Graduate of Karen Pryor Academy makes headlines

A member of the first graduating class of Karen Pryor Academy, Terri P. Tepper of Barrington, IL, was recently profiled in the Barrington Courier Review. Terri's training business is the Cultivated Canine, [1] also located in Barrington, IL. An excerpt from the profile:

"Terri Tepper, a Barrington area resident for over 40 years, is a former teacher, published author and portrait photographer but recently shifted her attention to her love of dogs and is the only certified clicker [1] method dog trainer in Illinois.

"Clicker training [1] is a dog obedience course that stresses positive reinforcement [1] and Tepper said the training is more fun for dogs and the animals are more receptive to learning."
