I've never used one, but would he be able to hear that better then a sound that we can also hear? Just another thought...don't know if it would work or not. I don't know, Anne. I wish I did! Does anyone have experience with these whistles and a dog who is almost fully deaf (not quite)?

I'll look online tomorrow for a sharp-sounding whistle that won't make the neighbors rise up with pitchforks and torches and come to kill me. (All of this is inside my yard, of course, since they aren't off-leash outside it.)

He can hear it and turns his head to look when two large glass plates fall to the floor together and crash into a zillion pieces! Hard to turn that into a marker.
