Nice, small and very Loud

La clochette a un beau son très agréable et assez fort pour avertir un ours sauf lorsque nous sommes près d'une rivière dont le courant est bruyant. C'est là que le sifflet devient intéressant. Le sifflet est assez impressionnant et il est très léger. Le son est puissant et strident ... Je suis très content de cet achat.

Bell and key ring - carabiner are solidly made. Bell is loud, and has a clear tone. The bonus whistle is lightweight pot metal, and has a lightweight split ring - but lightweight is good for hiking. Whistle is loud.

We've recently moved to the mountains and I walk my dog a lot, sondtimes when it's dark in the a.m. and p.m. My neighbors said to get a bell and/or whistle because "bears don't like to be surprised". I don't want you be surprised by a bear...so I've armed myself with this purchase. I must say the quality of the bell and whistle is excellent. The pieces are weighty ( not heavy) and the finish looks expensive. They come with a convenient caribiner- like ring to hook them into a belt loop or fanny pack. The bell sound is very Zen,cand the even whistle is a nice sound ...not ear- splitting. I have only carried it for a few nights so I can't really say yet if it works...but as long as I don't see bears I'll be glad to give the credit to this duo. Nice purchase.

I like this item well enough that, when the split key ring I used broke and I lost the bell while hiking, I purchased another one. Pros: - bell is a perfect size for a medium-large dog - bell sounds nice (not annoying) -- it "tinkles" instead of "jingles" - bell is decently loud - bell looks good (we get lots of compliments on the trails) - whistle is convenient and sounds loudly Cons: - bell doesn't ring all the time due to restrictive pendulum - bell isn't brass or bronze -- coating wore off in places due to abrasion (but no rust) - lanyard is fragile and therefore useless (I uses a carabiner to attach to my dog's collar) - chain on whistle is fragile (but you can run a split key ring through the whistle) - a bit expensive for what it is
