Questions & Answers

Will the bears be deterred by this whistle?

No way! When hunting dogs are out of hearing range, this whistle is used to call them back and give them field commands. It will have no effect on wild animals.

Please tell me how many hz this device outputs. ?

There are 210 different styles to choose from. 211 and 5 are the two numbers. Both work well for my bird dog.

My 15-year-old Pomeranian appears to be losing his hearing. Is there any chance he'll hear this whistle? What I've read so far has piqued my interest. ?

This whistle has a fairly high pitch, so it doesn't hurt the human ear, but it appears to be in good working order. Dogs can hear even when they are deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deaf I'd give it a shot because the cost is so low.

Will a dog whistle make a difference in reducing dog barking?

No, the whistle won't help your dog stop barking.

Selected User Reviews For acme Dog Whistle 210.5

Whistle is accurate and long-lasting, but don't expect much unless you practice
5/5

This whistle has been purchased in a variety of colors by me on several occasions. Many of the negative reviews are based on erroneous assumptions about dog behavior and sound sensitivity. A whistle will not elicit an automatic response from the vast majority of dogs. Furthermore, if a dog has been trained to respond to one whistle (or frequency of sound), it is unlikely that the dog will respond to other frequencies. The accuracy of the sound produced by these whistles is what makes them unique, 210. Dogs' ears are extremely sensitive to sound, and a whistle at one frequency will sound different to them than a whistle at another. She completely disregards any other whistles because their frequency is not the same as the ACME whistles. My dog has been trained to recall at this frequency, which is perfect for my kids and extended family when they need her. It can even be used by my two-year-old to remember her. br>br>Don't bother buying a'magic' whistle if you haven't trained the desired behavior. It is not going to work! Aside from that, everything works as it should. It produces a sound with a frequency of 210 hertz. Depending on how much air you push through it, it can be very quiet or very loud. These whistles are well-made, simple to clean, and will last a lifetime.

For dogs, this is an absolutely fantastic tool
5/5

For dogs, this is an absolutely fantastic tool. Prior to making a purchase, I did a lot of research on the internet. I watched a lot of dog trainer videos and this seemed to be the most popular dog whistle. Using this dog whistle, I was able to get my two Aussies to respond to my command in under an hour. Choose a treat that your dogs are ecstatic about and use it as a reward, such as hot dogs for my dogs. I nuked a hot dog and sliced it into tiny pieces, then signaled them to come back with two sharp blows on the whistle. When I blew the whistle, both of their heads shot up and they looked at me before sprinting as hard as they could. You'll see great results if you reinforce their good behavior. Keep in mind that your commands must be consistent. After blowing the whistle, I only say one word: "Come. " "I'm going to place a second order. " This whistle is something I never want to be without. The 210 is the size of this whistle. 5 pitch. This appears to be the most effective pitch for attracting the attention of the majority of dogs. Thank you for creating such a wonderful product!!.

This is an excellent product for semi-professionals
5/5

deaf dog! My 12- year- Although my old dog is deaf, she can still hear me whistle, so I figured she'd be able to pick up on this. She does, in fact. When we're out in the fenced backyard, I wear the whistle on a lanyard around my neck. I don't let her off the hook now that she's deaf. leash in another location - It is audible to her. Although the yard is only a third of an acre, there is a wooded area in the back that she enjoys where I can't see her, so I can blow this whistle and she will come. Of course, whether the whistle will work for you depends on your situation, but Tessa and I have found it to be effective.

This is the only thing that a month old Lab responds to
5/5

This is the only thing that a month old Lab responds to. We use it for more urgent recalls (like when she's running toward a stranger on the beach or has slipped out the garage door) and ALWAYS reward the whistle call with real special dried chicken treats, so the whistle is reinforced. When we whistle, she will even stop playing tangled with other dogs. When she is distracted, she is deaf to voice recalls. br>We keep it on one of those coiled elastic wrist lanyards and wear it on our wrists whenever we go for a walk. because you never know when you'll require it There are a total of four of them in our household. one by each retractable leash and one at each door It is critical to have easy access to convenience.

IT CAN ALSO BE USED ON CATS
5/5

When I activated her electronic collar beeper, I was able to easily train my cat to come home, but she continued to throw the collars. I decided to try this because it was too expensive to keep replacing those at $50 each. She was a little startled by the sound at first, but once she connected it to me (and canned tuna), she came for the whistle just as eagerly as she did for the collar beeper. She, too, had given up throwing her collars.

Comes in handy as a teacher
5/5

I'm teaching my dog to come when I blow this whistle. My GSP puppy can sometimes ignore my voice in the field, but he responds quickly to a sharp whistle command, which I have attached to a carabiner with a key ring so I can clip it to his long line handle, a lanyard, or my jeans belt loop when we go training. If you drop it, the bright orange color makes it easy to find. br>It's not just for hunting dogs to use this whistle. My brother trained his dog to respond to a whistle, and she is the only dog at the dog park or on a hike who has the best recall. She was taught as a puppy that when the whistle is blown (softly once), she must come no matter what she is doing, and was rewarded with the best high-value treats reserved exclusively for whistle training.

Perfect - exactly what I was looking for! This whistle is compact, visible, and loud enough for my purposes
5/5

Because the volume is entirely dependent on how hard you blow into it, you can "tone it down" to an indoor volume when training indoors but still let loose outdoors and use the full volume as needed. This whistle can be heard by humans. By no means is it silent. br>br>READ ON IF YOU EXPECT YOUR DOG TO COME TO THIS WHISTLE AUTOMATICALLY. Dogs do not have "come-hither" instincts from birth. running- DNA that makes you whistle To get them to respond to the whistle, you'll need to TRAIN them. Training can be as easy as this: br>br> 1. br>br> Have some tasty treats (like chicken or scrambled eggs - REALLY GOOD TREATS) on hand. Neither kibble nor milkbones are permitted! )
2. Locate your canine companion occupy the same space as him/herbr>3. BLOW THE WHISTLE LIGHTLY and IMMEDIATELY give him/her several small bites of delicious yummy treatbr>4. This should be done several times a day. br>5. Your dog will soon associate the whistle with SUPER good food and will run whenever* he hears it! br>* Make sure to gradually increase the distance between you and the distractions - You're setting your dog up for failure if you move from 5 feet away in your boring living room to 100 yards away in a crowded dog park! Steps in the right direction!.
