Allie+Tess&Kipp Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 This thing supposedly beeps and then you train your dog that the beep means food, and thus you train the dog to come when they hear the beep. I thought having an alternative for when I am at the beach and can't shout loud enough to be heard would be nice.

MaggieDog Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 A whistle would work just as well and is probably cheaper and can be heard at larger distances... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelb'smum Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 OOO get a dog whistle and if a whistle there is a coller that beeps and you can train them to recall with that, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat's Dogs Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 The herding whistles are really cool though!! You can make all kinds of goofy sounds. I don't see why it wouldn't work. But you could train a dog to come to ANYTHING! Maybe.....the ringtone on a cellphone....or....a air horn thing....Think of the fun you could have!

Alicia Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Cell phone could be dangerous lol what if someone else has that same ringtone? That could be bad. I'd think of some sort of sound thats not easily repeated by just anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
