Dog owners with whistles

[Dontwakeme]

My House and garden backs onto a beautiful walking park area with path . I love seeing people over my fence out walking , enjoying the flowers etc. No issue, lived here 15 years no problems. However this summer a couple have taken to training their poor little dog with a high pitch whistle right outside the rear of my property EVERY SINGLE MORNING AND EVENING AT 8am and 8pm.
they both stand right outside about 30 feet away from each other whistling back and forth while the poor dog tries to figure out what the hell they want him to do.
The high pitch noise goes absolutely through me and I am sick of it, it disturbs putting my kids to bed as I have to listen to the toddler ask what’s that 19374783 times everytime they hear it. So yes it’s a public park I get that but AIBU to find this so annoying that these people have picked right outside my garden as their favourite spot?
my options to deal with this,
1: go out to park when they are there and kindly ask them to change up their training location now and again?
2.Spray paint/ poster onto the back of my fence “ no whistles”
3.buy a whistle and every time they blow theirs I blow mine - passive aggressive at it’s best.
any other creative suggestions welcome!

I wouldn't buy them one but be polite - they'll probably be fine if you explain children going to sleep. Then suggest the silent ones. Good luck!

I'd explain about the night time, and ask if they could do it further away where it won't disturb anyone.

But agree with pp that training your dog has got to be better than not doing it.

3 month old thread.

3month old thread this is but sadly the dog is not yet trained!! We had a reprieve in September after a group of walkers including original whistler gathered behind my fence with their dogs barking like crazy while they chatted and whistle blew for over an hour one night at 8:30pm. That evening I did ask them to move along please children bedtime etc- got no verbal response but they did move. Seemed quieter in sept but back in oct once a day, just learned to put up with it and the kids also used to it so less irritating than at the start!! Good luck to others also impacted.

If you start whistle training then you can't really stop. It's not something we ever did because i didn't want to be short a whistle and unable to be sure my dog could respond so he's voice and hand sign trained. I would just pop over and say to them, if it was us I'd be thinking I'm in a park and not bothering anyone but wouldn't hesitate to go elsewhere if it was bothering someone. The dog will need practice learning in different locations anyways so I can't see them having too much of a problem switching it up.
