Dog whistles play a vital role in the training process. There are different types of dog whistles available in the market having varied pitches.

Slip leads are needed at the initial stage when you need to keep control over your dog and prevent it from running away or disobeying you. However, with training and time, the use of slip leads should be completely stopped.
