 It worked for me January 3, 2010

Right out of the packaging, my small dog became hyper-attentive when I blew the whistle. I gave her the verbal "come" command and then blew the whistle. When she came to me, I rewarded her. It took about 10 - 15 minutes to have her "come" with the whistle only.
My dog's recall is difficult when she sees a biker. However, today, when she saw a biker and ran after the bike, I blew the whistle and she returned. She doesn't even do that for the verbal "come" command. There's something about this whistle that is commanding. It works at a much greater distance than I can yell.
As for the noise it makes, I hear a little air being blown through the whistle, but no high pitched sound. It seems decently built, but I probably would not put it on a key chain or carry it in a pocket with a lot of keys.
What a wonderful tool.
 Is not good enough July 5, 2009

I bought this to try to address the problem of my neighbour's barking dogs. I went red in the face blowing on the thing and the dogs were not affected, they didn't bark more nor less. I even connect the whistle with a 60 psi compressor to no avail.
 Excellent whistle. June 19, 2009

My hearing is exceptionally good. Everytime I blew this whistle I wanted to go somewhere. Seriously, since my dog has unimpaired hearing I simply set the tone to its highest pitch. Then I started by blowing it in the house and rewarding my dog when she realized where the sound was coming from. Gradually working distance into the training we ended up outdoors, still increasing the distance while decreasing the food reward. Now she comes anytime I use the whistle with no trouble. Yes, some people (me) can hear the highest tone. So what? It just means you have good hearing! Congratulations! But be careful how forcefully you blow it. You may not hear the increase in volume but your dog (and the dogs in the neighborhood) will. And it can be painful, so use it judiciously.
decent whistle, not exactly silent May 20, 2009

this is a fairly good whistle. i say fairly because it isn't silent, but it is pretty quiet. after you've trained your dog to respond to it you shouldn't have a problem getting your dog to come to you after it dissappears somewhere.
 Yoo-Hoo!! March 8, 2009

The best rating I can give this device is three stars. As a former teacher I see that as average. It makes the noise it's supposed to make. No more, no less. Nothing special happens. It gets a "C".
I bought the whistle in hopes that the ultra-high pitched sounds it produces would be heard by my aging dog. Well, I guess she's too far gone. But then, none of the dogs in the neighborhood responded when I blew on the whistle. So I really don't know what works best, my dog's ears or this inexpensive whistle that neither my dog nor I can hear.
