Handmade in Britain. Built for the field. Designed for the gundog handler.
The Huntsman is our own ProTrain™ take on the traditional gundog whistle lanyard — hand-braided in Britain to create a strong, distinctive and practical piece of training equipment that's equally at home on the training ground, at a working test or out in the field.
Each Huntsman combines a tightly woven two-colour braid with a long, comfortable neck cord and a substantial trigger-style metal clasp. We specifically chose this clasp to provide a secure, positive connection while still allowing your whistle or training accessory to be attached and removed quickly when required.
The first Huntsman colourway pairs Black & Orange — a classic working combination with excellent visibility amongst the usual greens, browns and blacks of field clothing and training equipment.
Why The Huntsman?
The whistle is one of the gundog handler's most important tools, so the lanyard carrying it shouldn't be an afterthought.
The Huntsman has been designed to provide a dependable connection between handler and whistle while remaining comfortable enough to wear throughout a training session or day's work. The hand-braided section gives the lanyard its distinctive character and a substantial feel without unnecessary bulk.
Finished with ProTrain attention to practical field use, this is a lanyard made to be used, not simply admired.

Bailey Says 🐾
“Apparently the orange makes it easier for the human to find. I find the whistle perfectly well — usually about half a second before he blows it.” — Bailey 🐾

How To Use
Place the lanyard comfortably around your neck and attach your compatible whistle to the trigger clasp. Adjust the position of the whistle so it can be reached naturally without looking away from your dog. Before training, check that the clasp has closed securely and inspect the lanyard for damage or excessive wear.
Care Guide
Remove loose mud and debris with a soft damp cloth and allow the lanyard to dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid prolonged soaking, harsh detergents, bleach and direct heat. Wipe the metal clasp clean after wet or muddy field use and allow it to dry thoroughly. Check the cord, braid and clasp periodically for signs of wear before use.
Professional Insight
A whistle lanyard is a simple piece of equipment, but small details matter when it is used repeatedly in the field. We favour a positive, substantial clasp that is easy to operate and a comfortable neck cord that allows the whistle to sit naturally within reach. The Huntsman combines those practical requirements with a hand-braided finish that gives each lanyard its distinctive character.
Training Academy Tip 💡
Position your whistle so it falls naturally to hand without needing to look down. During training, practise reaching for and using the whistle smoothly while keeping your eyes on the dog — particularly during distance handling and recall work.
ProTrain Principle
Good handling depends on clear communication and good preparation. Keep essential equipment simple, dependable and immediately accessible so your attention remains on the dog rather than your kit.

Pair The Huntsman with your preferred Acme or gundog training whistle and complete your field setup with a ProTrain slip lead, training dummy and reward pouch. Choosing contrasting colours can also make frequently used equipment easier to identify amongst your training kit.
