ABC Of Dog Behaviors
A stand for at antecedent or in other words, what happened before the behavior. (The dig was laying on the bed.)
B stands for the behavior. When their was a knock at the door, (the dog started barking loudly and jumping around.)
C stands for consequence. If no consequences or reward given, the behavior continues. If you reward this bad behavior you don't want, it will continue, as the dog has no clue you want a different behavior. (Telling your dog to come to your side and reinforcing that behavior with a treat, praise, or clicker.)
