 <description> &lt;p&gt;A member of the first graduating class of Karen Pryor Academy, Terri P. Tepper of Barrington, IL, was recently profiled in the &lt;i&gt;Barrington Courier Review&lt;/i&gt;. Terri&amp;#39;s training business is the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cultivatedcaninetraining.com/&quot;&gt;Cultivated Canine,&lt;/a&gt; also located in Barrington, IL. An excerpt from the profile: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;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 &lt;a class=&quot;glossary-term&quot; href=&quot;/glossary#term205&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;Clicker: A toy noisemaker. Animal trainers make use of the clicker as an event marker to mark a desired response. The sound of the clicker is an excellent marker because it is unique, quick, and consistent. You can find several different types of clickers in our store.&quot;&gt;clicker&lt;/acronym&gt;&lt;/a&gt; method dog trainer in Illinois. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;a class=&quot;glossary-term&quot; href=&quot;/taxonomy/term/206&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;Clicker training: A term coined by Karen Pryor and defined by her as a subset of operant conditioning using positive reinforcement, extinction, negative punishment, and an event marker to modify behavior. &quot;&gt;Clicker training&lt;/acronym&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is a dog obedience course that stresses &lt;a class=&quot;glossary-term&quot; href=&quot;/glossary#term240&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;Positive reinforcement: (R+) Adding something the animal will work for to strengthen (increase the frequency of) a behavior. For example, giving the dog a treat for sitting in order to increase the probability that the dog will sit again. &quot;&gt;positive reinforcement&lt;/acronym&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and Tepper said the training is more fun for dogs and the animals are more receptive to learning.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Tamar Geller and Opportunities for Clicker Training Instructors</title>
 <link>http://www.clickertraining.com/node/1380</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;Recently,  author of &amp;quot;The Loved Dog&amp;quot;, Tamar Geller was featured on Oprah.  Tamar Geller advocates a positive, hands-off approach to dog training using rewards rather than &lt;a class=&quot;glossary-term&quot; href=&quot;/glossary#term244&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;Punishment: In operant conditioning, a consequence to a behavior in which something is added to or removed from the situation to make the behavior less likely to occur in the future.&quot;&gt;punishment&lt;/acronym&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to show the dog what is expected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Geller has an enormous reach into the homes of the American public through shows and publications such as Oprah, 20/20, USA Today and The New York Times Magazine. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thousands of people will be discovering the joys and advantages of a positive, hands-off approach to dog training - and apart from reading &amp;quot;The Loved Dog&amp;quot;, where will they find it in their town? &lt;/p&gt;
