What accessories for interaction with the pet can be easier to handle than an ordinary dog whistle? A sonorous, harsh whistle, perfectly audible even on the full sounds of nature, - and your dog's attention turns to you. But is everything so unambiguously unpretentious with this instrument, as it seems at a superficial glance? Let's figure it out.
Whistle Assignment
Most often, perhaps, the whistle is used to train dogs, replacing with their sounding this or that command , which could be given in voice. It is not so important what the animal trains - whether to perform simple actions on the sports ground, whether to guard something or to accompany people. Whistle is really multifunctional, and it is used not only by professional cynologists, but also by a considerable number of ordinary hosts.
If it is required that the dog lay down on the ground, use a rather long whistle without interruption. Two whistles in a row imply that the animal must pay attention to the owner and move in the direction indicated by him (lifting the left hand and turning the body to the left - the dog turns left, likewise the right turn is associated with the right hand and turning the body to the right). You can call your pet to yourself with frequent, short blows.
Of course, if you master the transfer of these three simple commands through a whistle, this does not yet guarantee you success in training. It takes time, patience and systematic work so that you and your pet learn to understand each other without words. But the whistles are different, and you have the opportunity to choose the one that is right for you.
What are the whistles for dogs?
In effect, the usual whistle for dogs is arranged in the same way as whistles used by military or regulators. The flow of air, passing through the hole in the whistle, is divided into two. The lower of the streams describes a circle inside the whistle and, with the reverse flow through the hole, directs the upper stream upward, not allowing part of it to enter the whistle. The cycle repeats when the airflow inside the whistle is exhausted.
However, if there is a need to use a whistle not just to summon a dog, then there is only one signal available that can be varied, except in terms of loudness, definitely not enough. So, there are whistles, the tonality of the sound of which can be adjusted. Lowering or increasing the tone of the whistle in them makes it more difficult to set the commands transmitted with their help.
There is also a whistle model, the existence of which is not easy to guess, based on banal ideas about this subject. A whistle for that and a whistle, that the air passing through it develops into a whistle we hear, is not it? This is true, but not if the sounds produced by the whistle are distinguishable only on an ultrasonic wave.
If you have a question, what is the use of such a whistle, then it is worth remembering that animals - including dogs - perceive the world of sounds in a larger volume and at a greater number of levels-frequencies than we humans do. Therefore, the signal of the whistle signal the dog discerns fine, but for those who want to stay in the relative silence of others it will turn out to be absolutely noiseless.
Also, this whistle will appreciate the hosts, whose dogs suffer from hearing impairments. Causes of deafness can be different: it can appear with age or as a result of some kind of trauma, and maybe even congenital. But the deafness of deafness is different, and if your pet does not react to the sound of your voice, it's possible that the sound at ultra frequencies is quite different. Therefore, an ultrasonic whistle can be used even for the training of deaf dogs.
