ALMOST TO THE FINISH LINE
You are in the home stretch now! Hopefully by now you have been able to get your animal into the desired position using the lessons from the previous days of the challenge. Today we are going to focus on building duration for holding the desired position. There are many ways to build duration. For this behavior I do recommend building duration by adding on split seconds of time before bridging and reinforcing. I do use a bridging stimulus for building this duration. See below for a really great course on the bridging stimulus.
You don't need to say "hold" or any other sort of "keep going signal." To learn why, see the additional resources below.
