SportDOG Gonia Special Whistle without Pea

The pealess whistle — won’t freeze, ideal for cold weather and close-range work

A standard pea whistle can freeze in bitter cold — the small ball inside the whistle ices up and kills the tone at exactly the moment you need it most. The Special without Pea eliminates that problem entirely. Without the pea, there’s nothing to freeze, nothing to stick, and nothing to go wrong in sub-zero conditions. It produces a clean, no-trill, high-frequency tone that’s consistent every time you blow it regardless of temperature. It’s also the right choice for close-range training and puppy work where a quieter, more controlled signal is better than a full-volume trill.

Many handlers carry both — the Roy Gonia Special for most conditions and the Special without Pea as a cold weather backup. The double lanyard keeps both around your neck and ready.
