20 Best Frequency For Dog Whistle (2023 Updated)

Its not better than expected but thats the only option given on the reviews now! You have to press yes or no. If you press yes they ask you why its better than expected. If you press no it sounds like a complaint.

Its a no-win situation for the purchaser. The product looks/feels good quality. Delivery was very quick but I havent actually tried it yet. So watch this space.

Needed a new whistle for my 13 week old fox red labrador so off to eBay it was. Many whistles to choose from with every price you could think of. Went for the Acme 535 as I’ve had one or two before. Managed to find one at a good reasonable price.

The Acme whistle arrived and is a genuine Acme product, brand new with all the packaging and instructions. The whistle was out of the packaging asap and as always with Acme branded items in the condition you would expect,”perfect!” It has a nice and sturdy feel to it and for me think it is one of the better models Acme sells.

You can change the tone on the 535 so its good for close work also far away commands, plus the added advantage of finding the right tone for your type of dog. In all a very good whistle that had my little labrador doing a five pip recall in about five minutes! I have and will buy again.

Highly Recommended product!.

Acme are a long-established British company. They have made whistles for the police, football referees, the trenches in WW1 and WW2. Also they have made fine quality dog whistles for control/behaviour, and also to command/direct/communicate with sheepdogs and working dogs.

I used this whistle to change the behaviour of a dog which has. barking/behavioural problems – it is a good training aid. The whistle is very well-made, better than generic imports – and it is built to last a lifetime.

As long as I dont lose this one, I wont need another. Buy British, buy the best. I recommend this product.

Lost the old dog whistle and bought this. I think it has a different frequency from the previous one but the dog has been responsive. It’s s nice colour and the lanyard is comfortable.

I’m NOT a hunter and don’t have gun dogs – had been using a whistle that was too loud (for humans), it worked great with my two Dalmatians but I used to deafen anyone nearby!! These work brilliantly and even though they’re plastic they are really tough.

Following a training session on recall, I decided to buy a couple of these whistles. We’ve been using them and it seems to be working! Nice bright colour and the sound is just right (not screechy like school whistles).

Once the standard of field trial trainers everywhere, now total garbage. I have literally purchased at least 50 of these whistles from various sources and every single one of them locks up under high pressure.

I guess if you’re blowing it softly to get Rovers attention 50 yards away it might work but we are training dogs are great distances. What was once one of the finest whistles out there is now not worth even buying.

I’ve contacted the company a couple times and all I get is crickets. Another discouraging American business example of charging the most while offering the least.

I have to admit this whistle was what I needed while outside when my yorkie puppy gets distracted and my voice was not getting his attention. He hears the whistle and immediately comes running toward me.

He also knows he will get a treat for good behavior well sometimes Lol.

My 15-year-old English setter still loves to run on our woodland trails, but she’s hard of hearing. I bought this because the more expensive metal whistles with sound in much higher ranges has been unavailable for some time.

It’s so loud that it hurts my ears.

This has got to be the worse thing I’ve ever bought. The whistlle sound is so weak and pathetic. Then it says you can “adjust it to suit your dog” but doesn’t say how. Is it by unscrewing it? Well no difference.

Trouble is once you unscrew it even a little, it gradually loosened and guess what, 4 days later came apart while around my neck and lost the bit. RIP off.

Dogs react to it very early in the training. I have 2 Springer Spaniels, a Staffordshire Terrier, and a Lurcher, and each of them obey to it. I had to glue the 2 parts of it using Super-Glue as they had a tendency to get unscrewed from each other.

Since then it works brilliantly but I cannot adjust the pitch. Instead, I say the name of which dog before giving a whistled command. There is a training guide in the form of a small leaflet. There is a ring to attach the whistle to a neck strap or else.

My Springers like to wander quite far from me, since I use the whistle, they always come back. Each of my dogs obey to the whistled commands within a maximum of 3/4 mn, even when they are busy running after sheep.

