"This workshop covers the practical logistics of how to devolve a two- legged human into a four-legged barking dog. Payoffs for the person who chooses to assume the dog character can include reclaiming positive animal traits such as physical energy and uninhibited playfulness. A powerful "dog head" state of consciousness can overwhelm ordinary thinking and even be so enjoyable you don't want to come back to two feet. This workshop will involve some nudity by presenters, but no sex play among participants.
No animals will be harmed, so don't go whining to the SPCA!"

The above is taken from the flyer that the guy from The Ring (kind of an S/M workshop school) made up. The syllabus detail is being finalised.

What they said!

The Ring presented a workshop on Canine Role-play facilitated by Animal J. Smith.

Two dozen hot men attended, some on leash with their Masters. With the able help of Master Bob and dog "Rusty", Animal demonstrated time-tested techniques for getting your man down to all fours -- and back to two legs (reluctantly) -- using four-legged bondage, hypnosis techniques, leash work and other technical aspects of bringing a man into the dog head. The workshop also covered the S/M role-play aspects of canine scenes: emulating dog behaviour, status dynamics and power exchanges, and how life on all fours can have a positive effect on the mind and spirit as well as the body.

Animal will present the Canine Role-play workshop again on Saturday, October 11, at the Living in Leather conference in Portland, Oregon. If you are interested in presenting this workshop for your organisation, contact Animal J. Smith at animalj@hotmail.com.

On Saturday 26 July I am taking some of my ponies to play with a dozen others in a farm up near Bridgnorth. We either meet here at about 8.30am, (places available in the stock trailer), or be up there by 10 am. It ends about 17.30hr. There is a meadow, track, muddy stream to ford, bridge over it, plus a couple of caravans, etc. for shelter in the event of bad weather. Packed lunch provided. The organisers are charging 30 per head.

The big Whiplash PleasureZone is taking place on Sunday 17 August near Harrow, London. There will be 600 people or so there, & I will be there with a dozen or more ponies & puppies, etc. I will be arriving in the morning, (anybody coming early may get in free), to play in the afternoon.
Admission 20 ukp or so, from Whiplash Club. Your help there as groom, marshal, pony, puppy or other livestock would be much appreciated.

The annual SM Pride march will take place in London on September 13. I hope to have a squadron of sulkies to make a show & aid the marshals of the march. Any volunteers, (particularly light ladies to drive & ponies to pull), greatly appreciated.
