Types of Dogs and Puppies

From BDSM Animal Training

Show Dog

A prissy and proud sort of dog. In this role proper posture and intense concentration upon commands is important. Learning to follow properly and respond to signals is key. Headspace helpers seem to be: getting in touch with your inner arrogance, pride, feeling of muscle and strength, and a performance mentality. Watch some show dog programs and look at how they move. Watch how they watch their trainers and hold themselves. Notice they don't make a lot of sound, and when they do it is very dignified.

Top Dog

This dog tops the trainer's other dogs. This dog sometimes even tops a human. Imagine a bestial sadistic top who can't speak or do human things. Sometimes other dogs are hitched to the Top dog and must follow like a sled team. It all depends on how people decide to play it. These definitions and names are not etched in stone... heck... they aren't even etched in sandstone! Headspace helpers: think leadership and middle management. Watch sled dogs race and watch how the dogs relate to one another when they aren't racing.

Puppy

This is a generic term for anyone brand new to the dog role. It can also be someone's preferred method of play. Puppies are spunky and young. Age Play for dog players... ha-ha. Think PLAY!!! That is the mind of a little sensitive pup. Try rolling around acting silly and trying to figure out how this body with four legs works...

Pet Dog

These dogs are loyal but more casual and grungy than show dogs. Maybe this type likes to jump on the couch when the trainer isn't looking... or chew on the slippers because they smell good. Think slightly more relaxed and cuddly in this mode. Think house pet...

Swine Hunde / Raunch Dog

I have only heard of these once really. Basically a really dirty dog. Almost a pig player. This dog rolls in its own filth and smells its own duty. Think grunge.

Working Dog

This would be great for the athletically inclined. This dog has a job to do. Maybe you are a guide dog, a hearing dog, or some other sort of dog that aids humans directly. Perhaps you are one that competes in things and runs types of obstacle courses or swims out to retrieve dummies. Think athletic performance and concentration on goal.

Guard Dog

I see this as the junkyard dog type... oiled... glistening... muscular... menacing. That is just my fetish though, so interpret it as you will! ha-ha. Spiked collar, fierce attitude, and RAGE in that growl. A guard dog can have some inner rage that barely allows it to follow commands... maybe there is an edge to it as it responds to signals. Maybe sometimes it does things a bit more rough than it needs to.

Wolf Dog

Wolves are wild at heart. They don't accept training easy. They have pack mentality and are alpha lupus till taken down. They can start out with a real dominant attitude and be shown through example that they are a pack member and not the pack leader.

Stray Dog

This dog hasn't got a home or an owner. It has a canine mind, no training, and may react unpredictable. They can be spotted by looking for the choke chain that hangs around the neck of the stray with no lock on it... or a lock with the key in it. Most strays are more than happy to be claimed by a caring Trainer.

I'm RULED by a DOG!

There are no rules in fantasy. I've heard of couples that do dog training in which the DOG is the dominant partner. It is rare, but it happens. Why not? It sounds like fun to me! The Dominant Dog is different than the Top Dog because it is not in a middle management situation. It is the head of the power dynamic and does not answer to anyone. I can remember very fondly the time I had a partner go into his canine mind and pounce on me growling and biting till I was fighting with all my might and screaming in fear, it can be quite a rush!

Dog Eat Dog

As I said with the Dominant Dog, there are no rules in fantasy. It can be fun to go into canine mind with your partner and be animals playing, mating, or fighting for dominance. Imagine it as a co-sadomasochistic experience in which you wrestle for control in the scene. I love the idea and have done this sort of thing many times. I have to say it is one of my favorites.

It is a JUNGLE out there!

This is another non-conventional and very fun thing to do. Go into an animal mindset that is different than the mindset of your partner and then interact! You should both be pretty comfortable with these roles beforehand, since you may not have a Top available to direct the scene. Maybe your partner will be a dog and you will be a cat. Then again, perhaps you are a dragon and he's a doggy that has just wandered into your lair. Use your imagination. Just because no one else has thought of a certain type of scene before does not mean it isn't worth doing!
