One tool, every knob that matters. A recall works because the sound never changes. Yip gives you that consistency, then hands you the whole toolbox: a whistle you can tune to the hertz, a true recorded clicker, and cue patterns you author to the millisecond. Free general training guides ride along for when you want them — but the tools are the product. The multi-tool of training sound — honestly loud enough, and never louder. TUNE IT TO YOUR DOG - Four real whistle archetypes — crisp field pip, trial steady, rolling pea trill, gliding shepherd's lip — each playable live: touch and slide to blow. - A full tuner with three ways to dial a frequency: a focused scale, a fine fader, and a spinning dial. Bookmark the pitches that work. - A short A/B listen test helps you find the pitch your dog responds to; every dog keeps its own pitch, whistle, level, cues — even pronouns and age. - Nudge the base pitch mid-session, save per-dog presets, and set your working level under a hard safety cap. BUILD CUES, NOT JUST TONES - Author "three pips" or "one long blast" once — Yip replays it sample-accurately forever, with tone and gap timing down to the millisecond. - Record a whistle MOVE by how you play the on-screen whistle; it becomes a cue like any other. - Color-coded cue categories, favorites, and a configurable quickdial grid — plus an Apple Watch quickdial with a Double Tap gesture cue (on supported watches). A CLICKER THAT'S REALLY A CLICKER - An actual recorded trainer's clicker — press for click, lift for clack, with real mechanical timing. - Record your own clicker's true voice and give each dog its favorite. GUIDES ON THE SIDE, FREE - Optional, general training guidance that ships with the tools: short staged sessions (clicker first, whistle first, add the marker, or transfer from your brass whistle) and method articles in the Learn tab. - Use as much or as little as you like — the guides supplement the whistle and clicker and never gate them. Reward-based only, honest progress, sources cited in the app. No subscription, ever. HONEST BY DESIGN Phones can't produce true ultrasonic sound — so Yip never pretends to. It works in the band dogs hear most keenly, shows exactly what your device can produce, verifies tone accuracy, and caps output at a safe level you can't exceed. Dogs hear far more sensitively than we do; Yip is built for kind, reward-based training — never for annoying or harassing an animal. No account. No ads. No tracking. Works entirely offline. Bred for the field, at home in the city.
