About the class:
In this class, Mary will share a little bit in general about building duration and then talk about using behaviour chains to build duration using a PORTL example.

Absolutely LOVE this webinar!!! Go Mary! Duration has been my one aspect of behavior that I have difficulty with at times, and especially with equines keeping their heads forward for long durations. So THANK YOU Mary and Ryan!
