Here’s Travvy — that’s Masasyu’s Fellow Traveller, RL2, RA, CGC — with his loot from this weekend. Someday I will blog more about our journey together and why I believe that clicker training could even fix the U.S. Congress, but for the moment let it suffice to say that when Travvy says he works very hard, he’s not kidding. The big ribbon is for finishing our Level 2 title (RL2) in APDT Rally Obedience. APDT = the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Our trainer is Karen Ogden of Positive Rewards Dog Training, Vineyard Haven.
About Susanna J. Sturgis
Susanna edits for a living and writes to survive. Having been preoccupied with electoral politics since 2016, she is now getting back to writing -- and she's got plenty to write about. Her blog "The T-Shirt Chronicles," started at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, is a meandering memoir based on her out-of-control T-shirt collection. Her other blogs include "From the Seasonally Occupied Territories," about being a year-round resident of Martha's Vineyard, and "Write Through It," about writing, editing, and how to keep going.
Yay, Travvy! (And YAY, Susanna!)

Good work, Travvy (and now I know where you got the name Travvy)! Glad to hear that you’ve trained Susanna to obey a clicker.
