Silent dog whistles give off a higher pitched noise than humans can hear, making dog whistles an excellent way to communicate with your dog without disturbing other people. Dog whistles also provide many other benefits, including the ability to communicate with your dog over long distances, consistency of command tone, and the attention-grabbing nature of a dog whistle. Although whistle training has traditionally been used by shepherds or gun dog trainers, silent dog whistles represent a great resource for any pet owner.

Low Noise Impact
-
Since humans can't hear dog whistles, they provide a great option if you live in a quiet residential area or want to avoid disrupting others at parks. A silent dog whistle is much less disruptive than shouted commands and is still an effective way of training and communicating with your dog.
Communication over Large Distances
-
Dog whistles also allow communication over greater distances than the human voice does. Although factors such as wind, rain, and sources of noise (for example, traffic) that decrease the range of the human voice will also decrease the range of a dog whistle, dog whistles will still prove much more penetrating than the human voice. Dog whistles also won't get tired or become hoarse after a long day.
Consistency of Command Tone
-
Dog whistles sound the same each time you blow them. This consistency in tone contrasts sharply with the human voice, which varies by emotion and by who is speaking. Training your dog to a dog whistle can help your dog respond well to different trainers and also allows you to command your dog without emotion. A dog whistle will never sound angry, and your dog will never be confused because of your tone of voice.
Attention-Grabbing Whistles
-
Dog whistles also provide a more attention-grabbing sound than that of the human voice since dog whistles have very high frequencies, and dogs instinctively respond to these frequencies.
