Back-Chaining: A teaching methodology, where the training of the chained behaviors occurs in reverse order. The final behavior is taught first, and the second-to-last behavior is added and taught next, and so forth.

For example: the very first behavior a back-chained 'live find' dog is taught: is to play with new humans (the reward). For a Stay-and-Bark, the second behavior would be to 'bark at a stranger' and then play.
