Dog Training Tips


  • Its an out of ordinary attention getter.

    Are you more prone to listen to someone talk in a drone tone of voice, or a high pitched bouncy peppy voice? Dogs' ears are attuned to hearing higher pitched sounds, so they are prone to looking and following that sound.


  • Its the tone of your voice,high pitched ( not a screech) is more happy & upbeat much more interesting to the dog rather than you talking in a drone tone of voice.

  • Not sure but many times a high pitched voice will excite a dog and make it nervous.A low pitch is usually used when you want to show dominance and be commanding .

  • High pitches hurt their ears and get their attention.
