Ha, ha, ha, ha...I just got a Logan whistle...what a fun time learnng!!!!!

[@bwrstockdogtraining2723]

Hahaha. It’s definitely a learning curve! Hang in there. 😊

I just got my ACME whistle in the mail, and I deserve to brag by the sounds of it, I got sounds straight away, woohoo. But I'm finding it very hard to control the sounds, to replicate them, so will need lots of practice. Well it's a long drive to town.

@@jogrant3851 Very good! Yes you do have bragging rights! 😉

I can consistently produce different tones but cannot control which tone comes out. How many hours of practice before I can create the tones I want?

[@bwrstockdogtraining2723]

@@treelinehugger I sense your frustration. I totally understand. I had the same problem. It really does take a learning curve and a lot of practice. What worked best for me was to whistle tunes to develop my muscle memory. Also, I tried several different brands of whistles until I found the one that worked best for me. I think I showed it on my other whistle video. It’s an old brass whistle. It’s very thin and more comfortable in my mouth. I think it might’ve been homemade. My friend gave it to me as a gift well over 25 years ago and I still use it. I like my fancy Logan whistle also. I can’t say how many hours it will take as it would be different for each individual. Hang in there. Perseverance and practice. You’ll get it.

How about teaching the sheepdog to listen to the whistle?

[@bwrstockdogtraining2723]

Thank you for the question. I’ll try to have a new video out on whistles by the end of the month.

[@gisellegarcia5725]

I got some sounds out!

[@bwrstockdogtraining2723]

Awesome! It’ll get better from there!

[@jillhorse8131]

I AM LIKE THE GIRL IN THE HAT . NOTHING

[@bwrstockdogtraining2723]

Haha It took me trying constantly for a week before I got my first sound. I have a better video called Shepherds Whistle Commands part one. I take some time to explain how to make sounds. Good luck!

All I can get out of my mouth is this horrible tea kettle sound..

[@bwrstockdogtraining2723]

I have a better video out if you haven’t seen it that might be more helpful. It’s called Shepherd Whistle Commands, part one. It explains better how to get a whistle out. Relax your mouth and blow easy or gently. We like the Logan whistle the best. Good luck
