Whumpee obediently sat off to the side of Whumper's feet while Whumper flipped through the TV channels.

"Nothing on TV today", Whumper sighed and glanced at Whumpee, "pet?"

Whumpee hurried to their knees and crawled to Whumper. They then laid their head on Whumper's lap to wait for head pats or a command.

Whumper squeezed Whumpee's cheeks lovingly, "I am so bored, you got anything to entertain me, I don't care what."

Whumpee thought for a minute and had a thought. Would it be too much they questioned. 'I can test it', Whumpee thought to themself.

They crawled toward the coffee table and eyed a cup of water Whumper was sipping on. They eyed Whumper, who was watching them curiously. They raised a shaky hand towards it.

"No bad pet", Whumper stated, but still with a smile, "no making messes."

Whumpee laid their head on the coffee table and tried their best to make puppy dog eyes. They mustered a whine.

"Thanks for trying", Whumper smiled, "do you need to go outside?"

Whumpee jumped back and crawled towards the door excitedly; ready to go relieve themself. Whumper didn't pick up on their signs earlier.... they had to go bad now.

Whumper scrolled on their phone while Whumpee wandered around the yard.

"Hmm, things every pet should know how to do", Whumper spoke to themself as they started to read a post, "maybe we can work on a new trick."

"Muzzle training", Whumper snickered to themself. They had tried to do muzzle training a few months ago, but Whumpee had no interest at all. It ended in a horrible mess, and Whumper swore never again.

Whumper looked up at Whumpee for a few moments.

"I would like to have them muzzle trained, just to say they were. I would never cover their cute face", Whumper smiled.

"Use peanut butter or whip cream...", Whumper began to read.

Whumper dug through their closet until they found Whumpee's muzzle.

They tried it on themself first.

"Yep, that should still fit comfortably", Whumper smiled.

Whumpee was playing with a toy in the living room when Whumper came in carrying the muzzle, a training clicker, and a whipped cream can.

Whumpee nervously backed away until they bumped into the wall.

"Whumpee come", Whumper sat on the ground, "come on", they sounded cheerful.

Whumpee continued to stare at Whumper nervously. They tried to back even farther into the wall. There was no other exit, Whumper had trapped them. The only way out was trying to run past them or if the wall would move.

"Whumpee, come here", Whumper said a little sterner.

Whumpee shuddered at the stern voice and slowly started to crawl toward Whumper.

"You know better than to disobey", Whumper scolded, "are you a good Whumpee or not?"

"Good Whumpee", Whumpee whispered.

"Then prove it", Whumper held up the muzzle, "I would like you to be trained with this. It's not something permanent, I just want you to be able to do it."

Whumpee looked at the muzzle questioningly.

"I just washed it as well", Whumper patted Whumpee's head, "you'll be alright. I promise I won't let anything hurt you."

Whumpee whined lowly.

"Okay go ahead and give it a sniff", Whumper held it to Whumpee's face.

Whumpee sniffed over the torture device.

*Click... click*

Whumper clicked the clicker to tell Whumpee they did good.

Whumper smiled as they offered Whumpee a treat.

"And sniff again", Whumper held up the muzzle.

Whumpee did as they were told a little quicker this time.

*Click... click*

"Good job Whumpee", Whumper grinned, "I think you'll like this next part, though it's going to be a bit messy."

Whumper sprayed a dab of whipped cream into the muzzle and held it up to Whumpee.

"Clean it up", Whumper smiled.

Whumpee cautiously leaned into the muzzle and gave a small lick before they realized what it was. They lapped the rest up in seconds.

"Muzzle yourself", Whumper made a command.

Whumpee looked up with concern. 'What?', they questioned to themself.

Whumper sprayed more whipped cream into the muzzle and held it up for Whumpee, "clean."

Whumpee quickly leaned into the muzzle and lapped up the sweet cream.

"Muzzle yourself", Whumper commanded again.

Whumpee looked up with a questioning look and cocked their head to the side.

*Click... click*

Whumpee happily received another treat.

"You're doing so good", Whumper stood, "I'll be right back... stay."

Whumper reached for the whipped cream can and sprayed a tiny bit under Whumpee's nose.

They chuckled as they watched Whumpee work to lick the cream off.

Whumper came back with a cleaned muzzle.

"I thought this would be a little messier, but you are doing so good", Whumper sat down again.

"Muzzle yourself", Whumper held up the muzzle.

Without thought, Whumpee leaned into the muzzle. They were disappointed when their was no more cream.

The muzzle suddenly tightened and was locked into place.

Whumpee quickly backed away from Whumper and started to frantically shake their head and paw at the muzzle. They rolled around the floor wildly.

Whumper watched them get their angst out, completely unbothered by Whumpee.

After a few minutes Whumpee made a tired huff and gasped for air.

"You done?", Whumper sighed, "if you come here I'll spray some whipped cream into your mouth."

Whumpee pawed at the muzzle again, before finally crawling to Whumper.

"Alright open your mouth" Whumper held up the can and stuck it into a slot and sprayed the cream into Whumpee's waiting mouth.

After a few minutes Whumper removed the muzzle and let Whumpee rub their face.

"Let's try again", Whumper held up the muzzle, "muzzle yourself."

Whumpee pawed at the clicker and whined.

"No, no clicks until you perform satisfactorily", Whumper shook their head, "muzzle yourself."

Whumpee leaned into the muzzle and shuddered as they felt it tighten and lock.

It took them everything not to try and shake it off again.

Whumper grinned as they sprayed more whipped cream into the muzzle.

Whumpee happily lapped it up again.

*Click... click*

Whumpee coveted that sound.

"Very good job Whumpee", Whumper happily removed the muzzle, "you did so good. I think you will have this down after a few more training sessions."

Whumpee happily rolled on the floor.

"Such a good Whumpee... are you my good Whumpee?", Whumper cooed.

Whumpee happily trotted to Whumper.

"Come here, such a good pet", Whumper praised as they hugged Whumpee tightly, "though you are absolutely sticky from the whipped cream."

"Let's give you one more spray before we get you cleaned up", Whumper held up the can and sprayed into Whumpee's mouth.

After giving Whumpee a bath, Whumper finally settled back on the couch.

Whumpee rested on the floor right under them.

"Let's see if there is anything good on TV now", Whumper reached for the remote, "if not, we might have to find another trick to learn.

Whumpee quietly pleaded that Whumper found something interesting to watch.

