I've used shepherd's whistles regularly for many years trying out different sizes, shapes, materials, etc., decided to try this one because it was cheap. This is probably the worst whistle I've encountered. If you want to use a shepherd's whistle, there are far better brands to choose from, even if you're just learning. Invest in a better quality whistle.
Learning curve, but great product.
I have never had any other shepherds whistles, but this looks like a quality product. Yes, there is a small learning curve, but when you get it. You get it. I watched
I have never had any other shepherds whistles, but this looks like a quality product. Yes, there is a small learning curve, but when you get it. You get it. I watched a couple YouTube videos, then I had it in my mouth practicing for about an hour until I got it. I thought I had it for about 40 minutes, but then when I was trying to reposition and get a different tone found out it was not quite in the right position. As soon as it was, I could tell a huge difference and after a few more minutes of practicing in the right position was getting pretty consistent tones and was able to control tones abd volume enough to teach my dog to go into a "Down". It is pretty small, so make sure you put it somewhere you won't lose it. I had it about 2 hours, set it somewhere, and lost it. Lol.
shepherd dog whistle
#1. It didn't have any instruction as to how to use it. #2. I know the dogs hear it and I can't but they never payed any attention to it, just turned their heads

Takes time to learn...
Very difficult to get to make the right sound. Will keep practicing, but cautiously optimistic...

Hard to learn
This is a great product with a wide range of tones that you can make. However, there is a very steep learning curve when first using this product!

This seems like a well made whistle, but I cannot get it to work for the life of me. I've read the instructions and tried and tried but it just doesn't work. Not a sound. I was really looking forward to this whistle because I need one for recall but going to try another.
DOE'S NOT WORK ! ! !
After watching the video and seen my dogs reaction to the whistle they heard turning their heads left and right, I thought this would be a great whistle! Wrong!
After watching the video and seen my dogs reaction to the whistle they heard turning their heads left and right, I thought this would be a great whistle! Wrong! This whistle sucks! First of all it leaves a nasty taste of metal in your mouth!? And second no matter what I did I could not get this to work! Just buy a cheap one that actually works! Chewy gave me a well deserved refund.
Waste of money
I'm so disappointed, I have had whistles like this before, and know how to use it but I cant believe how cheep and expensive it was such a waste

Not your normal whistle
This whistle can take a little practice but even the littlest of sounds will make your dog halt. It works!! It’s really a neat little thing to use.
