Is there any chance an elderly dog who is mostly deaf might hear and respond to this whistle?

All I can say is that I've had no luck whatsoever with this whistle with any dog at all. You can change the volume by sliding the two pieces in and out. I've tried that. My cats can hear it, perk up their ears and then sit/lie back down. That's the only response I ever get. I'm sure the dogs can hear it, but responding? I doubt it. Just my experience.

I don't know about dogs but humans lose high frequency hearing first when hearing damage begins. A dog whistle is very high frequency so...

It's fairly loud, I would say yes that he would be able to hear it. My mother doesn't hear all that well and she can hear it.

The pet convincer is more for close use. If the dog is very sensitive to the noise it might work. You may want to consider a bull horn for that distance.

My 3 dogs got used to the noise quickly. I don't have a high pitched whistle that we notice. It is noisy . I use it on a table(Grooming).It is also on a mat on the table. I would return it and ask for a new one.

No beep that I have heard. It has a red light that indicates it is on. It does make a light clicking noise when it is through toasting and it brings the bread up but have yet to hear any beeps. Can't imagine that the noise it makes should alarm your dog.

I would say yes. I purchased this for the reason that my dogs like to bark. Once they hear the beep they stop. Same with getting into my flowers. They hear the beep and they get out. I would recommend this product

I have not tried the out door version but the indoor version stops my dog from barking right away. So maybe the out door version pointed towards neighbors house? Or if you are on go terms with the neighbor suggest the Outdoor version of this Petsafe Ultrasonic to them. However, I have found that some older dogs do not seem to hear or respond to the tone possibly do to age related hearing loss.

There could be several things. Did the red light show that it was working? Is it possible that your dog has a bit of a hearing problem? My dog stopped and looked at me. I immediately praised her for not barking. Within in a few days, she had stopped barking most of the time, even when other dogs were barking. After about two weeks, she didn't seem as impressed with the sound; but by then, she had improved so much that I am completely satisfied. It seems to have taught her that strangers are alright on walks (or at the front door). She walks right by most people although close bicyclists can still scare her. There could be several things.

I am not sure. ...my dog is trained and she comes back at the audible alarm...we actually had a different one when we trained her and that one shocked for 15 seconds. ..If they stray and get shocked (during training) call them back...it should not take long for them to understand

I don't think so, however, I would ask your local Vet. He/she could tell you how sensitive their eardrums are.

For my purposes, it is quiet. But I just went over to see if I could hear it when I was listening for it. From a standing position in front of it, I can hear an ever so slight hum. If your dog's hearing is sharp, I would think she would be able to hear it.

I don't know if they can hear it. Is their hearing as good as a dog's? Anyway, I would still not try it on a horse. You don't know how they will respond if they do hear it. My dog is scared of it, and freaks out and runs away. If she was a horse, she would probably trample someone trying to get away.

I don't think I would hear it if I wan't in the same room... but it didn't work for us since the cockapoo we were trying to train was petrified of the bells... every now and then our Westie will nudge them when he already is leashed up and waiting for the door to open!

I'm not sure-depends on how sensitive your dog is and how close she is to you. My Lab can hear it through the walls and across the yard and will run to her dog house.

The device detects loud barking and responds by sending out a high frequency sound. There is a sensitivity setting on the device that you can adjust.

Yes, absolutely. It is a loud "psst" sound...there is no contact with the animal...just the sound.

I don't hear the water, but I'm a Senior Citizen and there is always other noise in the house, like the furnace, toilets flushing, and the ambient chaos of the six cats and one cocker spaniel. The water fountain is up on the counter to puppy-proof it, and all six cats find it and enjoy it. I think even a blind dog, given a dog's excellent hearing and sense of smell, could find this and would like it. it's worth a try and Amazon is terrific about returns if it doesn't work out. Good luck, and good for you for taking such good care of your special needs animal.--Pandamom
