	== Steps ==		== Steps ==
−	# Go to the closest pet store. (e.g. Petco, Petsmart, etc.)	+	#Head to the nearest pet store. For example, a Petco, Petsmart, Bosley's, even Walmart. You may have to visit a few different stores before you find a whistle you like.
−	# Look in the dog training section if there is one.  If there isn't, ask an employee where to find a dog whistle.	+	#Head to the dog training section. Don't waste your time searching through the dry food, the dog beds, and even the cat toys; ask an employee where the training tools are located.
−	# Decide which type of whistle works best for you and your dog.  Different whistles have different volumes and distances for which they work. Whistles can have a pea (the tiny ball inside the whistle) or not.  A silent whistle may work better for you than a loud one.	+	#*You can try asking the employee about where the whistles are located, but they probably will know just as much as you do.
−	# Whichever whistle you choose, try to use the same tones so your dog will understand what you are trying to say.  Also remember, no whistle will work without training your dog to know what command the whistle means.	+	#Decide on a whistle. There are many different whistles, and they all have different volumes, pitches, sounds, and range; take all of these factors into consideration, and pick the whistle that will best fit you and your dog.
−		+	#*There is also "silent" whistles, or "dog whistles"; your dog can hear these whistles clearly, but you cannot. Decide if this would work for you or not.
−	== Warnings ==	+	#Start using the whistle. If you want your dog to associate the whistle with "fetching", for example, then only use the whistle when it is time to "fetch". Never use the whistle in conjunction with punishment, as your dog will remember "whistle" with "bad".
−	* A whistle will have little to no effect on an untrained dog.  It might provide a momentary distraction, but it won't command them to do anything.	+	#*No matter which whistle you choose, it will not work unless you properly train your dog.
