Review on Ortz Dog Whistle Stop Barking by Amber Chavez

There is some confusion as to what/how this tool works. It absolutely works. Continue reading. A decent tool for the price. It's configurable to set or change pitch and feels solid. It also comes with its own plastic half cap. Keep this in mind; It is NOT intended to automatically "mean" your dog without using conditioning techniques to make the sound a conditioned stimulus. Yes, the dog can hear it without training. This is not a problem. Training teaches the dog that the sound means something and they should respond in a certain way (whatever you choose) when they hear it. I see from some of the reviews here that some people blowing that whistle automatically make their dog do something. If you are SUPER LUCKY, the novelty of the sound may have your dog reacting in some way (come to you. Stop barking for a moment, as two examples). If the answer is what you're looking for, and you reward that answer (whether you realize it or not) with enough VALUE, that behavior will persist on subsequent attempts. Don't rely on luck, however. Get ready to have some practice to make your dog behave the way you want with the whistle.
