oman 23 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hi all just looking to know what is the reason for the two different acme whistles the 210.5 and the 211.5. What whistle would you recommend for someone starting out with a Springer spaniel pup. Cheers Quote Link to post
pegleg33 134 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Does'nt really matter what pitch you use aslong as you stick with the same pitch with the dog.Most spaqniel men prefer a pealess 210 whistle .I use the 210.5 Quote Link to post
Mooch. 177 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 They are different pitches. I don't think it matters which one you choose as long as you always use the same pitched whistle with the dog. Quote Link to post

labstaff 0 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I'm going to go against the grain a little here, for my lab I use a acme 212 as it gives a more consistant pitch. However, I don't think it matters too much if you use a different whistle pitch as I would expect a dog to listen to verbal commands given by different people (therefore different tones and pitches) and obey the command!
