This approach reflects the long-standing acoustic expertise behind every acme dog whistle. Suited to structured training, trials, and open-field environments, this whistle fits naturally within everyday dog essentials and complements commonly used dog walking accessories. Developed as part of ACME’s wider range of professional and working whistles, it offers a dependable approach to training where clarity, control, and consistency are required. Directions Whistle used to help with dog training Box Contains 1 x 212 - Orange Whistle Review: A great training tool! - My dog responds very well to this and it has helped significantly towards training his recall. The whistle is well made and the bright colour means I'll never lose it. A must have for any dog owner! Review: Excellent training tool and toy. Worth the money. - I have two of these. I would not use anything else. Have tried others but they just aren't as good. I have them away to neighbour children. You might be able to train a dog to respond to any whistle on the front garden, but the cheap ones just can't be heard at any distance, and the don't get the same level of response. We use this for recall and for hide and seek. Most dogs respond better to a whistle than verbal command . They quickly learn that sound means a reward. We started with our pup in between two people, running back and forth to whoever blew the whistle to get a treat. Later we moved to different parts of the house and garden, and have progressed now to the level that my son can hide a few blocks away and blow the whistle and she can find him. To.be honest, I can't hear it at that distance . This is in the city without houses and trees blocking sound, and So much background noise. But it seems she can and she can find him. Every time the dogs hears the whistle and finds the person the dog gets treats, a favourite toy, or both. It may sound like a silly game, but if the worst should ever happen and dog be lost, it means the family could search blowing whistles and she would know to come to the sound of she heard them. The sound would carry much further than shouting. I have never had a dog separated from me as an adult, but it's always good to prepare for disasters. I also hope it will help her develop scenting abilities, as the whistle is only blown once, and she has to use her nose to find the exact hiding spot. Have also used this to call her to my side when she really wanted to chase a huge rat. I find the whistle cuts through all the excitement and dogs are much more likely to respond even when highly excited . And of course it is just fun. Malinois need a lot of activity and enrichment. This gives her a chance to have fun and test her abilities , while.learning skills that could be useful in the future. ## Features - LOWEST FREQUENCY IN THE ACME GUNDOG RANGE, 5200Hz FOR MAXIMUM PENETRATION: The ACME 212 dog whistle is ACME's lowest-frequency fixed-pitch gun dog whistle at 5200Hz, producing a deep, penetrating tone that travels through dense vegetation, strong wind, and challenging terrain where higher-frequency whistles lose definition. Designed for handlers who need maximum command range in the most demanding field conditions. - BUILT FOR HPR BREEDS AND WIDE-RANGING WORKING DOGS: The 212 is the choice for Hunt, Point, Retrieve breeds including Vizslas, Weimaraners, German Shorthaired Pointers, and Brittany Spaniels, dogs that range significantly wider and faster than retrievers or spaniels. The 5200Hz frequency matches the working distances and hunting ranges of these breeds in a way the 211.5 cannot. - PENETRATES DENSE COVER AND STRONG WIND: The Pro-Trialer's frequency profile is engineered for field conditions where other whistles fail. Heavy bracken, woodland edge, and strong coastal or moorland wind all reduce a whistle's effective range. At 5200Hz, the 212 maintains a usable recall signal where 210.5 and 211.5 frequencies cannot. - EFFECTIVE FOR HARD-OF-HEARING AND OLDER DOGS: The deeper 5200Hz tone carries further with less effort and is more readily detected by older dogs or those with partial hearing loss. Handlers whose dogs have developed age-related hearing sensitivity frequently find the 212 produces noticeably more reliable recall responses than their previous higher-pitched whistle. - VERSATILE ALL-ROUNDER FOR EVERYDAY PARK WALKS IN NOISY ENVIRONMENTS: The 212's deep, penetrating frequency is also practical for everyday dog owners who train in noisy urban parks, busy footpaths, or environments where a higher-pitched whistle struggles to stand out from background noise. Effective as an everyday dog training whistle for recall with any breed, not just professional field sports applications. - BLOW-STYLE FLEXIBILITY, PRODUCES CONSISTENT OUTPUT REGARDLESS OF TECHNIQUE: The 212 is documented as producing a consistent 5200Hz signal across a wider range of blow styles and pressures than many dog whistles. This makes it more forgiving for handlers who have not yet developed a consistent blowing technique, while still delivering the precision experienced trainers require. - THE PROFESSIONAL TRIALING SPECIFICATION: The Pro-Trialer designation reflects real-world field use. This whistle is used at HPR breed trials, working tests, and by professional trainers handling wide-ranging dogs who have moved to a lower frequency because their dog's working environment demands greater range. - WORKS WITH ALL BREEDS AND TRAINING LEVELS: Although positioned for HPR and demanding-conditions work, the 212's consistent 5200Hz frequency works well with dogs of all breeds. Border Collies, Labradors, and crossbreeds all respond to the 212's clear output, particularly useful wherever distance or environmental noise is a challenge. - UK DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED, ACME WHISTLES, BIRMINGHAM SINCE 1870: The 212 Pro-Trialer carries ACME's heritage of acoustic precision, manufactured in Birmingham to the same standards as the 210.5 and 211.5, extended to a lower frequency for wider-ranging field applications. - SOLVES THE WINDY TERRAIN RECALL PROBLEM: Handlers who struggle with reliable recall in exposed or gusty conditions often find a frequency change is the only practical solution. The 212 Pro-Trialer's deeper pitch holds its carrying distance in conditions that defeat lighter, higher-frequency whistles. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00C1BMG80 | | Batteries Included | No | | Batteries required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 71,508 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 78 in Camping & Hiking Survival Whistles | | Colour | Orange | | Date First Available | 19 Mar. 2013 | | Item Weight | 4.54 g | | Item model number | 717668722129 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pet Type | Dogs | | Product Dimensions | 8 x 1.5 x 1 cm; 4.54 g | | Quantity | 1 | | Size | 212 | ## Images ![ACME 212 Pro-Trialer Dog Whistle - Orange - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51z6WBe+sPL.jpg) ![ACME 212 Pro-Trialer Dog Whistle - Orange - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xFW3MzZcL.jpg) ![ACME 212 Pro-Trialer Dog Whistle - Orange - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719UKmC0+6L.jpg) ![ACME 212 Pro-Trialer Dog Whistle - Orange - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71f-q11vyxL.jpg) ![ACME 212 Pro-Trialer Dog Whistle - Orange - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714eZOhJ5WL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great training tool! *by S***Y on 9 June 2026* My dog responds very well to this and it has helped significantly towards training his recall.