To echo other reviewers, this product is useless. it’s got a great secure looking chain but the actual whistle drops off after one walk. I called the store and they understood and told me to bring it in for a full refund.

When I arrived they were incredibly funny about it saying I should have read reviews. I would suggest that pets at home do not sell faulty products that are a choking hazard!.

Like everyone else bought it and it kept unscrewing. Luckily I found bits first few times but within a few days had lost main part. Useless it needs to be stopped being sold.

I found this item useless for my German shepherd, reason behind this was i had always used a 210 with him, it’s suprising how much a few decibels can change the whole attitude of my dog, also suprising how stupid I can be, a; in not ordering the right one in the first place.

And, b; how long it took me to realise my mistake. Now I have the correct 210, it’s amazing how quickly Baxter picked up on all his commands and tricks we took so long learning together. Thanks for the whistle they’re amazing how much difference it’s made, i would recommend them to anyone, they are strong enough to survive anything you can come across in use.

I would like to point out that when picking the shade of your Acme whistle; pick a bright colour, when you drop yours in the field ( and you will. ) you’ll be back on to Inner Wolf. For a new one. Sorry for going on but felt i should share how 99% of the time it’s your fault not your dogs 🐾🐾.

The whistle is lightweight and easy to carry around. It doesnt appear to work all the time. When it works the response is instant and the sound is just audible but a lot of the time its silent and no response from the dog at all.

Maybe this one is faulty or perhaps I should have bought the higher decibel?.

It’s a plastic whistle that makes a noise that dogs and people can hear. Our dogs came running the first time I blew it in the house. Whether or not they will come when loose outside, we will never know since we never let them off the leash.

we tried the whistle, to stop barking at people, golf carts, bicycles, and other dogs, without success. It’s a pretty solid little whistle, manufactured in the U. K. Whether it’s worth the price paid, is dependent on the degree of success that the purchaser has or has not enjoyed with dog training, relative to a purchasers initial hopes and expectations.

RKB.

This is helping with her recall; what with her being a terrier, she doesn’t want to come back if she’s got her mind on something else.

Good quality small dog whistle which fits on a key ring and ideal if you cannot naturally whistle loud for recall.

Easy to use with ring to attach to keys

After Thanksgiving on a very cold day I was out pheasant hunting with my young Vizsla. This is his first year hunting. The dog is whistle trained. We were seeing no birds. Late in the morning my dog jumped a jack rabbit.

The temptation was just too much for him, and he took off after it. At the time I had a traditional metal whistle around my neck. I instinctively put the whistle to my mouth to whistle the dog back. I immediately realized this was a mistake as the whistle stuck to my lips like the boy at the flag pole in the movie Christmas Story.

I pulled off the whistle and bled like a stuck pig. That pretty much ended the hunt. When I got home I went on the internet to find a plastic whistle. I checked out various ones. But this was the best buy and had high ratings.

I ordered it on line from Bass Pro Shops had it in a couple of days. I use it every time I take the dog out regardless of the weather. He responds well and I don’t have to worry about it getting stuck to my lips.

I would recommend this to any bird dog handle but especially is you live in colder areas.

I wanted to start recall training from scratch with my pack and thought what better cue than a whistle, it’s loud, consistent, and easy! Not this whistle. It makes a pitiful noise 90% of the time I blow it and the dogs are more confused by the sound than interested in it.

Not a consistent noise either as sometimes it’s loud and sometimes it’s more pitiful than usual. Definitely going to be looking for a different whistle.

At first I was skeptical about this whistle after reading the negative reviews. I decided to buy one and give it a try for my self. Our German Shepherd responded immediately at the first blow. The whistle isnt silent but not to loud depending on how hard you blow into it.

You shouldnt blow very hard except when your dog is far-away or you could hurt your dog. Im sure your dog will hear it just fine its a great whistle I do recommend it for training dogs. A happy customer.

