Training That Works For Your Dog with April Frost

Commands and rewards are explained from the dogs point of view, so there's no guesswork about what should or should not work. Each command is explained and shown, in sequence; this means you can master a command before moving on to the next section of the video.

I highly recommend this dog training video to anyone who wants to train a dog. This video should be good for first time dog trainers, and also people who have trained dogs before, and want a few new pointers. We all have something to learn.

Gentle and Effective Methods Clearly Explained-- A Winner   August 27, 2000

This is an excellent tape. Frost walks the viewer through teaching the basic obedience commands to your dog-- sit, stay, down, heel, and come. Her methods are gentle but effective, and based on positive reinforcement with lots of praise and the occasional treat. Corrections are just that-- a way to show the dog what you want, not a punishment. Frost gives attention to showing viewers how to use equipment such as training collars in a safe and humane way, and is very oriented to teaching dogs good manners (not jumping up on visitors) and safety skills (not leaping out of cars or rushing through doors) essential to comfortable everyday living with a dog.

I've seen a bunch of tapes, and this is by far the best. April really knows how to explain things from the dog's perspective, and that makes the training much more than the usual 'do this, do that'. The other thing I love is how the material is organized and indexed: you just do one thing at a time, move on to the next lesson when you like. This is an absolute winner!

I have seen 3 or 4 different dog training videos. April Frost is the first that shows clearly that any dog owner can learn the techniques to train their dog to sit, stay, come, heel, wait, don't jump, etc, within minutes. April Frost does not waste the viewer's time.
