What some of our customer`s have said:
Received the whistles back in December. Sorry it's
taken so long for me to let you know. Just wanted to say 'thank
you' for you prompt and courteous attention. I'm planning on starting
my collie on herding in the next year (he's still a puppy) and I'm
excited about learning to use the whistle and teach my puppy the
commands. I'm beginning to learn how to make sounds with it.
Again, thank you for you rapid and courteous response to my request.
Best wishes from America for the New Year.
Thank you very much for such a professional service. I am
well impressed.
I just could not resist in going to the sheep and test this
fine whistle - and I am truly amazed - what a tone! Very nice pitch,
in the middle on the scale I should say, and according to my opinion,
a whistle that has a medium pitch is easier to hear in windy
conditions and at a longer range, than many of those extremely high
pitched whistles. This COMMANDER whistle will be a dear companion
from now on - and as an extra bonus it's engraved as well.
By the way, As a matter of fact, I have a border collie named
"star", It spends so much time in sport and play everyday,
and The sport place is a big sport-park and in fact of the great
distances. I can't call loud enough to call "star" back,
so I think the sheepdog-whistle can help me to train my dog to obey
my command at a distance.........There are hundred of border collie
here in Taiwan, all the border collie breeders do not have any usefull
tool to train their dog to expand the unique qualities of border
collie, so I shall be the first one who try to use sheepdog-whistle
called "Commander" to train border collie in Taiwan
Anne has learned how to use the whistle now – it took her
about two weeks before she really could control it, but hereafter
the real work started – to learn commands that our dogs understand.
It is a slow process for us, but not for Oskar and Duncan,
they learn so fast – we mainly use it during our walks in the
woods nearby, in the case the dogs get too excited about some wild-deer
!! We wish you all the best for the new year
to come.
Thanks for the whistles......Incidentally, at the moment I
run four dogs as a team, each with their own commands (at times
not all of them suitable for using as recognized commands!).
The Commander is super- very easy to use and has mellow pleasant
sounds, previously we have been on the red "plastic"
whistle and the dogs think I have been playing them a Christmas
medley...because I can't re-produce the same sound each time!
I shall be trialing Gill and Nell, the two youngest dogs, next season
in the North Yorkshire Nursery Trials and wait to see how things
go on.
" My new whistle is terrific, and am surprised at how
much easier it is to use than my old plastic one. The tone is lovely,
not at all shrill."

Thank you for the tags and whistle they all arrived safely. I have
almost mastered the whistle now
and I am now the envy of Kim my other half who has decided she too
would like to try and master
the Geoff Austin soooooper doooooooper whistles.
See attached the 'boys' Blaze is now 7 months old and Storm is 11
weeks old. Both are being trained for working trials (field trials).

Thank you for the prompt and friendly service. Now that I have
the proper tool, I can't wait
for us to get down to some serious work.

I have received my order and am very pleased with both the whistle
and tag.
