As long as you&#8217;re not blowing very loudly, for a long time, or directly in your dog&#8217;s ears or face, a dog whistle is a perfectly safe training tool to use. With proper use, it should not hurt or damage your dog&#8217;s ears or hearing. Still concerned? Talk with your veterinarian or consult a reputable dog trainer for best practices with a dog whistle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What should I use a dog whistle for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dog whistles, to our ears, sound like a pretty quiet hissing sound that we might hardly register. To a dog, however, it can be used as a highly effective training tool for obedience, hunting, and getting your pup&#8217;s attention. If you&#8217;re wanting to train your dog, a dog whistle might just be the tool you&#8217;re hoping for.
