Shepherd’s Dog Whistle
The Shepherd’s Dog Whistle has evolved over the years to help shepherds and others work with “four-legged” field helpers.
The whistle allows commands to carry farther and without interference from the user’s vocal inflection. The sound is controlled by the placement of the tongue.

How to Use
- Place the whistle open side forward between the teeth, with your lips at the front edge, and your tongue at the back of the solid edge of the whistle. The whistle has a hole on each side, so it doesn’t matter which side is facing up or down.
- Blow air down and through the top hole, almost like blowing over a pop bottle.
- With minor adjustments of the whistle you should hear a tone. By using your tongue to regulate the air, various tone combinations can be produced. This allows you to move several dogs at one time.

Greetings, these whistles work very well. If you struggle a bit with the classic metal ones this one will prove itself immediately. The shape and thickness of the back edge seems to make the difference. The sound is sharp and piercing and the tone is easy to manipulate. Put a string/lanyard on it and you’re good to go. Add it to another order or buy ten of these and give some to friends; otherwise the s/h negates the attractive low price. (I’m pretty sure that the BB is a name brand.)

Great whistle, when you learn to use it! I have used this whistle for my field dogs for years. They can hear it from far away and respond quickly. We use it while camping just in case the dogs are lost. We always recommend that EVERY dog be whistle trained!

Much easier to hold in position than the flat old fashioned Acme. Shipped quickly.

These are the best buy on the internet. I always carry one on my person to call and work the Fur Missiles. I also have a habit of losing them. At a couple dollars a piece that beats the inflated prices from the rest of the sellers out there. They are of good quality and easy to use. I highly recommend them and Premier 1.

I have no complaints, it works like my other whistles. I do like the sound vs the aluminum whistles. Seems warmer to me.
