| Abstract: Behavior analysis has a long history in animal training. This paper is to introduce those outside of animal training to the concept of the Intermediate Bridge. Bridges mark an instant of correct behavior, when training animals or people. The Intermediate Bridge is a specific kind of bridge which greatly enhances effectiveness and efficiency of communication. It takes one minute to teach, and can cut 25-75% of training time. It leads us into two-way communication with the animals, where we can ask questions and get objective answers. Video of work with animals and demonstrations will be included. |
