210.5 Acme Whistles - Purple

This is a great whistle. Very loud and high-pitched to carry very far. I've been training my dogs to come to two tweets (eventually I want to progress to one tweet = sit and STAY, two tweets = come) and this past weekend had it with me when we went camping with a large group of friends and 8 dogs. at one point some strangers neared our camp and the whole pack went to investigate - way on the other side of the clearing. while everyone else was ineffectively yelling at their dogs to come back I blew the whistle and my two came racing back (followed by a few of the other dogs who seemed curious). The sound of the whistle definitely carried over the mass of voices, and even cut through the pack intensity to distract my dogs from their investigation of the strangers. my friends were all impressed (although one told me to warn her next time - her ears were ringing!).This is not a silent whistle by any means! but it IS one that dogs pick up on quickly, and can hear even when there is lots of other noise and distractions.

Couldn't get a consistent sound from this one.

Load and my dogs respond to it nicely

This is overpriced, but works very well. Our dogs respond to it right away. It is piercing and loud, just what we need when the "girls" are romping. It beats paying $20 for other types, although I'd like to try one of those, too.

I returned this whistle. It has absolutely no affect on my dog, nor the three dogs that live next door to me. I have no idea why this item has as many good reviews as it does. Total ripoff.

No matter how many times we show her, our dog, Ginger, cannot blow this whistle.Just kidding. When we blow this whistle, Ginger really reacts. We have trained her to come to us when she hears it and she is richly rewarded for this behavior. She just goes crazy with excitement when she hears her special tone. No, it is not a silent whistle, nor does it have magical powers like the one used on Gilligan's Island that make everyone obey like a robot. Even if your dog's name is Ginger and she was named for a Gilligan's Island character, she will not automatically obey you when you blow this whistle. You have to train and reward in conjunction with the use of the whistle to get good results.We have purchased several so that we are never without our "Emergency Ginger Relocation System."

It's a solid whistle. One piece, plastic, and plenty loud/high-pitched enough for my dog. It's light enough to carry on a lanyard, and sturdy enough that I don't have to worry about breaking it. This is way better and more practical than the little two-piece metal whistle they sell at all the big pet stores.Dog whistles aren't magic. Your dog can hear it just fine. If you condition your dog to respond to the whistle, she will. But don't think you can buy this and have dogs automatically come (or go away, or be quiet, or whatever) when you blow it.

makes a discernible sound, was hoping for a silent dog whistle. Dog does respond, but it's not quite what I was looking for. Would probably not buy this again.
