Gun Dog Training Equipment: Dummies

Of the large number of Gun Dog Training Equipment, the gun dog whistle is perhaps one of the most essential pieces of equipment. The trainers show Gun Dogs that by blowing of a Dog Whistleare indicative to their being receiving something delicious. The sound of a whistle is unique not only to gun dogs but other animals including humans. However, just blowing a whistle cannot make gun dogs do what their trainers expect them to do. It may be effective for the first time, but after a while gun dogs get familiar with the whistle sound and respond to it like in any other sounds.

Knowing this, the trainers of gun dogs offer them something that gun dogs prefer every time the trainers blow the whistle. In this way, gun dogs get stimulated hearing the whistle sound and do what the trainers expect them to do. After some time, the dogs even without incentives may act upon their trainers commands at the sound of the whistle. The gun dog whistle is available in many sizes and designs. Some are more like horns than a whistle. Some are fixed with attractive chains while some are packed in beautiful boxes. For a gun dog lover this type of whistle can be a grand gift.
