Dog whistle

[bambam0827]

I know this question has been asked before but I want to see everyone's most updated answer and opinion......

First, Is whistle training you dog worth it and what is the best whistle to use.

[weps10]

Yes it is worth it. Any one you have.

Only 2 real good dog whistles, Roy Gonia and Acme Thunderer. Next best is a police issur traffic whistle. Nuff said!

I have an 8 1/2 week old drahthaar I am wanting to whistle train. Does anyone know if it is a easier or harder breed to whistle train. I'm still working on hand posistiin and saying the commands at the moment of course. Any advice??

There's no trick at all to associating the whistle signals you want to known commands, just give the known command followed by the whistle signal, and after a while Pup will perform the command to whistle alone.

Lots of whistle choices, I've used Thunderers and Gonias more than anything else over the years, but now use a Fox 40 made "Sonic Blast" whistle that can be blown quietly or loud enough to hurt your ears if you don't cup your hands around it before hitting it hard. Carries remarkably well against hard wind and over splashing water.

Absolutely worth it- I use several- esp with two dogs- wife uses pealess and i use pea in -a bit different sound so her dog answers her whistle etc.OK most times-
