Acme Silver Silent Dog Whistle – Perfect for Training Your Dog Without Disturbing Your Neighbors

Craigboy53: Very well made, high quality metal. It adjusts frequencies easily, but is not silent. It is not loud, but certainly not silent. I got this in an attempt to help with our 12 yr old dog, who is quickly going deaf. The vet suggested high frequency hearing is last to go on dogs, and the whistle might work. Nope. He can’t hear it.

Krispy: I have been using this for a few months now and finally realized It can be set in place by using the screw. !! Find the setting that gets results and set in place with tiny screw ( tiny screwdriver needed ) No more tape for me. The cap is kinda useless so I took it off the chain and tossed it in a drawer.

Version moderne améliorée de l’original Silent Dog Whistle, inventé par ACME en 1935

CARACTÉRISTIQUES
Le sifflet pour chien ACME ‘Silent’ est conçu avec précision pour produire une gamme de fréquences fondamentales comprises entre 5 400 Hz et 12 800 IIz. Bien qu’à ce niveau, le sifflet soit inaudible pour l’ouïe humaine, un chien, dont les oreilles sont beaucoup plus sensibles aux hautes fréquences, deviendra instantanément plus attentif au son de ce sifflet...

Razorback: (See ratings explanation below the review)

Well made. I've used this for two years now both training and hunting. Finish still looks original. Tip: Once you get the frequency where you want it, you can set it with a half width of thin tape. (half width so you can still put the cap on..)

My ratings system:
5 stars...... I'm blown away by quality & value... a must buy! (I rarely give this)
4 stars..... Pleasantly surprised, better than expected
3 stars..... as advertised, got what I expected, any pros/cons balanced
2 stars..... a little disappointed, I had hoped for better
1 star ..... avoid, waste of time and money, junk (I rarely give this)

photoplus: J'utilise ce sifflet pour le rappel. Ne pas croire que le chien répond mieux au sifflet qu'à la voie. L'éducation est la même. Mais lorsque l'on se trouve en présence d'autres personnes cela évite de déranger en criant. L'utilisation du sifflet (j'utilise trois coups brefs) ne gêne pas l'entourage et le chien l' entend très bien. Il a très vite compris (moins d'un mois). Cela ne veut pas dire qu'il obéit toujours mais c'est la même chose à la voie! J'ai mis une petite dragonne pour le porter autour du cou. Le seul petit inconvénient: le bouchon n'arrête pas de se balancer au bout de sa chainette et j'ai peur qu'elle casse.

Amazon Customer: Biggest assets are silence and that it can be heard by your pup at long distances. ACME claims this whistle can be heard up to two miles away in good weather. This company has a long-standing, world renowned reputation. It is truly silent at certain pitches. It can be adjusted to different pitches according to which one your pup is most responsive to but know that some of the lower pitches are not silent…if that’s what is important to you. The only issue I have is with the screw mechanism that “locks” the pitch I have chosen into place. It keeps coming loose, meaning I have to re-dial the pitch and retighten the tiny screw. That screw is so tiny that you will need to purchase a super mini screwdriver to do the job…it’s close to the size of the screwdriver that comes with the average eyeglass repair kit. Needless to say, if you’re at the dog park and the screw loosens…you’re out of luck. It’s puzzling why no proper screwdriver is included with the purchase of this very expensive whistle. The whole locking/unlocking issue is a dealbreaker. Also, the chain that connects the protective cap to the whistle (to prevent cap loss), is unable to swivel when the cap is...

Bento-san: Erworben wurde am 26.07.2018
ACME Stille Professionelle Hundepfeife No. 535, Silber
zum Preis von 18,99€

In erster Linie habe ich mich für eine ACME Produkt entschieden, da diese bekannt sind für Ihre korrekte Reproduktion der Pfeifentypen, so dass man bei Verlust keine Sorge haben muss, den Hund auf eine abweichende Frequenz neu konditionieren zu müssen. Einfach gleiche Modellnummer bestellen und einstellen.

Positiv:
- Die Pfeife ist wertig gearbeitet
- wurde original verpackt geliefert und weist keine Gebrauchsspuren auf
- verschiedene Tonfrequenzen die sich durch den hinteren Teil der Pfeife variieren lassen. Wie beschrieben wird die Frequenz tiefer, je weiter man die Pfeife man hinausdreht.
- Arretierung per Schraube zur Fixierung der Frequenz

Negativ:
- Anleitung komplett auf Englisch (für mich keine Problem, sollte aber erwähnt werden)
- Empfehlung der Anleitung beschreibt verschiedene Frequenzen für verschiedene Distanzen. Sehe darin hier 3 Nachteile:
1. gemäß der Anleitung sollten tiefere Frequenzen für weitere Distanzen genutzt werden. Es geht nicht hervor, ob höhere Frequenzen also eine geringere Reichweite...

A Cheap Guy in Phoenix.: First, if you think a dog whistle is a magic whistle that stops dogs from barking, don't buy this or any other dog whistle. If you do, there's a 92% chance that you'll illustrate your lack of general knowledge by giving it a one star rating because, "it didn't work," and returning it. There's an 8% chance you'll illustrate your lack of general knowledge because the dog in question is one of the random 8% of dogs that stop barking when distracted, and you give it five stars because, "it worked."

So, if this is your line of thought, google dog whistle; Galton whistle; and; classical, Pavlovian, or, respondent, conditioning; before you order anything to quiet your neighbor's dog. Yes, there are sounds that dogs may find painful to hear, so the noise can be used as negative reinforcement for negative behavior, but a dog whistle is not likely to produce one of these sounds. A dog whistle is a signal that's used to condition dogs, just like a command. So, whistling at a dog and expecting it to just stop barking is as silly as saying, "Alto!," to a barking dog and wondering why the dog didn't just stop.

That said, this is a very nice whistle. As other viewers have pointed...
