What materials is the whistle made from?

Can this whistle be used for animal training?

Troubleshooting

Whistle produces no sound or a weak sound.

Ensure the whistle is not blocked by debris. Rinse with water and allow to dry. Verify you are blowing with sufficient, consistent airflow. Check that the lanyard is not obstructing the whistle's chambers.

Replace the lanyard with a new one. Consider using a more robust lanyard material if frequent heavy use is expected.

Difficulty producing the shrill tone.

Practice blowing with a firm, sharp exhale. Ensure your lips are sealed around the mouthpiece correctly. The whistle is designed to be easy to blow, so significant difficulty may indicate an obstruction or a faulty unit.
