Dog training is a kink that includes variations of traditional BDSM aspects, such as dominance and submission, ownership and control, role-play, and bondage. It involves the submissive being treated as an animal, in this case a dog that is completely dependent upon their owner. The dog will be fed, watered, played with, and trained by their Master/Mistress.
Part of what attracts many to this kink is its flexibility – it depends fully on what those involved are hoping to get from the experience; it can be nothing more than role play or an escape from reality. For the Dominant – complete control; their animal is at their beck and call. For the Submissive – dependence, loss of control, humiliation, punishment, restricted movement and more.
Safety First
Before you get started, it’s vital that you talk about what both parties expect from the play session, safety issues, and agree on rules before play begins. Does your dog want to lounge about, or take on a more active personality? Will you physically punish your pup with some gentle spanking, or will they be forced to spend an agreed length of time caged up, alone? Should the dog eat human food and use the toilet conventionally, or will pet toys and tools like food and water dishes and a litterbox be incorporated into the pet play?
Choosing a safeword that will designate that an individual needs a break from the session is an important part of any BDSM play. In addition to this, agreeing on a gesture for when play begins and ends will signal the beginning and end of the session – perhaps the Master/Mistress will slip a collar on the pet to start the play, and the dog will lick the ankles of their partner to signal they are ready to transform back into a human.
If you decide to use a collar, ensure that it fits comfortably and safely. Tighten the collar slowly and make sure there is a two finger gap between the neck and the collar. Never tug on the collar, or a leash attached to the collar, as a form of disciplining your pet – a sharp tug would cause serious damage.
What to wear?
The most crucial canine accessory is the collar, and there are plenty to choose from. Buying a lead and a collar together means that you can get started with your dog training as soon as it arrives. Go for something strong, secure, and comfortable, like the Sinful Collar (€25.26, kinky.ie) It doesn’t end there, you can wear ears, tail, a fur coat – you can be as creative as you’d like with your ensemble! For first-timers, wearing something comfortable and familiar can help with the transition, like favourite lingerie, teamed with matching a sexy collar and tail.
What activities are involved in training?
The simplest element of dog training is the command. You can start with the basics – “sit,” “stay,” “roll over,” or “fetch.” As you progress, you can try slightly more complex commands, such as “fetch my slippers” or “suck my dick.” As with any type of pet play, sometimes it can be sexual, and sometimes can be completely non-sexual. Again, it depends on what you and your partner want from the scene. Keep in mind that the dog in this scenario cannot communicate like a human, so it is imperative that you discuss the scene beforehand. Other elements of training can include eating, behaviour, and mouth training.
Hard-core dog trainer may want to use tools to train their dog;
1. Restraints may be used to restrict your pet’s ability to stand up
2. Muzzles/ ball gags may prevent the pup from speaking, such as Fetish Fantasy Breathable Ball Gag (€25.26, kinky.ie) or if you’re new to ball gags there’s the Fetish Fantasy Ball Gag Training System (€25.26, kinky.ie).
3. Shock/choke collars may be used to discipline unruly dogs. Being beaten or spanked with a rolled-up newspaper, flogger, or Riding Crop (€16.42, kinky.ie) also works.
Have fun, doggies!
