Questions & Answers

The thing I'm trying to do will not work for me. I've watched the videos and read the material, but still I can't get it to Is there anything you can suggest?

If you want to get the best results, you must learn how to hold it in your mouth. When you blow on it, the filter won't work as well. Huffing your breath is the best way to achieve results. Make a huff with it and place it in your mouth. huff, huff, huff, Huff! This is no joke. I would like to know how the results turned out.

What if I put a mask I have an ESA that is whistle trained. With a mask on, is it difficult to blow a whistle clearly enough?

Using it with a mask shouldn't be a problem. If you have never used a whistle like this, it will take you a lot of practice. Since much of the whistle lies in your mouth or outside your lips, I don't think it will cause any problems.

Dimensions What are the dimensions of the What are the pros and cons of putting it on ?

This is a 2" x 1" sticker. A lanyard tab for 5" is included. Both edges are sharp and edges are large for mouths. I would rather have it on a keychain than in my mouth!

Apparently, this thing no longer tastes good after a couple of years! Are there any products that I can use to clean it so that it doesn't taste so awful?

Selected User Reviews For Shepherd Mouth Whistle - Nickel Silver

In my husband's experience, it works fine for the price
3/5

He started with this one, but after a couple of months needed to upgrade to a more expensive brand. He switched because this one fit into his mouth uncomfortable and made his mouth sore if he used it a lot, and he had to hold it in his mouth while he whistled, and he needed one that was hands free so that he could drive a car. The cattleman would run his cattle on a wheeler or horse and still command his dogs to do what he wanted them to do. Upon purchasing a Logan Supreme Brass Whistle, he found that not only was it more comfortable, and he could play it without a hand, but also that notes were clearer and easier to play. Despite the kids' best efforts, they weren't able to hear anything out of it. However, with the Logan, they were able to play different notes based on what they tried the first time.

The whistle is versatile, but it needs a lot of practice
4/5

Quite an unusual whistle, it's not for the novice! I grabbed it just because it attracted my The reason I don't know how to use it is because I'm not a shepherd and I don't own a dog. Despite this, there are no instructions included in the package, but there is guidance at Acme. The company. Taking a few sounds from UK is enough to get you talking within half an Once this is done, the only limit is your imagination and your ability to speak. Although I have not tried it on dogs, I am able to whistle "My Country 'Tis of Thee" (GSTQ). Dogs aside, I think this could be helpful in a noisy environment where you need to signal more expressively than the usual fixed pitch whistle allows.

It takes a lot of patience to learn to use this
5/5

It takes time to grasp the concept of how to use it did not take long to get a single tone, but it took a while to develop control, consistency, and a consistent range of tones. Some people might find it easier to whistle without already having learned how to do it, but I had to learn how to whistle There are several YouTube videos on how to use it, but I found they were not very helpful. The only way I managed to figure it out was to keep working on it. This was certainly worth the effort since the range of tones allows for a large variety of cues to be given to your pet at a distance that was convenient for them.

The practice of using this type of whistle is very rewarding
4/5

I have several of them, and I enjoy using them. The dogs' response to these whistles is really enjoyable for me. Having pets that have been rescued from abusive homes can be challenging, especially when trying to call them. Dogs can be unforgiving and if you holler at one in any way, if I'm able to figure it out they will just roll over on their backs because they think he is going to take a beating. No matter how far away he is or where he is, if he is in the road with a truck coming, he needs to The whistles have made life much easier for me since I discovered them. My dog runs after me wagging his tail and happy thanks to my whistle. It was a miracle that both of us survived. My favorite whistles are these ACME nickel silver whistles because they make a good sound and last a long time. These are truly the best whistles you can buy, as there are less expensive plastic ones and expensive brass ones. Thanks a lot.

Having fun is what this is all about
5/5

You should be loud and proud! The shepherd's whistle has been a lot of fun for me to learn. Video can be found on YouTube if you go there. The process of learning to use it is fun, and it takes some time to get used to it, but I can almost play "Mary Had a Little Lamb". I cannot wait to use it with my dogs to see how they will react to it. In order to learn how to use it, I am currently working on it in the car when I drive. As I see it, you should attach a lanyard, or something, to it, since not just letting it fall into your mouth is a bad idea.

I don't think it's worth your time
3/5

There are no instructions included with the item. Having used one myself, I'm sure it will work well if you already know how to use one. It is up to you whether you subscribe to it (like me). There was not a word of direction provided anywhere online for these other than, "Put it in your mouth. ". It could also be used to whistle, which does not work, and seems to produce only occasional Eventually, I gave up the effort and devoted all my time to learning to whistle without the aid of an instrument. Rather than saving time and money, it was a waste.

It makes a decent whistling sound
4/5

The tool is very useful. After playing it for a month or so, I found it to have an oily taste and that caused me to give it a 4 out of 5. This steel cutout has a sort of rivet that has grease trapped in a very small crevice. The nickel coating on the steel cutout While it works well and can be used with multiple commands, it does not play a great game. The notes sound similar to those of a clarinet, from whistling to playing notes. Playing it is great once you have gained enough experience to master it. The best place to learn to play this is not on YouTube. There are so many amateurs that you have to jam this thing in your mouth and practice it until you get the hang of it.

There is no better whistle than this one
5/5

As I have bought quite a few of these over the years, I keep misplacing them just like my Despite the fact that they are extremely loud, you can provide a lot of variation in the sound, tone, affectation, etc, for different commands once you get the hang of them. Whenever my dogs wander off during hikes, this is the best way to bring them back into sight and give me a sense of security.
