Ready for Australian Shepherds but not Shelties

Ready for Australian Shepherds who like to jump and bark at other dogs. He pauses and immediately sits down. The Sheltie isn't that strong unless I'm in front of him, he eventually stops. It also has to be close. The sound is unidirectional, so ears hurt. I'm going to buy a mega whistle so the sound is focused through the barrel

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Good for the most part but...

Just not loud at all and takes a lot of force to blow

The worst whistle I've ever used. It's hard to blow and get more than a light whistle out of it. It takes a lot of effort to blow this whistle. Even blowing at full power is still not loud at all. I literally had to use my high roller whistle when working with the dog because he couldn't even hear that shitty whistle. Don't buy, you won't be happy

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Can't remember

Great for dog training

Ideal for dog training. It's loud, the sound is sharp and long-lasting. Used it to train my labs, Meg, for long range commandos. She responds well to this whistle even when other whistles don't work. I think this is the best dog training whistle you can get. The build quality is fantastic, it's made from high quality plastic and the key ring doesn't bend or break like many silver ones. There is a small round piece of wood in the chamber that rattles and makes a nice sound that the manufacturer…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Nothing

You can't do without it

We have Treeing Walker Coonhounds and I love the whistle they call to me in the woods. You know this whistle from the first time. I taught them how to use this whistle to cut the chase and get home on time. I also found my 6 month old puppy in the woods after he was injured. I whistled for hours calling his name until he finally answered. When I stopped whistling he started crying so I whistled, then stopped and listened, whistled and waited for him to cry/bark. Yes, we will always be best…

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • So far so good

This whistle is not what I was hoping for

I never said it was difficult to get a decent sound on a whistle. I mean he blows the whistle. Everyone. I didn't send it back because it's cheap enough, but I ordered Schvivik's whistles. You will get two metal whistle with two laces, very nice and easy to make a loud sound to get my puppies attention. There's a pea in that SportDog whistle, so maybe that's the problem, I don't know. The two I replaced are pealess, washable, and sound great even when wet. The reviews for this SportDog whistle…

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • no instructions

Good product for the price

I was very excited to start whistle training with my dog and researched quite a few whistles before settling on this one. The whistle itself is VERY loud which is nice - and carries well. It's not too high or too low to get lost in the wind/rain, but the downside is that it can pierce the ears of people nearby. So I didn't want to use it for "training" or training in the park - I don't want to bother anyone haha. I'm also a little disappointed that the ball is made of hard cork inside - it got…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • So so
