I bought one and it didn't work. Stick to commands, or at least, audible whistles. I only use whistles for "come" when the dog is far away. I agree with Greekman on this, I hate silent whistles too.

I hate silent whistles...if I cannot hear it, I cannot be 100% sure that my dog did and I cannot therefore correct a mistake or disobedience! Stay with voice commands for now. Hope I helped!

When the dog nips at your trouser legs say No! (not yelling but firmly) and walk away with no eye contact. You don’t need a whistle!! just basic training
