Posted by carver on February 18, 2003 at 22:11:46:

I am trying to learn how to train a year old lab that we adopted about a month ago. He is doing very well. I have a problem with him now and then wanting to run a bit further than I want him to run. This is particularly a problem in the early morning when our neighbors would probably rather I not issue a sharp command to recall him. I wonder if a dog whistle would do the job there? I have never seen a dog whistle, let alone used one but am under the impression that it is something the dog would hear but not our neighbors. Do they work?

I have been advised to get a long lead and not let him run off the lead until he returns to me on comamd immediately 100% of the time. I will do that but I am still wondering whether a dog whistle would be worth trying?

Thanks for your help.