"Oh good... you're in luck Whumpee. The new season is out", Whumper chuckled, "I guess you get a break for the rest of today."

Whumpee happily rested their head on a pillow Whumper had given them earlier in the day.

'Thank goodness', Whumpee sighed in relief.

Taglist. As always please let me know if you want to be added or taken off of the list. It's not a problem at all.

[ohbo-ohno]

You ever think about Soaps mohawk getting too untidy (because it can't get too long, the longer it is the better Simon can grab it and throw Johnny around with) and Simon taking him to the hair dresser? Only it's not a hair dresser but a dog beauty lounge? And the owners are not specialized on humans and they weren't expecting a human. But no one says no to Ghost so they proceed and Johnny gets a complete wash and everything. He looks really pretty after but he was so humiliated by it that he goes into the crate voluntarily to curl up and cry once they are back on base. Doesn't help that people keep commenting on how much better it looks and are asking about the address for the hair dresser.

Also, just speaking for myself here, I adore seeing people become an insane rambling mess about the things they are insane about. Doesn't even need a red string or context. So if you ever put your thoughts on Clicker training Soap online, there would be at least one avid reader just begging for those crumbs.

you just GET ME oh my god. im always torn between two soap's - soap who is so freaky and kinky that he would let ghost do literally anything to him and enjoy it, and soap is only does what ghost tells him because he's got a massive crush but he's absolutely humiliated and upset during all of it. the first feels more accurate to his character, the second is more fun to write lmao

wrote a quick drabble for this but i changed it so the groomers knew there was a person coming instead of a dog <3 it's extra humiliation if they treat johnny the same way ghost does

cw: noncon puppy play, referenced public humiliation (btw if you want more stuff in this little universe - one, two, three)

“You still poutin’?”

Johnny squeezes his eyes shut, just barely resists the urge to snap his teeth and growl. He knows that would only feed into Ghost’s goddamn delusion that he’s a fucking dog.

Jesus. His scalp still stings from the rough treatment of the barber- the groomer. The bastard had locked a muzzle over his face while Ghost held him down, and as much as he’d tried he hadn’t been able to speak through the damn thing. Speak or bite. 

He would’ve fought but… well, Ghost gave him that look before he left. That “if you don’t obey me, there’ll be hell to pay” look. And Ghost has only gotten meaner in the months they’ve been together now - the walks, the fucking house training… Soap doesn’t even want to think of what he might try next.

So Ghost had given him a look, grabbed him by the chin and said “Be good, pup. You’ll get a treat if you can behave, alright? Don’t embarrass me.” and Johnny hadn’t been brave enough to ignore him.

Fuck. Even now, it doesn’t quite feel real. His breath hitches as he remembers the strict gloves Ghost had given him to wear, how they don’t let him do anything with his fingers because they’re held so tight. He still wears them now, and the forced paw shape of his hand keeps his head fuzzy.

He wants to whine. He almost wants to cry. Mostly he wants to bite Ghost until the bastard bleeds.

“C’mon,” Ghost grunts, taking one hand from the wheel and patting Johnny roughly on the head. He combs his fingers through the freshly cut mohawk, almost fixing it so it’s neater. “You look real good, pup. Needed to get your bitch strap straightened up for a while now.”

“Don’t-” Johnny takes a deep breath, opens his eyes and blinks down at his hands - his hands, not his paws - where they rest in his lap. “Don’t call it that.”

He thinks for a minute that Simon’s going to say something worse, lock his hand in Johnny’s hair and tug until he whines, shove him down to his cock, do something. But his hand stays soft, stroking down and tightly gripping the back of his neck. Not suffocating, not mean, almost… secure. Comforting. A weight that says relax, I’m here. 

“Alright, puppy. Been a tough day for you, huh? We can pretend you’re a person, think of it as a treat for bein’ good at the groomers.”

Johnny whines, curling into himself at his own sound. His hands are sweaty in the gloves, and he wants to dig his nails into his thighs, hope that the little pinpricks of pain wake him up enough to tear Ghost a new asshole. 

But he can’t do that. His fingers are stuck folded in half, totally useless. So he takes a deep breath, and tries not to fully float away.

Eventually the car slows to a stop, and Ghost tugs the key out of the ignition. They sit in silence for a moment, and Soap can feel Ghost staring at the side of his head, but he refuses to look. He doesn’t want to look at Ghost right now, doesn’t want to see his expression.

“Alright,” Simon says quietly, giving Johnny’s nape a tight squeeze before letting you go. “I think you need a nap, pup. Let’s get you inside.”

Ghost gets out, Soap doesn’t. He stays in his seat, staring at his hands, until the door opens next to him and Simon reaches over his body to unbuckle his seatbelt.

“C’mon now, out.”

Johnny doesn’t move. He feels Ghost’s massive hand wrap around his elbow, tug him toward the door, but he leans his weight the other direction.

He doesn’t want to get out of the car. He knows, logically, that no one on base will be able to tell what happened, where Simon took him. But he’ll know, and that’s enough shame to make him never want to leave the car.

Ghost sighs, annoyed, from beside him. “You rather I get your leash?”

Johnny flinches, and he lets himself be tugged by the elbow at the next pull on his arm. His eyes never lift past Ghost’s chest as he keeps his head ducked, heat coloring his cheeks when the door closes behind him.

“Johnny,” Ghost says quietly, hand nudging his head up. “Head up, pup. You look real pretty, don’t you want to show off?”

Johnny flinches, but he lifts his head like Ghost urges. He’s scared of what he’ll see in Simon’s eyes - that gleam he gets when Johnny’s particularly humiliated is always hard to swallow - but all he sees is… is pride.

God, it’s getting hard to breathe. Every breath feels punched out of him, every breath in like glass in his lungs. 

“There you are.” Ghost chucks him under the chin, jerking his head up a little further. “Pretty thing. Certainly got my money’s worth.”

Johnny’s only comfort is that his eyes are dry - well, that and the warmth of Ghost’s hand. No matter how angry he is at the bastard, he can’t help but always want more of his touch.

“Inside now. Come.”

The sharp tone, the one word command, goes right over Johnny’s head. He follows Ghost - on his right, one step behind, like he’d been taught (trained) - and keeps his eyes forward, not looking at anyone else on base.

The halls are busy, like they always are during the day, but Soap doesn’t let himself be distracted. He keeps his eyes forward, and only focuses on Ghost.

