Acme Whistle for pointer training
March 25, 2022
I have training labs my whole life and have always used the Roy Gonia Special whistles. I now have my first English Setter and wanted something a little more stealth in the upland woods. My dog responded well with just a couple training sessions. I bought 2 to ensure I always have one on my lanyard.

Not sure how to review this. My dog has never come when I call him. Well, eventually he does. This helps to speed up the "eventually" and the whole neighborhood knows he's out again.

Great everyday whistle. My go-to for most of what I need. I do also carry a thunder on my lanyard for those windy days when a little more distance might be required - but the Acme is something my dogs seem to hear and respond to, very well! Buy (6) and just put them everywhere. Keeps me out of trouble! (I care one as a part of my EDC, so often will lose one by laying it down somewhere besides my pocket. Oh....I often come across it again later and reclaim it, but better to have a spare and not need it, than not have a spare when you need one! ((It's hell to get old...!!))

I thought how much better can a whistle be, I was wrong. This is surely the best one!

This whistle is easy to blow, lightweight, and has a great tone. As a first time dog owner I wish I had a few more. I know the one I have will probably get lost before training is over.

Old version is way easier to blow. I have used the older version for many seasons. Used them to train, hunt and test my dogs. Guess I will leave my old one on the lanyard.

Acme 211.5 Dog Whistle
March 7, 2023
I have been greatly enjoying training my new lab pups. I have always just used my old faithful coaching whistle but the older I get, somehow my old ears just couldn't handle that pitch any more. While training with some friends, I noticed their whistles and how well their very well trained dogs responded to them. Upon asking about them they both said go to Gun Dog Supply and get the 211.5, dogs listen well and they are easy on your ears. So I did and they were absolutely correct. My dogs respond better than ever and no more ringing ears for me. I will order another for back up.

The best dog whistle

We bought our first Acme whistle over ten years ago and it's still something we use daily. Crisp, clear sound carries so much further than your voice. We have recommended these to non-hunting dog owners who want to improve their dog's recall.

I was using an Acme Thunderer the same as I used w my last two retrievers (Labs). I just got to not liking that loud blast and decided to try this. Easy on my ears and the family and neighbors but my dog (Golden Retriever now) responds just as well or better to this. He adjusted to the change in tone immediately. Seems to carry well.

Acme 210.5 Dog Whistle
March 30, 2022
I have been using these whistles for over 50 years. I GIVE one to each of my clients who buy a puppy from me because by the time my puppies are 6 weeks old I have already trained them to 'come' instantly to the whistle. Check out my web site. www.allenbykennels.com for my pure working/hunting English Springer Spaniels.

Great training whistle.

I purchased this to train a Miniature American Shepherd, for herding and general obedience. The whistle is great. It's not super loud, so it doesn't blow your eardrums or aggravate everyone within a 5 mile radius. My dog responded to it very well. Tried some other whistles and they were too loud or inconvenient to carry. I carry the whistle in my pocket when I take the dog with me, which is everywhere. I use it when I need to reinforce some or get her attention outside of training scenarios. She can get focused in on things sometimes and 'zones ' out. The whistle helps bring her back in focus. The slim design of the whistle makes it easy to put in your pants pocket and not have to wear it around your neck all the time. Will be ordering another, to have as a spare.

These whistle are a must for hunters and gun dogs.

I've had the whistle for about one month now, and my beagle already knows the tone and that I.m calling him back. Really has been a voice saver too. Just put this on a wristband and the 3 inch length fits right next to the palm of my hand. No need to walk and carry it in your mouth or on a neck strap.
