Yes, you could probably train your dog(s) to respond to that whistle.

But if you are training your dog in settled area or public part, it is less annoying to others if you use a silent dog whistle. A whistle-trained dog is easier to handle at a distance, in heavy cover, and when the wind is high. Whistle commands also keep from alerting game like verbal commands.

A common misunderstanding by the general public is that dogs respond to a whistle with little or no training. A dog that knows his verbal commands will usually pick up whistle signals easily. But if your dog does not obey your verbal commands there is no reason to think he will respond better to whistle commands.

Without training, whistles are like any other noise to your dog. A whistle command is a cue which the dog learns to associate with and eventually substitute for a verbal command. Whistle training is achieved by overlaying the whistle command once the verbal command is mastered and reinforcing the task in that manner with the whistle, until the verbal command may be omitted and the dog responds to the whistle only.
