Brand Competition Mega Whistle - Hunting Dog Training Whistle with Easy-to-Blow Design - Protects Handlers Ear - Black

It has been working wonders on "training" our neighbors dogs to stop yapping all the time. Any time we are outside and hear them start up, we grab the whistle and give a short blast. If needed, we will repeat this each time they bark while we are out there. Usually, it only takes once or twice before they stop barking altogether. They definitely are not barking as much as they used to, so that is a blessing. Nothing more obnoxious than a barking, yapping dog! One thing to note though: this whistle is *incredibly* loud - very high pitched - and it even hurts my ears at times.

I had a dog trainer come up to me and ask, What kind of whistle is that? It's a field-training whistle. For gun dogs, herding dogs—any dog that you may need to recall from up to several hundred yards away. A pro trainer showed it to me and I like them. With this, I can have my dog galloping toward me from 1/4 mi. or more distant. The bell protects your ears and makes the sound louder and more directional. They're inexpensive, which is good, because I inevitably lose them. If you're recalling little Luna from 20' away, this is overkill. But if your dog bolts after deer, for example, it's perfect. I do wish it came with a lanyard, but it's easy enough to buy 50' of nylon cord and make your own. Mine are bright orange so I can find them in the wet grass on a gloomy day. Mind you, it's not the whistle but your training that makes the dog return!

Great

Bigger than I would have expected.

Good whistle for the price. Loud and has no pea for cold weather.

So I got this, and it sounds off like the vibrator ball in the whistle is stuck. I exchanged it for another one, and it does the same thing. Because the ball is either too big or stuck, the sound never fully develops and it sounds hoarse. Get another one instead.

This whistle definitely gets a dog’s attention. It is very loud! I expected a more silent training whistle. This is not that.

Loud and clear! My dog responds immediately when I use it during training sessions. The grip is comfortable, and it doesn’t hurt the ears even when you blow hard. Works exactly as I hoped!

Great product

Great whistle for training

perfect for field work!

This only worked for about a month. Maybe tried it 15 times. And not used outdoor either!

Worked okay
