Your dog can do the paw symbol for "live long and prosper" when you give the cue "Spock." You'd buy a com-badge clicker in a heartbeat. You'd like to try clicktraining a horta, but are concerned that would violate the prime directive. Everytime Bones says, "He's dead, Jim," you try to observe the decedent offering a behavior anyway. You secretly believe someone used clicker training on Leonard Nimoy to achieve the arched eyebrows effect. You want to hear Data's definition of OC, R+, R-, P+ and P-. If Captain Janeway would just click her heels together 3 times, everyone on Voyager could go home. (Oops-- that's a YKYA Wizard of Oz Clicker Trekker...) You advocate the replacement of phasers with clickers. You'd like to learn shaping techniques from Odo (or just have him change into different obstacles while training so you don't have to get out of the recliner). You've tried using bars of latinum as a treat for your Basenji because it *almost* rhymes with Ferengi. You're convinced that a half hour alone with Checkov and a clicker and you'll having him pronouncing "V's" with the best of them. You've named your pets Troi, Dax, Luke, Han, Chewie and C3PO. (Oops-- that's a YKYA Star Wars Clicker Trekker...) The real trouble with tribbles is that if you jackpot one, you have hundreds more to train. You'd like access to transporter technology until you've proofed your recalls. You've actually translated the obedience titles into Klingon. You prefer to spell cue as "Q." Forget the recliner-- you want a replicator and a holodeck! ---Beth Rettenmund Zoe (One 2 beam up!)