He tells himself no one else knows, that no one else could possibly know.

“Hey, Soap!” Gaz calls out, leaning out of a meeting room and waving at him. “Looking sharp, mate!”

Johnny’s heart feels like it’s about the beat out of his chest. He wants to scream. He wants to puke.

He looks up at Ghost where the other man has turned around, raising an eyebrow at where he’s stopped in the middle of the hallway.

Johnny opens his mouth to speak, but only manages a quiet whine. Thankfully it’s too loud for anyone else in the hallway to hear (hopefully), but his cheeks still flush red at the animal sound.

Ghost only smirks and turns around to keep walking.

“Heel, Johnny. Don’t wander, you can sniff all you want later.”

Johnny takes a deep breath, and he follows Ghost.

It only takes a few more minutes for them to make it to Ghost’s room, and Johnny feels near collapse.

He’s… frustrated with himself. He’s got no idea why he’s so affected by what happened, why it feels so impossible to get past. Ghost has done worse to him, made him do worse. 

But something about the way the groomer had looked at him… a complete stranger, looking at him and treating him the same way Ghost does. He knows that if Ghost had left, he would’ve sunk into a panic attack. He knows it’s Simon’s own twisted version of mercy, not leaving him alone.

The relief he feels when the door closes behind him nearly sends him to his knees. Ghost’s heavy hand on his shoulder does.

He doesn’t even have it in him to be upset at Ghost’s presumption. He feels better on his knees these days, anyway.

“To your crate, puppy, go on.”

He listens, crawling to the quilt-covered crate in the corner of the room. Neither of them speak as Ghost opens the door, the only sound a soft hum when Johnny crawls in.

“Gimme your paw, pup. Don’t want you sleeping in those gloves.”

Johnny whines, but listens, and gives Ghost his paw to take the gloves off. He instantly feels better, and makes a soft sound that he hopes is thankful as he stretches his fingers out, laying them flat against the blankets.

“There ya go,” Ghost hums, closing the door and laying the quilt over all but the front of the crate. “I’ll wake you up in a few hours, alright pup? Don’t want you to miss your walk.”

Johnny shudders as Ghost walks away, and closes his eyes tight. He tries to wipe all memories of the day away, focusing instead on the better times with Ghost.

Eventually he drifts off to thoughts of laying together while watching a football game, shared meals in loud pubs, quiet nights in after hard missions. He thinks of Ghost, strong and solid and unfaltering, and he sinks into sleep.

regarding puppy luke in the Actualbird Cinematic Universe™️ …

MC/Rosa - Discipline

Marius - trying out puppy play/rewarding

Vyn - clicker training

If you ever write puppy Luke and Artem i think a neat idea would be fetch!! Like Luke’s gotta fetch all the props/stuff for their play session (from… a toy box…) and artem gets to sit back and watch bc wow, what a view right? that’s just my incoherent ramblings 🌚

But a related question for you, how do you think luke even realised he has this kink?

irt this idea i had about vyn clicker training luke for puppy play sexytimes

"the Actualbird Cinematic Universe™️" JVSKJFHSDFHJVJ!!!! anyhoo, i love your arteluke idea SO MUCH, i might incorporate that into whatever my luketem fic for this series will be because now i will take this time to shamelessly promo my luke puppy play fic series, with the fics that currently exist and the ones im planning on writing in the future

series on ao3: "do you need a dog, he can bark (luke puppy play extravaganza)"

mariluke (trying out puppy play and rewarding, my Very First luke puppy play fic): "sit, stay, (obey)"

lukerosa (discipline, she puts him in a muzzle): "learn to behave"

vynluke (The Clicker Training Idea): no fic yet! but god i wanna write it

mariluke again because i love them (M rated nonsexual BDSM fic where marius and luke just shop around for puppy play gear because marius wants to get luke the Best toys and puppy ears and tail plug, the BEST that money can buy, and then when luke tries it on he goes so dazed in subspace that he just falls asleep with marius petting him and it's great): no fic yet! but god i wanna write it

arteluke (I LOVE UR IDEA I MIGHT ADD IT IN SOMEHOW WITH MY PRIOR IDEA where training again but artem makes luke kneel at his feet sinking down on a dildo while artem works and when artem works he ACTUALLY WORKS and luke gets so impatient and pouty and wanting the real thing that artem eventually relents): no fic yet etc etc

ALL TOGETHER NOW? (i dont have an idea for this yet but i do want luke the goodest puppy serving the entire team all at once...)

NOW FOR UR QUESTION!!! (sorry it took me a while to get here JHVSJKDFHSD)

i actually think luke has enough self awareness to at least know that hes got an...obedience kink, praise kink, serving people kink, and all that. like he knows hes into that, thanks to porn and his Imagination and then thanks to experiences once he gets with the nxx polycule. but he only puts all those kinks together with the label "PUPPY PLAY" probably when marius jokingly starts calling him puppy as a nickname

and luke

likes it

wAYYYY TOO MUCH

in a VERY MUCH NOT INNOCENT WAY

basically

marius, teasing: youre such a puppy sometimes!

luke, genuine: am......i a good puppy? 🥺

marius: uh. yes? hey is there something you wanna tell me or

luke: yeah, can i suck you off right now, im really horny all of a sudden for some reason

marius: I THINK I KNOW THE REASON BUT IT CAN WAIT AFTER THE BLOWJOB

and then luke researches about puppy play kink stuff and suitably informs the polycule and they all start experimenting with it because theyre all very much into it too, bless

TESSDE AU (+Taliesin uwu)

Allora, very visibly uncomfortable but still going through with teaching Meeko proper commands with a homemade clicker Lucien whipped up for her: *clicks and passes him a treat* Good boy!

Meeko: *happy as hell, gobbles the treat and tail waving like mad*

Kaidan, sitting nearby in case she needs him, watching her softly: You all right lass? Need a break?

Allora: *sighs, cracking her neck* We've probably gone on long enough for now. Don't want to over feed him. *reaches out her hand* Paw?

Meeko: *happily slaps his paw into her hand, tail still going nuts as she shakes it*

Allora: Shake. Gooood Meeko. Okay. All done! *makes a point to put down the paw while saying this, clapping her hands*

Meeko: Boof!

