The frequency of most dog whistles is within the range of 23 to 54 kHz, so it is above the range of human hearing. To find the best frequency for your dog, it is recommended to start at the low end of the range (23 kHz) and gradually increase until you find a frequency your dog responds to. You can also try adjusting the frequency of the whistle based on the size and breed of your dog, as certain dogs may respond better to higher or lower frequencies.
What is the difference between a 210.5 and 211.5 whistle?
The main difference between a 210.5 and 211.5 whistle is the frequency of the sound they produce. The 210.5 produces a higher frequency sound, while the 211.5 produces a lower frequency sound. The higher frequency sound of the 210.5 is better suited for spaniels, while the lower frequency sound of the 211.5 is better suited for other breeds such as Labradors. Additionally, the 210.5 whistle is often used for obedience training, while the 211.5 whistle is more commonly used for recall.
Do high frequency dog whistles work?
Yes, high frequency dog whistles can be an effective training tool if used properly. The sound of the whistle is too high pitched for humans to hear, but dogs can hear frequencies up to 70-100 kHz, making them perfect for training. The sound of the whistle should start off soft and gradually increase in volume until the dog responds to the sound. This will help the dog to associate the sound of the whistle with a desired behavior. Additionally, it is important to reward the dog for responding to the whistle with treats or praise.
What frequency is best for dog training?
The best frequency for dog training is between 15-17 kHz. This frequency range is most easily heard by middle-aged adults, and is also audible to children and cats. For dogs, the frequency range should be between 23-54 kHz. Using a dog whistle in this range can help you to train your dog effectively and efficiently.
What frequency will hurt a dog’s ears?
Sounds can become uncomfortable for dogs around 25,000 Hz. The rule of thumb is the higher the frequency and the louder the noise (or higher the decibel level), the more likely it is to hurt a dog’s ears.
