Product Information

Full details

The ACME 211501 is a standard, high-pitch dog whistle designed for effective dog training, particularly for retriever breeds. Its pea-less design ensures a consistent, solid tone with a single frequency, making it ideal for achieving reliable recall and commands. While excellent for distance work and clear communication, it lacks adjustable frequency or tone control, meaning its sound profile is fixed.

FAQs

Is this whistle suitable for puppies?

Yes, it can be used for puppies as part of their initial training, provided they are old enough to begin responding to cues and the sound is introduced gently.

What is the range of this whistle?

The ACME 211501 is known for its good distance performance due to its clear, high pitch, but the exact range can depend on environmental factors like wind and background noise, as well as the individual dog's hearing.

Does the 'pea-less' design make a difference?

Yes, a pea-less design ensures the whistle produces a consistent, solid tone every time, as there's no internal pea to move or get stuck. This makes it very reliable.

Can I adjust the pitch or volume of this whistle?

No, the ACME 211501 has a fixed pitch and tone. It is designed to produce a specific medium-high frequency sound without adjustable controls.

How loud is the whistle?

The whistle is designed to be loud enough to be heard by dogs at a distance but is not excessively loud to cause discomfort when used correctly. Its loudness is optimized for training communication.

What material is the whistle made from?

The whistle is made from plastic.

Is this whistle good for recall training?

Yes, it is highly recommended for recall training due to its clear, consistent, high-frequency tone that carries well over distances.

Troubleshooting

Whistle produces no sound or a weak sound.

Ensure you are blowing into the whistle with sufficient force. Experiment with different blowing pressures and angles. Check for any debris obstructing the sound outlet and clean as per care instructions.

Dog is not responding to the whistle.

Ensure the dog has been properly conditioned to associate the whistle sound with a reward or command. Verify the whistle is producing its intended high-frequency tone. Consider if the dog might have a hearing impairment or if there are too many distractions.

Whistle tone sounds inconsistent.

Ensure the whistle is clean and dry. The consistency of the tone is dependent on the user's blowing technique; practice consistent blowing pressure.