Allora: *winces and struggles to smile a bit before turning and sitting next to Kaidan tiredly*

Taliesin: *sitting across the camp as far as he can possibly be without freezing to death, scowling at the dog and Allora* Why in Oblivion do you insist on doing all of that? You clearly don't like it.

Kaidan: There are a lot of things we clearly don't like, yet they unfortunately still exist. *stares pointedly at Taliesin's Thalmor robes*

Taliesin: *scoffs* The Thalmor were far more fashionable than a flea covered mutt!

Allora: Keep insulting my dog. I dare you.

Taliesin: *splutters* You- you're keeping it?!

Allora: Him. I'm keeping him. And unless you'd like to find out what it's like to live in a dog pound for the rest of your elven years, I suggest you fucking zip it.

Taliesin: *huffs, crossing his arms and pouts* Betrayed by my closest companion... replaced with a dog...

Kaidan, to Allora: Think a muzzle would fit on him?

Allora, dryly: He'd make more horny jokes than if we just let him complain. It's fine. He doesn't know I'm training Meeko to s-i-t on him later.

Kaidan, absolutely head over heels now: Evil. Dastardly. I love it. Don't let me sleep through that.

Allora, beaming up at him: Like I ever would!

[vergess]

i am obeying your header and interacting with you like you want bc i have! dog questions! 1. best clicker 2. basket muzzle for 25-30lb dog bc he eats garbo 3. treats for dog who is now restricted to rx sensitive tummy food be he puked all over the back of my sister's car lmao poor baby

The best clicker is the one that you can click the fastest without misclicking, like a mouse. That's going to depend a lot on your grip strength.

But honestly you can even just snap your fingers (this is what people used to do until like 20 years ago). You can do anything that makes a clear, quick noise that communicates to your dog that they completed the task correctly.

The only real reason a clicker is handy is because you won't do it by mistake when you aren't training.

Now as for a muzzle for "eating garbage"... Is the dog off leash somewhere with lots of garbage? Surely you don't mean to wear around inside the home, right? If that's the case, a locking garbage can or keeping the garbage in a locking cupboard is a much better option. Muzzles are for specific, short term use. Yes, some allow eating and drinking for, say, all day travel. But they aren't meant to be worn constantly, and it won't be good for the dog if you do.

As far as basket muzzles, anything made of soft silicone should be fine. They are generally all flexible enough to allow drinking, and the basket design is of course best for breathing.

IMO the best dog treat for a sad tummy is to take 2 parts cooked rice and 1 part ground lean meat (chicken, turkey, etc) and bake meatballs. Maybe mix in an egg, shell and all, or some nori seaweed. This is a very easy to digest object for even sick dogs.

Premade, you may be better off buying a human cereal with limited ingredients, like cheerios or rice crispies. Something unsweetened and NO RAISINS. Stuff you'd give a baby, basically.

[euniexenoblade]

hiiii, im a shy dog slut n I need to get hit or else I bite :3

awww, but why would I hit a dumb nut? You need training! We'll put a muzzle on you, put you in your kennel, and clicker train you :)

Wearing a sign around my neck while getting walked around, gagged and chained

PTJ #24

This week, I was a mummification model at a bondage workshop, we went to a queer kinky event, my Owner added a rule, and we progressed on my pain training. Enjoy!

Sunday 🤕⛓️😷🪧

On Sunday, we went to a bondage workshop given by @musingsformyowner and Mr H, which would be followed by a (the first?) local queer kinky event!

The workshop was great; at a show of hands we were revealed to be pretty much the only D/s couple present in the…audience? yes whatever, audience. Things were explained about wide cuffs, thin cuffs, use of scarfs and handkerchiefs; a lot was said about BDSM and SSC, RACK, CCCC. At one point when discussing padlocks they gestured at us when not remembering what the spanish word for keyed alike padlocks was(candados hermanados).

It was fun to notice just how many examples seemed sometimes strangely specific to things we do ourselves hasha

Then came the mummification part, for which my Owner was kind enough to lend them their toy. After asking me a bit about which parts of my body to touch or not, I served as the model for the mummification portion of the workshop. The teachers demonstrated on my body how to wrap the torso with wide plastic wrap, and then they went to my head, where they used package wrap and painters tape to seal my head in a couple layers of plastic.

It was amazing.

I knew my Owner felt nervous about lending me out so I tried to keep eye contact with them, but it didn’t take long for them to be more interested in the actual explanation and (I think) forget about it a bit.

The torso wrap was a lot more interesting than I thought. It felt amazingly tight and surprisingly unforgiving as bondage. I found out the heat build-up I’d read so much about was not an exaggeration, it didn’t take more than 5 minutes for me to start to feel my body getting hot. To be fair, I was wearing a thick-ish t-shirt and it was already a very hot day.

And the head wrap? Ugh. We’ve done head wraps a lot with my Owner, going as long as spending 5 hours with bondage tape encasing my face, but it did not compare to this. The most surprising thing was that it was fast. The tutor had my mouth, ears, and eyes completely covered within seconds. Given, he is a specialist, but still, we’ll definitely be spending some money on the material he used. The hardest part was cutting it off, but with caution, communication, a slow pace, and safety scissors, we should be fine.

The only concern we have, which is the same we had before, is waste. Not bodily waste, but the incredible waste of material such an activity generates. We’re talking about a minimum of tens of square meters of plastic wrap for just a single-layer full-body mummification. It’s a lot of plastic waste. We’ll try to use the package wrap material and see if its unwrap-able without cutting it. In any case we’ll still want to do it every now and then as a little luxury.

The workshop ended in a bit of a rush, and we got the extra tip of using a pet training clicker as a safeword sign for an extremely-bound sub. Its pretty good! They’re supposedly very annoyingly loud and fit in the palm of the hand so it should be perfect.

Once it was over and the space started transforming from ‘bondage workshop’ into ‘queer kinky event’ we helped out a bit, got some food, and then got me all set up for the rest of the night. My Owner tightened my muzzle gag around my head, grabbed the chain and threaded it through my right wristcuff, then my right anklecuff, left anklecuff, left wristcuff, and then finally attached it back to the right wristcuff with a carabiner that looked like the end of a leash. Having all my limbs caught in this loop allowed me stand by keeping my hands and feet together, and to walk by crouching a bit. It greatly limited my motion if I attempted to do any regular person action while still letting me walk around with my Owner grabbing the leash and keeping me tightly at their side.

Based on the Party Protocol concept, my Owner instructed that my protocol would be:

I would be kept gagged at all times.

