acme 210.5 whistle

[Pudding]

I have just  got a acme 210.5 whistle for Bob
and have just started the training with him so far so good

Do you use one.... if so how do you get on with it.....

[mooching]

Having lost two metal whistles which unscrewed, and finding my clicker whistle a bit bulky, I bought myself a nice purple Acme 210.5 (with lanyard) on the recommendation of several people here, and I love it! I confess to having bought myself a green one as well, so that I can choose which colour goes best with what I am wearing!

I'm buying my daughter her own one for Christmas (probably a blue one) - it will make a nice tree present!

I will soon start it with Scarlett too! When she chases birds in the woods she is so bad at recall, although she is great under differenet circumstances...

Did you read the 7 whistle steps on the training section?

I use this whistle, only started using it a few months ago and Brodie picked it up very quickly. I lost my first one on a walk so now have a bright orange one

[Geordietyke]

I've used this whistle since Odie was 9 weeks old (on recommendation of Top Barks ).  It's bright orange with a matching orange and green lanyard! 

[Joules]

I have always used the Acme 210.5 and find it great  

I have 2, both on lanyards - one black and one orange 

[supergirl]

Have used it with Misha and Roly since they were tiny pups, and Lexi and Ellie have also been responding well to it.   

[Black Red + Yellow]

got about 10 of them in the house somewhere.....one of mine is on a lanyard with my door key and now a little torch....it's all mine!

We used them with Bessie too and they are particularly recommended for hard of hearing dogs also....it was often the only thing she could hear towards the end when out walking....she would wander away and then not hear us calling her bless

I use this one as well and its brilliant. i brought 3 in different colours two weeks ago and have already lost one  Annoyingly I know I shoved it in a pocked but between the million and one pockets in my coat and my ski trousers 101 pockets, plus all the under layers I cant find it 

 Ive got a lanyard on my current one so hopefully this wont go astray.

 I use and Acme whistle but 211.5 - I have 3, black, pink, and raspberry  I do love an excuse to spend money on doggy stuff

Hope you don,t mind me asking where did you get the pink whistle from .   An idea for a Christmas pressie from family.

I read somewhere that the 211.5 is more favoured for Retrievers, and the 210.5 for Spaniels - I was wondering what the difference is?

The tones are slightly different but tbh it doesn't really matter which you use as long as you're consistent with it.
