The Acme 210.5 and Acme 211.5 dog whistles are both highly regarded for dog training, but they are designed for slightly different purposes due to differences in pitch and sound characteristics:

Pitch:

• Acme 210.5: Produces a higher-pitched sound, typically at the top end of the frequency spectrum. It’s particularly good for spaniels and other breeds with sensitive hearing. The pitch remains constant, making it ideal for consistent recall training.
• Acme 211.5: Produces a slightly lower-pitched sound compared to the 210.5. It's often favored by trainers of retrievers and other working breeds because it cuts through wind and other environmental noise more effectively.

Range:

• Acme 210.5: The high-pitched tone is more effective over shorter distances and is often preferred for close-range training.
• Acme 211.5: The lower pitch carries further, making it a good choice for longer-range training in wide-open areas.

Purpose and Training Style:

• Acme 210.5: Ideal for general recall training and obedience work, especially with dogs that respond well to higher frequencies.
• Acme 211.5: Better for outdoor or field training, where longer distances and louder environmental conditions are common.

Both whistles are non-pea whistles, meaning they won't get jammed or freeze in cold weather, and both offer consistent, reliable sounds. The choice between the two depends on the training environment, the dog's breed, and your personal preference regarding the sound frequency.

The Acme 210.5 dog whistle is well-suited for breeds with more sensitive hearing, as it produces a high-pitched sound that works effectively in closer-range training situations. The pitch of the 210.5 is often preferred for dogs that respond to sharper tones, making it a popular choice among certain types of breeds. Here are some breeds that are commonly trained with the Acme 210.5 whistle:

1. Spaniels (Cocker Spaniels, Springer Spaniels)

• Spaniels, known for their sharp hearing and sensitivity to sound, respond particularly well to the high-frequency pitch of the 210.5. This makes it a top choice for trainers working with spaniels, especially in recall and obedience training.

2. Terriers (Jack Russell Terrier, Border Terrier)

• Terriers, being energetic and highly responsive, often benefit from the sharp, clear sound of the 210.5 whistle. It helps in controlling their active nature during close-range commands.

3. Collies (Border Collie, Rough Collie)

• Collies are intelligent and agile dogs that respond well to quick, high-pitched commands. The 210.5 whistle works effectively for commands during agility training or herding tasks.

4. Toy Breeds (Poodles, Bichon Frisé, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel)

• Smaller breeds tend to have more sensitive hearing and may react better to higher-pitched frequencies. The 210.5 is great for training toy breeds in obedience and recall commands.

5. Other Gundog Breeds

• While spaniels are a top choice, other gundogs that respond to short-range, high-pitched cues, such as certain types of Setters or Pointers, can also benefit from the 210.5.

Ideal Training Scenarios:

• Close-range training, obedience, recall, and working in quieter or controlled environments.
• When you need sharp, clear commands that require immediate attention from the dog.

The Acme 210.5 whistle is particularly favored for dogs that need precision and quick responsiveness, making it a great choice for those breeds that are more attuned to higher frequencies.

The Acme 211.5 dog whistle is well-suited for breeds that are typically used in outdoor environments, such as field trials or hunting, as its lower pitch carries further and cuts through environmental noise. This makes it ideal for dogs that work at longer distances or in areas with more distractions. Here are some breeds commonly trained with the Acme 211.5 whistle:

1. Retrievers (Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever)

• Retrievers, often used in hunting and fieldwork, are trained to respond to commands over long distances. The lower pitch of the 211.5 whistle makes it easier for the sound to travel in outdoor conditions, making it a favorite among retriever trainers.

2. Pointers (English Pointer, German Shorthaired Pointer)

• Pointers, another popular gundog breed, benefit from the 211.5’s long-range sound. It allows trainers to maintain control and communication during field trials or hunting, where the dogs may be working at greater distances.

3. Hounds (Beagle, Bloodhound)

• Hounds, known for their tracking and scenting abilities, often need to be called from a distance during outdoor activities. The 211.5 whistle’s sound travels well, making it easier to recall these breeds during long-distance work.

4. Spaniels (Springer Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels)

• While the 210.5 is popular for close-range work with spaniels, the 211.5 is also frequently used for spaniels when they are working at longer distances, especially in hunting or field environments.

5. Sheepdogs and Herding Breeds (Border Collie, Australian Shepherd)

• Herding dogs like Border Collies may work far away from their handlers while controlling livestock. The 211.5 whistle can cut through the noise of open fields and wind, ensuring commands are heard clearly.

6. Working Breeds (German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois)

• Working dogs in roles like search and rescue or police work may benefit from the longer-range, lower-pitched tone of the 211.5 whistle, allowing them to hear commands even in noisy environments.

Ideal Training Scenarios:

• Long-range training, outdoor fieldwork, and environments where there is wind, background noise, or distractions.
• When you need a whistle that cuts through environmental sounds and carries over longer distances.

The Acme 211.5 whistle is a versatile choice for breeds that perform fieldwork, hunting, herding, or other tasks that require long-distance communication. It is particularly favored for its clear, far-reaching sound that helps maintain control and communication in challenging outdoor environments.