I would not interact with other people, even if for some reason I was ungagged. I would not even attempt to communicate with other people but instead generally try to keep my gaze down.

If for some reason I was ungagged, I would only speak in toy-mode phrases.

I would only move around if led by my Owner. Otherwise, I would stay in place and not initiate any motion by myself or by following the action of any unauthorized person.

A sign would be kept around my neck, reading:

And that’s what happened. They walked me around the event with me chained, gagged, and with that sign on my chest, hanging from my neck.

Owned toy

Do not use nor release

We saw several sessions happening around the place. Partial mummifications, impact play, pet play, a little space, sensation play, shibari. The event was targeted at beginners, so there were various people acting as service tops and bottoms to introduce people to the whichever practices they would like to try. It was an amazing display.

Throughout the night, I was left in place a few times by my Owner simply letting go of the leash and leaving me there. Sometimes telling someone to watch over, sometimes just leaving me there, alone, waiting.

We also met up with several friends. Some of them ignored me, as my Owner wanted, others asked for permission to interact with me and were allowed to give me pats on the head and talk to me but knowing that I wasn’t allowed to respond. Others, when being made to watch over me for a bit, mocked me by talking excessively to me as a tease for me not being able to say anything back.

It was really fun.

cw talk about misgendering: one paragraph, skippable {

Sadly, there was also a lot of misgendering happening. This happens to me a lot, even on queer spaces, since ‘gender-neutral pronouns’ aren’t a previously existing part of our language but are instead something that has only recently, within the last 6 years or so, emerged from the queer and feminist communities towards the public. This was a queer place, so everyone knew about spanish language ‘neutral’ pronouns, but: first, not everyone’s used to using them; second, some people might not know that they’re the ones I use. Sadly the second case wasn’t really happening, everyone that misgendered me knew my pronouns and my Owner even added them to the big sign on my chest, so it was mostly the first one: people were simply making mistakes. And it’s ok, I understand; it’s just exhausting, and it can get me feeling pretty bad after a while if repeated. When that last repetition came, the one that finally tipped over the misgendering glass, I asked my Owner permission to sit down.

They took off my gag and then gave me some aftercare, giving me some tasty drinks and allowing me to move a bit. Before leaving, several people reacted while seeing me pass by with “oh, you’re free!” which I think is beautiful.

Before the aftercare, when my gag was still on, a friend had also looked at me and said hi enthusiastically. “What does that say?” I got closer so they could see. “Owned toy…do not use..nor release. Oh good, very good, I think that’s very good. You look really pretty.”

It was so nice.

Finally we went back home. All in all I had a really fun time, I really liked being publicly my Owner’s property, and the event in general was amazing. We even met up with friends that had never seen us like this, which was really nice.

💢 Pain Training

While we’re waiting to have our beautiful wooden paddle my Owner ordered, we’re upping the pain training both in intensity and in duration. My Owner is now sometimes doing 30 spanks, 40, or 60, also depending on if we had to skip it the day before.

One day, I don’t remember which one, they linked my wrists to the front of my collar, then had me press my face against the mattress and spanked me 60 times in a row. We’ve built the trust and confidence to be able to do that. It was amazing. I’m enjoying the spanking sessions a lot. I think I’ve mentioned it before but I’m getting those thoughts of harder, I can take harder. I love it. Makes me feel like I’m a really good toy. 😊

My Owner is now also pulling down my underwear (the only clothes I wear) before spankings. It gets a little surprised aa from me every time, the sudden vulnerability and deeper intimacy makes it feel a lot more intense. Not as in more painful but as in that it makes me feel a lot more submissive. I love it.

The same thing happens when they do the spankings with their hand instead of their paddle. It’s suddenly a lot more intimate and sort of...focused? It feels more personal, like their hand feels a specific way, like their hand knows me more. I don’t know if it makes sense.

🤝 Handholding Rule

My Owner has invented a rule for me when I’m outside with them: Handholding

The idea is that I should only be able to walk if they’re leading me by holding my hand or grabbing my arm, waist, simply by physically guiding me. Otherwise, I can only stand in place and am forbidden from moving from the spot where they left me.

After trying it out a couple times, they added specifications on when I’m allowed to walk without them holding me. This should preferably happen with me holding on to their shirt, but even that may sometimes be allowed not to happen.

The allowed circumstances are, basically, when the environment prevents us to easily navigate like that. This means getting in and out of busses, getting on and off escalators, and generally moving through crowded spaces.

At first I got a bit anxious about being unintentionally left behind. Strangely it didn’t activate the abandonment and degrading part of my brain. I think partially it has to do with it making me feel little, so if I feel little and I’m accidentally let go of, I might start feeling bad. Luckily this didn’t last long, since the exceptions to the rule that my Owner then settled on mean that now my Owner pretty exclusively only lets go of me either when we’re mid-walk and I’m to follow closely and hold their hand again as soon as possible, or when we’re standing somewhere and then they leave without the intent of having me follow them. This has made the anxiety disappear completely. Why? I don’t fully understand it, but now whenever they purposefully leave me standing somewhere while they leave I feel really nice and helpless. Just a toy. I love it.

🌃 Final thoughts

This week was very very busy, so there’s not much to tell. Sometimes when this happens I feel a bit sad, and I think so does my Owner, but we shouldn’t! This is a log of all the particular things that happen, but our everyday lives are so incredible. I’m almost naked 24/7, as well as chained, I only take cold showers, only eat with my face, am deprived of food, left scraps, am in chastity, have my comings and goings controlled, train my throat, butcheeks, and face for usage, and am not allowed on human furniture! That’s our normal!! That’s when there’s nothing to write here!!

Sorry for the shouting, I’m shouting at myself just out of disbelief of how amazingly lucky I am to have found my Owner, to have this dynamic with them and be able to communicate so clearly.

A year ago I would have never believed this would be my life now, I thought my imaginings of being a 24/7 toy were far-off dreams, not something that would start happening a few months later.

I’m incredibly grateful for my luck. And I’m very credibly proud of our work, this isn’t an easy thing to maintain both logistically and emotionally. But it’s so, so worth it for the sheer joy it brings us both.

I’ll see you next week, and even if there’s nothing to say, it will be an amazing week for our kink selves.

Why Dog Bite Training Is Important For Dogs?

