Product Description

Logan Whistles

Dog Training whistles for all breeds

Logan Whistles were originally designed by the Logan Family in the UK for their working dogs. They were Harford Logan’s ‘secret weapon’ in helping him communicate with his dogs to win seven national Championships. There is now a full range of Logan ‘sheepdog’ whistles available – brass, stainless steel, lightweight alloy and non-metallic Delrin – and the tones they can create are suitable for training all working dogs or as an excellent recall whistle for pets. They are especially effective as dogs like and react well to the tones. Each of us creates a different sound using the same whistle so your ‘voice’ is unique and easily recognised by your dog resulting in faster reactions as they know for sure that it is you that is asking them for a trained response. Guidelines on using the whistle are provided on purchase.

How to Use a Logan Whistle Positioning it correctly in the mouth

The whistle sits against (not on) the tongue, tones created by air flowing through the top and bottom holes and out the slot at the front. Any side can be on top.

Seal the back of the whistle by pushing it against the tongue while at the same time pushing the whistle with the tongue. Allow your lips to fall around the edge and seal the edges taking care not to block the bottom air hole or slot.

Creating Tone variations

Breathe from your chest to send a blade of air through the whistle and out from the slot at the front.

Notice how your tongue moves when you try to whistle a tune; the action is instinctive and so will creating different tones with your Logan Whistle. Breathing down through the whistle gives lower tones; upwards sharper tones.

Use the whistle command first then the voice command the whistle tone replaces. Very soon the dog will respond to the whistle tone alone. Use a consistent tone for each command. Practice out of the dog’s hearing.

Logan Turbo

Widely used by Sheep Dog Trial competitors as dogs react very well to its tones even in very difficult conditions – but a whistle suitable for all dog breeds. The Logan Turbo solid brass whistle is precision crafted from a solid piece of top quality lead-free brass. Our Turbo design affects the timbre (or ‘voice’) of your whistle tones in a way that really helps them cut through interfering sound. It it capable of even greater volume for those who work at distance or where there is frequent sound interference.
