In the UK, whistle training has grown in popularity with many new dog owners listing it as a priority skill for their pup. Whether you are planning on whistle training your new pup or have an adult dog you’d like to form a closer bond with, whistle training can be an extremely useful skill for a dog to learn and will strengthen a trust-based relationship. At a time when dog owners are taking more responsibility for their animals, it can make a world of positive difference to the ways a dog behaves. 

One of the most important benefits of whistle training is that it allows for clear and consistent communication between a dog and their owner or trainer. A whistle’s call remains the same whether the caller is frustrated, happy, or indifferent, meaning that a sensitive dog will never be put off by a negative tone of voice. This leads to a dog gaining confidence and becoming more obedient which makes outings with your dog safer, more relaxed and more enjoyable. 

Furthermore, using a whistle

With more than 135 years of experience in designing and manufacturing whistles, ACME Whistles is a true stalwart of the British manufacturing industry. These days, the list of traditionally British-made products is shorter than ever before and much of our national manufacturing power has been moved overseas. In a market full of imports, we are proud that every ACME whistle is still manufactured to world-leading standards in Birmingham. 

We are firm believers in learning from our past and improving, but we also know that the old ways are still the best in certain instances. For example, the fact that most of our whistles are hand-tooled using original machinery means that each one gets the full, undivided attention of our skilled craftsmen and women. The result is a superior product that is built to last and guaranteed to work perfectly. 

The ACME Whistles best-selling models

We are keen innovators in the industry of sound solutions and over the years our designs have taken many forms.

We at ACME Whistles are a company of dog lovers and many of us share our homes and hearts with a four-legged friend or two. Dogs have evolved alongside us for thousands of years, so it’s no wonder that they have a reputation as mans’ best friend. Because we understand dogs, we know that they make the best working teams or companions when they are able to listen to their masters and follow commands. 

All dogs should achieve at least a certain level of obedience training. It is vital for the safety of the dog and for anyone else coming into contact with them that the dog is able to understand and perform the basics such as sit, stay, leave it, and wait. The temptation for owners of new puppies is to focus on the fun process of learning tricks, but the importance of obedience training should also be addressed early on. 

We have fine-tuned our dog whistles over the decades to ensure the reliability, consistency and performance of each model, making them an effective, practical tool in training

If you are shopping around for an unexpected and fun yet practical gift for a friend or family member then you might just find that the ideal present is a genuine ACME whistle. The value of a well-made, reliable whistle cannot be overstated, and the range of uses and applications for such a piece of equipment are extremely varied. 

ACME Whistles is a company with a long history of world-class whistle engineering and manufacturing, and over the years we have been able to create a core range that covers all the bases and provides a sound solution for any requirement. We may be a little biased, but we truly believe that our whistles make the ideal gift for any occasion. 

We have put together this gift guide for the spring and summer of 2023 to highlight some of our all time favourites, as well as placing the spotlight on our newest addition: the ACME ALPHA.