Every year, numerous cases of dog bites are reported worldwide, highlighting the crucial need for dog bite training. This training involves instructing dogs not only to resist biting but also to adopt alternative behaviours when they are overstimulated or excited. Such training helps prevent harm to people and animals and ensures that dogs remain calm even in stressful situations that can provoke aggression.

What is Dog Bite Training?

Learning how to prevent dog bites is crucial for all dog owners. Dog bite training is a fundamental skill that teaches your furry friend to understand when it's appropriate to use their teeth and when it isn't. This training not only ensures the safety of both you and your dog, but also helps them become more confident and well-behaved.

During dog bite training, dogs are taught how to control the pressure they exert with their jaws and recognize cues that indicate when biting is unacceptable. The process begins by introducing your dog to safe objects or people in a supervised environment. As your pup becomes more comfortable, they may be encouraged to gently place their mouth around the object or person, but never with enough force to cause pain or discomfort. Positive reinforcement is used immediately after each successful interaction to encourage good behavior.

To ensure successful dog bite training, it's important to start with socialization and positive reinforcement techniques such as clicker training and reward-based systems. These methods are designed to help dogs develop the confidence and trust necessary for learning new behaviors.

In addition to socialization and positive reinforcement, dog bite training must also incorporate correction methods when mistakes are made. This helps the dog learn which behavior is acceptable in various situations. Finally, proper management techniques, such as crating or muzzling, may be necessary as preventive measures when needed. By using a combination of these methods, dog owners can help their furry friends learn appropriate behavior while keeping themselves and others safe.

Why Dog Bite Training is Important

Dog bite training is a crucial aspect of ensuring the safety of both you and your family, but it's also an opportunity to strengthen the bond between you and your furry friend. Puppies naturally bite while playing and exploring their world, but as they grow older, this behavior can become a danger if not properly trained out of them.

Dog bite training involves developing impulse control, understanding body language, positive reinforcement of good behavior, and redirecting any negative behavior in a gentle way. The ultimate aim is to recognize your dog's natural tendencies while teaching them when biting is "acceptable" or "not acceptable". Proper implementation of dog bite training can help dogs comprehend that biting is never acceptable and can teach them appropriate behaviors.

Types of Dog Bite Training

When it comes to dog bite training, it's essential to differentiate between two primary types of training:

1. Bite inhibition: This type of training emphasizes teaching dogs to control the strength of their bite. It shows your furry friend that biting too hard can cause pain and discomfort. By using positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior and mild punishment to discourage negative behavior, bite inhibition can teach dogs self-control and may be helpful in preventing aggressive behavior or serious injury.

2. Protection Training: This type of training leverages dogs' natural instinct to protect the people they love. It helps your pup learn how to differentiate between a real threat and a perceived threat, recognize friend from foe, react appropriately if necessary for their safety, and avoid aggression when unnecessary.

Protection training utilizes both physical elements such as tools like muzzles and psychological elements like proper socialization to achieve effective results while ensuring safety for both you and your furry friend over time.

There are several pieces of equipment and gear commonly used in dog bite training, including:

Dog bite training is a specialized type of dog training that requires specific equipment and gear to ensure the safety of both the dog and trainer. Below are some examples of the dog training equipment which is commonly used in dog bite training:

Bite Sleeve:

A bite sleeve is a necessary tool for dog trainers who want to teach dogs how to control their biting instincts without causing any harm or injury. The sleeve is a padded arm guard that simulates real-life scenarios where a dog may need to use its teeth in defense or protection.

Bite sleeves provide a safe and controlled environment for both the dog and trainer, as the trainer can guide the dog's behavior and teach them appropriate responses while ensuring that no one gets hurt.

Bite Suit:

A bite suit is another critical tool in dog bite training. It is designed to protect the trainer from bites and scratches that may result from working with aggressive dogs during a training session. These suits are typically made of durable materials such as Kevlar or thick leather to withstand the force of a dog's jaws and claws.

Bite suits are worn by experienced trainers who have been trained to handle aggressive dogs. The suit provides maximum protection against bites and scratches, allowing trainers to work with dogs confidently and safely. Moreover, the suit helps to control aggression during training sessions, enabling dogs to develop their biting and gripping skills.

It's worth noting that using a bite suit requires proper training and experience. Trainers must learn how to use the suit appropriately to avoid injuring themselves or the dog they are working with.

Bite Builder or Dog Bite Wedge:

A cylindrical-shaped tool made from materials like jute or French linen that teaches dogs how to properly bite and hold onto a target. It features handles on either end for the trainer to hold.

Dog Bite Tug Toy:

A durable and long-lasting dog bite tug toy designed to encourage healthy play and teach dogs how to properly use their teeth while playing with humans or other dogs. It can help improve focus, attention span, and reduce destructive behavior in dogs.

Dog Attack Agitation Stick:

The Raddog padded stick is a professional-level tool designed for bite work and protection sports, specifically meeting the requirements of the Protection phase as defined by IPO rules. It features an inner portion made of elastic and plastic rods, which are then covered with soft foam and high-quality leather. The stick also includes a handle at the end for easy attachment to the trainer's wrist during use. The stick also has a thick rope attached to it, which allows trainers to swing it around their body with ease. Different sizes are available for different breeds and aggression levels.

Training Techniques for Dog Bite Training

Having owned dogs for a considerable period, I have come to appreciate the significance of appropriate training to prevent dog bites. It is essential to teach your furry companion to understand and respect their limits to avoid future injuries.

Consistency is key when instructing your dog in bite inhibition.

Introduce new people gradually and from a distance that your dog feels comfortable with. To ensure proper dog bite training, it's crucial to be consistent in your approach. Start with low-intensity games such as fetch or tug of war, without physical contact between the dog and person. Encourage gentle behavior by rewarding with treats or verbal praise when appropriate and redirecting attention when the pup shows signs of agitation or frustration.

Avoid allowing play that involves body contact while training bite inhibition, instead focusing on proper socialization skills so the pup can appropriately interact with people during play sessions. Gradually increase the levels of intensity over time as long as your pup doesn't display any hostile behavior. Avoid allowing mouthing, which could lead to biting in an intense situation.

Teach your pup alternative behaviors, such as "leave it" or "watch me," to stop any unwanted behaviors. Reinforce positive behavior with consistent training and guidance. With time and consistency, you can have a well-trained dog that knows not to bite.

