Acme Alpha 210.5: Higher pitch (slightly "sharper"), designed especially for dogs working at close range (e.g., spaniels, retrievers). The sound does not carry as far but works well in dense terrain and at close distances. Many find the whistle's sound easier to distinguish from background noise, which can be beneficial, for example, in hunting in bushes or water areas.
Acme Alpha 211.5: Low and full sound, designed for dogs working at a distance (e.g., herding dogs, working retrievers). The sound carries better over long distances in open terrain. Often the choice for trainers who need good range and consistent sound.
Yes. Acme whistles are designed to work reliably in all weather conditions – including rain, cold, and humidity. They do not clog easily, and the pitch remains stable regardless of temperature.
Yes, but it is recommended to use different pitches for different dogs if you are handling multiple dogs at the same time. This way, the dog learns to recognize its own signal. In Acme whistles, each model (e.g., 210.5 or 211.5) always sounds at exactly the same frequency – this makes switching whistles or using a spare whistle easy.
