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.
Sheepdog-style 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.
Instructions/Diagrams:
Common Uses
- Herding sheep or other pasture livestock
- Gundog field trails
- Signaling applications: Rescue, hiking, cycling, falconry and sailing
- Looking for a gift or keepsake?
- Shop aluminum sheepdog whistles from Logan Whistles.
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.

I cannot whistle, so I bought this whistle to be able to call my dog, especially for feeding time; she stays out with the goats all day, and never comes in contact with humans. The whistle works great, and my Anatolian responds immediately to it. I understand others might use it to cause their dog to help round-up the goats, but not me.

My recent purchase of this product was for a friend as I have used this whistle for many years. She still seems to be having some trouble using it but I am sure she will master it soon and enjoy it as much as I do.