Benefits of Dog Bite Training

Dog bite training is a practice that can offer many benefits to both dogs and their owners. However, it's essential to emphasize that dog bite training should always be performed by a professional to ensure safe and effective results. Here are some of the benefits of dog bite training:

First and foremost, dog bite training can help reinforce discipline and order within a pack. Dogs naturally respond well to boundaries and rules, which can be helpful in cases where an outside person fails to respect those set by the owner or the dog. With proper training, both the owner and the dog will know the course of action to take in such situations.

In addition, dog bite training can provide an excellent exercise outlet for dogs. All breeds require physical activity, but some require more than others depending on their size and age. By engaging in organized dog bite training, dogs can work up a sweat while learning and staying engaged in a safe environment.

Lastly, dog bite training can provide an opportunity for dogs to socialize with other dogs and create friendships. This can be particularly helpful for shy or aggressive dogs as they can learn appropriate behavior from experienced trainers in a controlled environment. Moreover, the level of respect necessary when dealing with powerful animals, especially larger ones, can lead to a foundation of trust between trainers that can facilitate introductions between dogs and their owners.

When training a dog to bite, it is essential to avoid common mistakes. Here are some of the most common blunders to avoid when training your dog to bite:

1. Not Starting with Basic Commands: One of the most common mistakes is attempting more complex actions before your pup understands basic commands like "sit" and "stay." Before you start bite training, make sure your dog knows and obeys these basic commands.

2. Failing to Establish Rules and Boundaries: In order to teach your dog when it's okay to bite, you must establish yourself as the pack leader and maintain consistent rules and boundaries. Without these clear expectations, there will be confusion over what is expected of your dog during and after bite training.

3. Over-rewarding with Treats: While it's important to reward your pup's good behavior during bite training, excessive treats can be counterproductive. Instead, keep rewards light yet meaningful, like verbal praise or light petting, to prevent your dog from becoming too reliant on treats or overweight.

4. Introducing Too Many Distractions: Dogs get easily distracted, so it's important to limit distractions during bite training, especially in the early stages. Avoid large groups of people or noisy environments and stick with smaller, quieter groups to help your pup remain focused on learning.

If you're struggling with dog bite training, don't worry – with the right approach, you can help your pup learn the proper way to interact with others. Here are some troubleshooting tips to keep in mind:

1. Be patient and consistent with your commands. Teaching your dog to bite on command can take time and repetition, so it's important to stick with it. Keep reinforcing the same command over and over until your dog gets the hang of it.

2. Redirect your dog's behavior instead of scolding them. If your dog engages in unwanted biting behavior, try redirecting them with a toy or chew treat instead of punishing them. This will reward good behavior and gradually extinguish bad behavior over time.

3. Be flexible and willing to change your approach if necessary. Not all dogs learn in the same way, so if one training method isn't working, don't be afraid to try something different.

4. Set clear boundaries and guidelines from the start. Establishing clear rules about biting and other undesirable behaviors early on can help prevent these problems from occurring in the first place.

With patience, persistence, and consistency, you can help your dog learn the right way to behave around people and other animals. Dog bite training is an important responsibility for all pet owners, but the rewards of a happy, well-behaved pup are well worth the effort.

The promised update on muzzle training; Scully is doing amazing! Even better than I could have hoped!

She's always adored training because she's very clever and so intensely food-motivated, but somehow I always seem to forget just how happy it makes her.

We've done five or six little two-minute sessions now (we're taking it very slowly, because I'd rather be safe than sorry), and she gets so excited when she sees the muzzle now! I've also been able to mostly fade the lure now, she's mostly putting her face in on her own at this point, so now we get to work on adding a marker word and adding duration! 🙏

[patrickztump]

Ok guys, I’M SO SORRY, this is my final muzzle post (for a good while). I promise!!

But I made this video because my friend actually wanted to know how and when to use a clicker, and someone on here asked how I muzzle trained Canon - so I figured I’d knock both out at once. I shared with my friend a video of me clicker training Patches, but it was poor quality (oops). And I shared a link to a Leerburg video I watched three years ago to train Canon, and while it’s similar, it’s not *exactly* the same. (at least I don’t think it is, I haven’t watched the whole thing in years and the first minute I saw the other day is something I completely blew over when training lol)

Any who! Here’s the video! Really long YouTube caption under cut.

I had a few people ask how I muzzle trained Canon, and a friend came to me wanting advice on how/when to use a clicker, so I made this video.

Canon is fully muzzle trained, so this isn't anything new to him. But this is a new muzzle, and I go through refreshers/reconditioning when I get new ones - as muzzles can vary brand to brand. (I use the term "snout" a bit, it's not one I prefer, but one can only say "muzzle" but so many times before annoying themselves and others.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. REWARDING NATURAL BEHAVIOR I cup the muzzle in my palm, place treats, and offer it to the dog. When the dog places their snout in the muzzle, I mark and the dog is rewarded by the treat in the muzzle. I typically use treats that have a strong scent, so encourage the dog to get in and dig for it.

2. DURATION I start with it super short; offer with food, dog sticks mouth in, *click*, pull away. Once the dog has done that several times, I start tacking a few seconds on to each rep.

3. ADDING THE COMMAND It doesn't take too long before the dog has a strong grasp of what this game is (even nervous Rooney figured it rather quickly), and once they begin typing to get into the muzzle before I have it at face level, I know it's time to add "muzzle" to the exercise. Still continuing to mark and have rewards in my hand/the muzzle.

4. COMMAND WITH NO TREAT You'll eventually have to work food out. I go back and add steps two and three, wait a couple seconds, *click*, remove, reward. If the dog pulls out, you either need to revisit step two or decrease your length.

5. FASTEN STRAPS Once the dog stays in the muzzle for several several seconds, upwards to a minute or two, start wrapping the straps around the head - fastening if the dog doesn't back out. I reward eye contact when muzzled because (with Canon) that shows he's unfazed by the muzzle and is eager to work, awaiting the next command. It also is beneficial to mark and reward the dog for simply being calm in the muzzle.

6. MARK PROPER WITHDRAWS All dogs are different, some will nicely exit the muzzle, others will back out quickly. Canon will do the latter if he thinks he'll miss something. So I mark and reward calm, clean muzzle withdraws.

