A Reader Asks…
How does one use the whistle when training a dog? To tell him “what to do” (blowing the whistle, and saying the command come, for example) or “what NOT to do”, lets say if the dog is nipping your trousers legs and you want him to stop?

You don’t need a whistle!! just basic training
I heard that silent whistles can hurt dogs ears!
When the dog nips at your trouser legs say No! (not yelling but firmly)
and walk away with no eye contact.
I have a standard whistle only used for one thing – far away recall.
If you are looking for something to make noise when he does something good – then try a clicker.
I agree with Greekman on this, I hate silent whistles too. I bought one and it didn’t work. Stick to commands, or at least, audible whistles.
I only use whistles for “come” when the dog is far away.
The whistle is better utilized for distance work when your voice may not be heard as clearly. I hate silent whistles…if I cannot hear it, I cannot be 100% sure that my dog did and I cannot therefore correct a mistake or disobedience!
Stay with voice commands for now. Hope I helped!
