Questions about Fluier
Can people hear the whistle?
Yes, at most pitches. Dogs hear high tones far better than people, and above about 16 kHz most adults hear little or nothing, but the sound isn't silent, and phone speakers stop at about 20 kHz. No phone can play a truly silent whistle.
Which pitch should I use?
Pick one pitch and one signal for each command and keep them: using the same signal every time matters more than the pitch. The Medium and High presets, 4 and 6 kHz, are easy for you to hear too, so you always know the whistle sounded.
Why do I need treats?
The click and the whistle only mean something because a reward follows. The first lessons teach your dog exactly that, and every lesson after them builds on it.
How long should a training session be?
About five minutes. Each lesson suggests a length, from 3 to 8 minutes, and a number of good tries to aim for. End while your dog is still keen.
Is Fluier for barking problems?
No. Fluier is a reward-based training tool: it helps you teach your dog what a signal means. For barking, anxiety or aggression, please see a qualified trainer or vet.
Can I whistle with Siri or from the Lock Screen?
Yes. Say “Whistle for my dog with Fluier” to open the app and play the recall signal. Whistle and Clicker buttons can go in Control Center, on the Lock Screen or on the Action button, and there's a Home Screen and Lock Screen widget.
Does Fluier need an account or the internet?
No. Your dogs and sessions stay on your device. There are no ads and no tracking.
Is Fluier free?
Yes. The whistle with every signal, the clicker, the Clicker basics lessons, the first recall lesson and your training log are free with no limits. Fluier Premium adds every other training program and several dogs.