7. PUSHING INTO THE MUZZLE This helped us literally get the wheels rolling; moving into and with the muzzle. I mark staying in it and following it. The treats are wedged between my hand and the muzzle wire, so he has to work and follow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

One I forgot to mention/show in the video:

8. MAKE THE MUZZLE FUN / RELAXING Depending on the muzzle you are using. For basket (shown in video), make it fun. Do obedience, go on walks, car rides, anything the dog enjoys so it sees the muzzle are a good thing. For mesh muzzles (ones typically used at vets and groomers) make sure the dog is calm, not overheating from exercise because they cannot pant in those, and reward calm behavior. Couch cuddling and similar activities for a *few minutes* - those are short term muzzles.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like I stated at the beginning, Canon is fully muzzle trained. He understands and knows what to do when he sees a muzzle, therefore I do not have a lightbulb clicking moment with him. But hopefully this helps show what a muzzle trained dog will look like. :)

Happy training!

[border-collie]

Alright, I'm trying out a muzzle to keep Echo from scavenging treats off of the agility field. We have been having issues with engagement at practice because he likes to sniff around looking for lost treats on the corse which is reinforced by him eating them. I talked to the trainer and suggested this as an intermediate tool to stop the self reinforcement and work on building up engagement again. I'm starting with conditioning it and want to bring it to the point of cooperative wear which is one of the reasons I got clickers again. Fingers crossed this helps us get over this training wall!

[professional-benaddict]

Here are some prompt ideas. 1) Sub Peter gets put in his place by Dom Tony and gets a spanking for being naughty. 2) Sub Peter has to use his safeword during a scene and Dom Tony gives him aftercare and is very sweet with him. 3) Something with pet play, like literally anything with pet play and Starker+Strange, with Stephen and Tony and their puppy/kitty/bunny/etc. Peter.

I went with 3 👀👀

Daddy/master mafia boss Tony, +18 keptboy puppy Peter, petplay, BDSM, degrading, muzzles, or Tony trains dogs and that includes Peter, 1k

Tony is a dog person, that much is obvious. And not only that, but he is an excellent trainer too. Give him a beast of a dog, and he will make a perfect family dog out of it. It has sort of become a hobby, to train dogs, and it keeps him sane and happy in the crazy and dangerous life that he otherwise lives while running a mafia business. 

But, he does not breed dogs, and instead picks up dogs from the different shelters in town. He always asks for the dogs that no one else wants, which includes old dogs and the dangerous ones that no one wants. Tony gets the dangerous ones. He likes a challenge, and till this day, he has not found a dog that he cannot tame. The man has a hundred or so people working for him, and half a dozen of them tend to the 20 dogs that he has tamed and now keeps on his properties. All the dogs have large outside fenced off areas to use, but also a warm bed inside to escape to on rainy nights, as well as plenty of food and toys. 

Currently, Tony has two Doberman dogs that he is training in his private mansion. He picked them up from the same shelter, and according to the workers there, the two male dogs are from the same litter. They sure do look alike, so Tony goes along and says they are brothers. He names the larger one Sinister, and the smaller one Dexter. Renaming the dogs is something he does with each one he picks up. It makes them his in a different way that just being the one holding the end of the leash. 

Besides Sinister and Dexter, Tony is training one other puppy, and that is Peter. They are currently in the middle of a training session. After all, dogs learn faster when accompanied by others, since then they can learn from one another as well. So, all dressed in his puppy gear, Peter is currently on all fours in between Sinister and Dexter. All three are muzzled, and although the muzzles allow them to open their mouths, they are all quiet as they wait for their master’s next command. 

“Sit.” Tony commands. Dexter is the fastest to rise from where he was laying down, quickly followed by his brother, making Peter last. Tony clicks his dog clicker to let the dogs know they did the right thing. The boy winces as he sits back on his heels as they push the tailed plug right onto his swollen prostate.  

“Faster, Peter. Down.” Tony corrects, quickly followed by the next command. Sinister is first, Dexter next, and again Peter as last. The boy swallows thickly at the look his master gives him. He has to nail the next one, or he will sleep in the cage tonight. The idea of Sinister and Dexter sleeping next to Tony on his plush bed makes his heart rate pick up with anger and jealously. 

“Speak.” That is the new command, which includes a hand signal, and Sinister and Dexter bark at the same time, and Tony pushes the clicker again. When he closes his fist, the dogs stop, and Tony clicks the clicker again. From his palm, he feeds them each a treat through the muzzle. “Good, very good.”  

Peter whimpers. There is nothing else he craves more than his master’s praise. His heart physically aches as he watches Tony pet both dogs. But, all he gets is a cold look, which makes Peter feel sick to his stomach. The feeling of such failure is like a crushing weight over him. 

“Good boy, Dexter. C’mere.” Tony coos, and moves to remove the muzzle from Dexter, then gives Sinister the same treatment. Both dogs shake themselves off, and Dexter even raises a paw to rub at his snout. “Go on then.” The man allows and sends the dogs off with another few treats. 

Closing the door after the dogs have left, Tony heads to stand in front of Peter. In his current position, which is still down on his knees and with his forearms on the floor, all that Peter can see is his master’s shoes and ankles. If he didn’t have the muzzle and hood on, he would bite them. 

“And here we are… Sinister and Dexter have made such progress. I think I’ll finally let them spend the night out of their cages.” Tony drawls to agonise Peter, and it is working. “As for you, Peter. You… bad dog. You never learn. What’s Daddy gonna do with you, huh?” Peter cannot hold back his pitiful whimper and his head drops down to the floor in between his arms. “Or, you can prove to me that you deserve to stay in his house, let alone in my bed.” 

Peter’s ears perk up at the sound of a belt clicking, like it is coming undone. Then, a zipper and fabric shuffling. Looking up, Peter sees his master undressing. The puppy yips hopefully, and leans his hips back onto his heels, his arms still stretched out, like a dog would when inviting another dog to play. 

“Come on then, show Daddy that you are a good, little puppy.” Tony growls and grabs Peter’s collar to drag him to the bed. But, Peter isn’t scared. He saw the hint of a smile on his master’s lips. “And I might just keep you.” 

Oh, Peter is not going anywhere, that’s for sure. And he’ll show his master how he can be better than Sinister and Dexter and all the other dogs combined. The puppy scrambled onto the bed and immediately presents his wet and loose hole for his master. From the bottom of the bed Tony chuckles darkly and pushes Peter’s head into the mattress with a hand between his leather ears. The puppy whines eagerly, and shakes his hips like the tease he is. Yeah, Tony is definitely a dog person.
