Now she just watches the TV and wines when she sees a dog on it. I dont even need to have the app enabled anymore and she doesnt bark at the TV. I might try to select a different tone or modulation to train her to come, but for now, we got far more than our moneys worth on this thing. I dont know why anyone would rate this poorly unless their i____ device doesnt have a speaker (or the speaker has a reduced high frequency range). One other cool thing I found is that my kids can here many of the tones (15 khz for example) that I cant hear. Maybe I can train them to clean their rooms with it :)
it did work , but its funny because it worked on my cat more than my dog, my dog would run and my cat would come to me jumping for it
Works as it should. Both if my dogs respond quite well to the sounds.
Although it doesnt train my dog, (it just makes him run like crazy) I just use it to annoy friends and family. Thanks!

Some bad moments

Looks like a really cool app, However I too didnt realize that is was just for the iPhone. would be nice if when there is an update that it will work with the iTouch too.
I have four dogs at my house and not one of them responded to this so called Dog Whistle. Would be a near idea but it just doesnt work
What a waste of time. Doesnt work at all even on the iPhone. My dog didnt even look in my direction or react in any way. Tried many times including while she was sleeping. This is a scam!!
I purchased App and took my chances... Only 99 cents but worthless. Dogs do not react in any way. Waste of money
Doesnt work because it CANT work. The iPhone speakers cant produce sounds that high pitched. In fact to produce sounds in that frequency you would have to have specialized speakers.
I purchased this and sadly doesnt work on my dogs. In fact they look at me as though I am crazy and my ears hurt. On the plus side... ...My dogs have me coming,sitting and staying very well. They cheap out on me though and give no treat rewards.
