Acme Field Trialer Oblong Whistle 212

I purchased this whistle because it was advertised as having a distance advantage over other whistles. Well, my 4 year old bitch essentially ignores it. I don't think it is the whistle's fault - she probably is not enamored with the pitch and I probably should have started when she was a pup. The whistle costs less than a Burger King Whopper meal, so, no big deal!!

Like the sound, used for my puppies out to 100 yards, haven't used any further than that. Only down side is it's short

I emailed the manufacturer (Acme) in U.K. about what whistle to use for my terrier mix. Acme responded immediately that this whistle had the right pitch that terriers respond to best. They were right. I added the whistle to "Come" and within a day, I don't need to yell anymore. My dog comes immediately just from the whistle sound (with a bunch of good treats when she arrives, of course). The whistle is sturdy, well built and very light to carry around the neck. You'll forget you have it on.

Mut responds to pitch better than expected. Pitch not disturbing to humans. This is the whistle you need for family dog training especiallly if you live in a neighborhood.

I use this whistle most of the time while training. It works great, material is great and I feel like it will last a lifetime as long as I keep up with it! I will use this whistle for training my dog just about every day.

My lab responds well using this whistle. It is louder than I expected, but that is probably a good thing! Good quality and consistent tone.

Billed as a field trial whistle, this was recommended to me as a simple field hunting whistle by an expert dog trainer/hunter. He was right. Once trained to the whistle, I have not needed other prompts in the field to get my Springers to do what I want. I have hunted the first whistle I bought four years ago, and recently purchased two more, which should round out any future requirements I should have. My hunting expeditions have taken me far afield, and often, and the whistle has not failed me and my dogs. Fortunately, the whistle's (and ultimately mine and my dogs') successes has been at the expense of dozens of big Iowa rooster pheasants, and explosive Kansas quail. Great whistle at a good price.

This is a great whistle just like the 211.5 but it is considerably louder with a slightly lower tone. I like having it on my lanyard and use it when they get out past 60 yards or so.

Makes the same sound every time. Perfect for in the field.

Good sound but you have to blow it harder to make sound. I would just stick to the 211 instead. I really like how easy it is to blow.

Works great, and it's not too loud for others around us.

Works great. Gun Dog Supply is quick with shipping and great to order from. Thanks for the excellent service.

Convenient size a bit shorter than 211.5 and seems to carry a bit further. We use for greater distance.

Excellent product. Not too loud. Great for field trials.

He respond to the pitch of this whistle better than any other I have used. Glad ordering from you is easy. Wish I had of ordered 2. Hope I don't lose this one. Thanks for the wonderful products, support and easy ordering!!!!!!!

Great product!

My boyfriend bought this to train our lab to be a duck dog. Works great! Fast shipping and awesome service.

Great value to replace expensive buffalo horn whistles.

Going to get a couple more. These are the real deal. Pitch is perfect, and size is great!

This was a replacement for a lost whistle of similar design/type, but it was not at all as effective or easy to use. Will you take them back?

It does the job.

I felt like I wasn't a good enough whistler to use this whistle. It might be for more experienced trainers and dogs. If I tried hard, I could get crisp sounds from it. It's a little too quiet for me.

Works great. Easy to order, and arrived in timely manner.

These are the best whistles out there. They're cheap, reliable, and you're not deaf after you blow into them. Plus, if you lose one you can order another one from Steve for a few bucks. Great whistle for a field dog.

I like this one for me the best. Same tone always.

It makes a very clear sound. It is less obtrusive than a pea'd whistle. When I blow it softly, it doesn't make a pure sound, but the pup listens regardless, so who really cares? It hasn't frozen yet and I have given it ample opportunity to try. I can hold it between my teeth for extended periods without drooling on myself, which is always a bonus.

Excellent tone for springers.

Thank you.

Lived up to my expectations. Perfect size.
