Description

This presentation talks to the importance of timing in our training. This is done under the umbrella of talking about bridges, ABC's and what's most relevant for the learner in front of us. There will be examples used with dogs, a goldfish and a cockatoo to help illustrate the points made in the presentation. The participants of the class will leave with a new way of looking at bridges and a heightened appreciation of the importance of good timing, not just when using a bridge but in all aspects of their animal training. Learning Objectives Define terminology. Discuss placement of a Bridge in ABC's - With it being both a Consequence and an Antecedent. Talk about the importance of timing.
