Best Answer

Yes, only if used along with a proper training program. No one dog will take to the whistle right away a cycle of positive reinforcement along with the whistle needs to occur. The best thing is to try and associate the whistle with something good/bad depending on the type of training you are doing.

A dog whistle produces one note at a frequency which is too high for the human ear to hear but which can be heard easily by a dog. The dog can then be trained to respond to the whistle, coming back to their owner.

Why can a dog hear a dog whistle but a human can not?

There is a dog whistle that only dogs can hear because they can hear higher frequencies than humans. However, it has been found that both dogs and kids can hear, but adults can't. This is because as people age, they are not able to hear sounds above a certain frequency. The pitch, in other words, is too high for them. Being able to hear a dog whislte only means that you can hear higher frequencies.

How can you make a science project that demonstrates how a dogs hearing is better than a humans hearing?

Got a dog? Get one of those dog whistles from the pet store that farmers use. Humans can't hear them so when you whistle it a dog will hear it (and hopefully come) and humans won't. Good luck. That was some else's answer, im doing my project on how different types of music affect a dog's pulse, in this way i sort of learn how dog's hear certain pitches, but yes, somehow involve the whistle in that too if yoy'd like... just sort of an idea.... believe me i understand, i have had to do quite a few science fair projects myself :) =D =P =) ~Emily~