Excellent training whistle, seems to work better for my dogs than the ultra high frequency that is basically inaudible (mainly due to longer distances involved). If you need the ability to get the dogs attention from further away this works great! Very well made, basically indestructible.

Hang it from your neck, or small enough to fit in a pocket, works as intended and is inexpensive also.

A nicely made, solidly constructed horn whistle with a good loud sound from both ends, one having a “pea”.

Replace for lost one. Good two tone. Louder than previous

Well made training whistle loud sound double ended good value

As an avid outdoorsman with athletic dogs, I was looking for something to help me keep track of my dog’s health-making sure they stay hydrated and seeing how far they traveled. I also have a dog with allergies, so I thought this would be an excellent way to make sure he wasn’t itching more and wasn’t getting an infection.

The technology in the device seemed to work okay, but the technology cannot work if it will not stay on the dog. If my dog would itch her ear, the device would fall off. The metal D-ring would slide through the plastic loop (the velcro never came undone).

I felt I was spending more time worrying about losing the device than actually using it. Finally, the device is lost somewhere in a field and my subscription is canceled. Even worse, customer service would not do anything about it except give me 20% off a different device to try.

Guess I will be going to the competitor! For anyone that has dogs that leave the yard and house, this is not the device for you.

We really enjoyed this while it lasted for us. It was great to see insights into our 11 month old pup’s day to day. Especially, when if he’s getting enough sleep or exercised has always been a concern for us.

I love the portion control piece, as well. It’s been helpful with not having clear insight to his adult weight. Reminders are another huge thing for me. Previously, I’ve used google calendar, but I’ve missed reminders in the past.

I’ve set a reminder for up coming appointments and the flea/tick/heart-worm medication. I wish the velcro band on it was a bit stronger. We were playing with one of our dog friends who likes to wrestle with collars and harness.

He ended up yanking off the device and chomping it to pieces. I reached out to support about it being damaged but haven’t heard a word back yet. As a UX designer, I have a lot little tweaks I’d love to recommend to the team to make it a bit more of an intuitive experience.

My Boxer Dog, Jefe, and I were part of a testing group along with our Vet. We’ve had the Whistle for almost 3 years now, and Love it! Jefe actually knocked the first two whistles off his collar, then proceeded to chew on them a little, but each time I was able to reach out to customer service, informing them of the incident, and of course included pictures of my “innocent” dog that had no idea how the Whistle broke! 🙃 Both times customer service was quick to assist me and send us a new Whistle.

The current one has lasted us the longest due to the more sturdy way it is attached to his collar. I enjoy knowing the information Whistle tracks and shares especially since this is my first Boxer to own and I know they can have some health issues.

Forever Thank You to Whistle, I take better care of this and pay more attention to it than I do my personal FitBit.

We had two plastic whistles we purchased for training our Spinone hunters, one each for us. One got lost and the other is almost doing the job but frankly limping along. I am so pleased I lost my plastic whistle because this little lady is the perfect whistle to grab attention.

Hero is totally sold on coming back to a whistle sound whereas his brother Ralph is rather easily distracted. Well Ralph nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard the command of the pea! Our little puppy Trousers also heard this whistle for the first time today (he is a very confident small terrier chap who often pretends he can’t hear a word when he has a toy) well whistle blown and toy dropped and immediate attention.

I know it seems expensive but golly I think this is the Patron Saint for all whistle blowers! Highly recommended.

I had an Acme Thunderer whistle as a teenage lifeguard – it was the best. Eventually the pea degraded and I couldn’t find one again; then Orvis advertised having the Acme Thunderer. I had to have one – these whistles have a sharp, far reaching sound without hurting your ears.

My lab runs free in the fields and woods. No leash needed there. This whistle carries through the terrain and wind. My dog knows where i am and where to come. No more hollering. just two short pops on the whistle and a here he comes! Well made.
