ABC of Behavior Change

How to Change Behavior

​

Formula is A-B-C as easy as 1-2-3 

​

1. Antecedent is what comes before the behavior, setting it in motion. "The 1st domino that sets the rest off"

   Ex. Whistling to your pup may be a trigger to have him/her look at you

2. Behavior is an act

   Ex. Your dog looks at you when you whistle

3. Consequence is an outcome

   Ex. Your dog receives praise
