Crafted from corrosion-resistant nickel silver, it enables nuanced, multi-command communication essential for competitive trials and serious farm work. Its hands-free design and rich tonal range make it the definitive tool for trainers seeking precision and tradition in one iconic whistle. ## Description Product Description The ACME Shepherds Lip Whistle 576 is designed for trainers who value direct, expressive sound control through technique. Used with the lips, it allows gradual changes in pitch, tone, and intensity, supporting nuanced communication during advanced training work. As an acme dog whistle, it reflects long-standing acoustic principles applied across specialist training tools and dog agility equipment. With a responsive sound profile and minimal audible output to bystanders, this whistle is well suited to open spaces and traditional working environments. It fits naturally within everyday dog essentials and complements commonly used dog walking accessories. Shaped by generations of sound signalling expertise, it forms part of ACME’s broader range of whistles developed through specialist knowledge and long-standing practice. Directions Unlike other Acme whistles, this one actually fits inside your mouth when you play it. Simply place it gently on your tongue, without biting. Rest your lips around the sides to seal them, but leave a gap at the front of your mouth. Blow forwards and the sound will come naturally. You can control volume and pitch by changing the amount of air you put through the whistle. ## Features - TRADITIONAL SHEPHERDS WHISTLE, THE FULL COMMAND VOCABULARY OF SHEEPDOG HANDLING: The ACME Shepherds whistle is the traditional mouth-held variable-pitch tool of the British sheepdog handler. Unlike fixed-frequency dog whistles, it is held between the lips and teeth and controlled by tongue position, lip angle, and breath pressure to produce the full musical range of commands that advanced sheepdog training demands. - PRODUCES LEFT FLANK, RIGHT FLANK, STOP, WALK-UP AND RECALL: A SINGLE WHISTLE, MULTIPLE DISTINCT SIGNALS: The Shepherds whistle's variable-pitch system allows a trained handler to produce the distinct tonal patterns that correspond to each command in the sheepdog handling vocabulary. This range of discrete signals is not achievable with any fixed-frequency gundog whistle, it is unique to the Shepherds whistle format. - THE WHISTLE USED AT ISDS TRIALS AND 'ONE MAN AND HIS DOG' COMPETITIONS: The Shepherds whistle is the specified instrument at International Sheepdog Society trials, national sheepdog competitions, and working farm contexts. If you are training a Border Collie for competitive handling or advanced farm work, this is the whistle that defines the discipline. - NICKEL SILVER / PLASTIC CONSTRUCTION, NICKEL SILVER CONSTRUCTION: Nickel Silver body provides a clear, resonant tone and resists the corrosion that affects lesser materials in outdoor use. Quality materials from ACME's Birmingham factory, built for sustained outdoor field and farm use. - SUITABLE FOR ADVANCED TRAINERS, THERE IS A LEARNING CURVE: The Shepherds whistle requires practice to produce distinct, controlled tones through mouth-position technique. Most beginners spend several weeks developing basic tone production before moving to command-specific patterns. This is normal, expected, and part of what makes the skill meaningful. The reward is a communication vocabulary far broader than any fixed-frequency whistle. - WITH PRACTICE, WORKS WITH ANY BREED USING COMPLEX MUSICAL COMMANDS: While the natural home of the Shepherds whistle is Border Collie and sheepdog training, the variable-pitch capability makes it applicable to any working breed. Dedicated trainers handling HPR breeds, pastoral breeds, and versatile working dogs use Shepherds whistles when they need more complex command sequences than a fixed-frequency whistle can deliver. - HANDS-FREE DESIGN, HELD IN THE MOUTH DURING STOCK WORK: The Shepherds whistle is designed to be held between the lips and teeth, freeing both hands for gate handling, stock work, and navigating difficult terrain. This is a specific and practical advantage in farm and hill working contexts where the handler's hands must remain free. - A MEANINGFUL GIFT FOR COMPETITION HANDLERS AND WORKING FARMS: For serious sheepdog trial competitors, working farmers with Border Collies, or anyone involved in competitive sheepdog handling, an ACME Shepherds whistle is a gift with genuine practical and cultural significance from a brand that professional sheepdog handlers worldwide recognise. - PART OF ACME'S HERITAGE GUNDOG AND WORKING DOG RANGE: ACME Whistles has produced specialist working dog and field sport whistles in Birmingham, England since 1870. The Shepherds whistle is part of that unbroken tradition, a tool that has served British sheepdog handling culture on hill farms and competition fields for generations. - THE STANDARD THAT NOVICE HANDLERS ASPIRE TO: Handlers who begin sheepdog training with a fixed-frequency whistle typically progress to a Shepherds whistle as their skills develop. It is the destination, not the starting point, the whistle that marks the transition from basic recall training to genuine working dog communication. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002103CYS | | Batteries Included | No | | Batteries required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 8,588 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 16 in Dog Whistles | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (1,715) | | Date First Available | 30 April 2007 | | EU Energy Efficiency Label | A | | Item Weight | 10 g | | Item model number | PP183 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 7.62 x 0.51 x 15.24 cm; 10 g | | Quantity | 1 | | Size | 1 Count (Pack of 1) | | Specific Uses | Behaviour | ## Images ![ACME 576 Shepherds Whistle - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51jYJKjN1lL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - The Acme | Dog Training Whistle Nb. 576 Shepherd Mouth Whistle Plastic | Good Sound Quality, Weather-Proof Whistles | Designed and Made in The UK | Black - THE ACME | Dog Training Whistle Number 575 coming in various sizes & colours | Good Sound Quality, Weather-proof Whistles | Designed and Made in the UK | Nickel Silver - ACME Genuine No. 576 Professional Dog Training Shepherd's Lip, in Mouth, Whistle.
