535 Acme -'silent dog whistle'

Product Information

Our first specialist dog training whistle was the iconic ACME silent dog whistle which was developed in 1935 and revolutionised the way that people communicated with their dogs. Since those days we have recognised a growing need in the market for high quality dog training whistles with different specifications. While there are benefits to choosing a silent whistle, there are certainly also benefits to choosing another from our range; it all depends on the kind of training you undertake, your dog’s species, and the environment they train in.

There are several different dog whistles on the market today — including single tone, adjustable, and silent whistles. Although every scenario is different, it’s expected that a puppy will be able to hear a whistle from at least 200 feet away. That can be depending on the whistle, the terrain, and your pet’s hearing. What not to do with a silent dog whistle? Retrieving breeds such as goldens, labradors and curly coats are generally energetic and sociable, and most will benefit from being able to run in large open spaces, especially young dogs. Whether your retriever is a working dog or a family pet you will need a whistle which can be heard over long distances so you can reliably recall the animal or give instruction. The ACME 211½ TM has been specially designed to sound at a frequency of 5700Hz which can be heard by your dog at distances up to 1.5km depending on the weather conditions and terrain. On the other hand, if you intend to train your dog some basic commands, you could choose a single-pitch whistle, so you don’t have to fret about selecting a frequency. Range The Acme Silent Dog Whistle comes across as one of the best silent dog whistles currently on the market; This is a magnificent tool designed for use on dogs to capture their attention no matter how engrossed they are in their activity or where they are. It is a dog whistle design made with support from dog lovers and expert dog trainers.Silent dog whistles use higher “ultrasonic” frequencies that are loud and easy for dogs to hear. While silent dog whistles may be better to use in dog parks or when you’re around other people, keep in mind that most silent whistles aren’t entirely silent for humans. They’re just not as loud to the human ear as audible whistles. Best Dog Training Whistles Our dog training whistles offer a consistent sound which doesn’t change depending on the person blowing it or how it is blown. Consistency is one of the most important factors in dog training, and a consistent dog training whistle reduces confusion your dog may experience during sessions. These whistles are weather-proof and the sound carries very well in all conditions; they are ideal when using positive reinforcement techniques and can be used for close in and long distance work.

If training your dog for search, rescue, herding, and hunting, or another activity that makes the pet far away from you, the longer-range is more useful. Basic commands do not need such an excellent range of volume. PurposeThis Ortz dog whistle is a more affordable option if you want a “silent” dog whistle. Like the Acme 535, you can adjust the frequency to a pitch your dog responds to best. The range is about the same as a regular whistle but not as far as the Acme silent whistle, but it’s effective for close-range situations like at home, on walks, or at the dog park. As with most “silent” dog whistles, it’s not entirely inaudible to the human ear. Pros With great hearing, a dog can hear a whistle as much as 400 yards away. Older dogs or canines with poor hearing might not be able to hear that far away. Dog whistles are a traditional type of interaction between parents and dogs. Some rural regions of Europe still have people who practice a language of combined whistle commands to direct their dogs to complete a series of complex herding maneuvers. Audible whistles are better for beginners for obvious reasons – being able to hear it makes your life a lot easier! Although there's a risk they can be damaging to your ears or a nuisance to others, if you're doing long-distance training this can be a positive as the sound travels further than silent whistles. You start by saying the verbal command, use your chosen whistle sound, and then give the verbal command again.

All whistles are relatively easy to clean. Soak the whistle in a mixture of baking soda and lukewarm water. Adjustable Frequencies Choosing the perfect dog whistle for your family pet or working dog is key to facilitating smooth training. Like with people, no two dogs are exactly alike and this can make it somewhat challenging to choose the right whistle to train with. Of course, the level your dog is trained to and the speed at which they make progress will depend on the amount of time that you invest in training as well as the aptitude of your dog, but choosing the right tools will give you both a great start. There are a number of things which will help you to choose the right whistle the first time, including the breed of dog and the kind of work you will be doing with them. Retrievers The key to using a dog whistle is getting your dog to associate verbal commands like sit, stay, stop, and come with a distinct whistle blow — either a different sound or a series of repetitive blows. The most common dog training whistle commands are one blast for “sit” and three blasts for “come” or “here,” but you can set your own. Just remember to be consistent. Has Your Dog Mastered Verbal Commands? Call him to come to you and make sure to praise your dog once he does it perfectly. By doing this, he learns that the sound will ultimately lead to a reward.Anything that has something to do with dog training always begins with building an association of the whistle to something significant or pleasant for the dog. When you’re sure about your dog’s capabilities, you can try his skills in the open. It is most helpful to do it in a confined place initially, such as a dog park. Some whistles have adaptable frequencies, so you can train your puppy to respond to different sounds accordingly. This type of acoustic consistency may be excellent for herding or hunting where you require multiple various commands. Dog training often requires time outside or in the elements. If you plan to hunt or fish with your dog, you will definitely need a whistle that is both durable and effective. Look for one that is made of high-quality plastic or metal. The securing ring should also be durable enough to keep the whistle attached to a lanyard or keychain. Needs This whistle’s pitch is almost inaudible to humans yet can come with an adjustable frequency feature that allows dog parents to tune the pitch to suit their canine. The tool’s versatility is what helps it stand out from its competitors when there is any comparison.

Also, regular and long training sessions imply more prolonged exposure to loud noises to your ears, which could bring discomfort to some. In that case, you can choose the silent dog whistles. Choosing the best silent dog whistle for training In modern regions, dog whistles are either ordinary boat whistles or specialized whistles with a sound too high for humans to hear yet low enough for a pet to hear with ease. They’re used to give commands for standard commands or specialized training, such as hunting.

A dog whistle can be a great tool to get your pup to follow your commands, especially across long distances or noisy areas.
