My dog is losing her hearing, but this whistle works really well to get her to look at me for hand signals. It also works well to get the attention of my other dogs when they are distracted by something and ignore my voice. Silences the neighbors' barking dog too.

Makes a hell of a noise, but is as annoying to me as to the dog! I bought this thinking it was one of those high pitched things that only animals can hear. Won't use it much, unless I decide to put on some ear plugs!

This whistle is LOUD - so loud that I didn't find it very usable even in a decent-sized park in the city.

I think there could be a bit more variability in the tones, and it is nearly impossible to tell which side has the ball and which doesn't - not ideal when you want to act fast. The shape of one side should be different or there should be some other way to quickly tell them apart.

NOTE: The point of this whistle is NOT to stop barking - it is to signal your dog. If you want to stop barking, it should be a part of more comprehensive training. Look up books by Karen Pryor to get started.
