ACME Shepherd Dog Training Whistle, Rose Gold Plated, Variable-Frequency Sound

ACME’s rose gold plated Shepherd Whistle is a mouth-operated dog training whistle for sheep trails and herding, with a variable-frequency sound that can reach up to 100 dBA.

• Made for sheep trails and herding — supports communication between handlers and working dogs.
• Variable-frequency, crescendo sound up to 100 dBA — lets the handler shape the whistle’s sound.
• Pealess, ball-free design — has no internal pea or ball.
• Rose gold plated metal finish — one of ACME’s available whistle finishes.
• Made in the UK by whistle specialists with more than 150 years of experience — brings established manufacturing experience to the product.

For shepherds and working-dog companions, clear communication can be part of guiding a dog across sheep trails and during herding. This whistle is designed to be used in the mouth, where the sound depends on the handler’s breath pressure and mouth shape. Its small format keeps the whistle itself compact for handling during training and field work.

How does the ACME Shepherd Whistle produce its sound?

The ACME Shepherd Whistle is an in-mouth whistle whose sound varies with the pressure of the air and the shape of the handler’s mouth. The sound can build to a stated maximum of 100 dBA, and the mouth-controlled design allows frequency to vary as the handler changes those inputs. The whistle has no pea or ball inside.

• Height: 0.197 inches (0.50 cm).

It suits shepherds and working-dog handlers looking for a mouth-operated whistle for herding and sheep-trail communication. Its rose gold plated metal finish, pealess construction and variable-frequency sound make it a compact training whistle for that purpose.
