 Dog Whistle October 24, 2008
Eric Arbuthnot (Texas,US)
It's worthless - cheaply made , and ineffective at anything but very short range. Don't waste your money...the one star rating was just because I couldn't put no stars on review.
 good whistle for the price August 12, 2008

My dog responds very well to this whistle. It has a barely audible tone to the human ear, but Calypso seems to be able to hear even the lightest of whistles. My one and only complaint is that the plastic cover that goes over the tuning knob fits loosely, and the key chain loop is on this cover; I had to secure it with a piece of tape. Otherwise, excellent whistle.

It works. My only complaint would be that the screw in ending that tunes
it is a bit loose so I'm sure the pitch is wandering a bit. It came
in the mail right away and my dog sure seems to pay attention when I use it.
 Works--and how, once dogs are trained to it. March 6, 2008

Bought this model Remington dog whistle on Ebay a few weeks ago and, in a very short time, the dogs respond very quickly when using it. Don't expect a dog to know what to make of this whistle until you employ three necessary components to properly introduce the whistle to your dog.
The three componets:
1) Remington dog whistle
2) An obvious association of the whistle with a reward for the dog
3) A pork roast (or some equivalent)
I just blew the whistle in the presence of the dogs and immediately feed them small slices of cheese or cooked pork. Once, I blew the whistle in the morning as I was handing out the dog bowls in the kitchen. This association with food was not done quickly over a few days, but done randomly over about 10 days, with no demand that the dogs respond to the whistle or any early attempts to see if it yet would cause the dogs to come running over from afar. I just tried to tie the sound to food without expectations.
Today, I blew the whistle from the deck when the dogs were preoccupied digging up an ant hill in the back yard and their response was immediate--they came running--all three of the 6 to 8 month old dogs. Later, when I was inside watching TV, the dogs were out in the back yard unseen somewhere and I just pulled the whistle from my pocket and blew it while sitting on the couch. I didn't have to count to 5 before all three dogs flew through the dog door and right to me in eager greeting. I bought this whistle in hopes of rounding up the dogs when hiking in the woods, since they thoroughly vanish on me from time to time. Expect this whistle with continued training will serve the purpose of calling them in very well.
Nice, compact little whistle, with a removable hard plastic sheath that covers a frequency adjustment nut. Simple instructions. Have my whistle set to a shrill, mildly audible sound.
