Spotting him

Spotting your dog

He is very animalistic most of the time. He has got an amazing mouth and just loves sucking, licking anything, especially my hands. He wants to feel always that he's below my waist level - both physically and mentally.

Total Control, Ownership: Now how do you start the connection when by the slaves feels a real sense of Ownership and a tangible sense of control.

From toilet training to getting his water

Toilet Training

Dog Instinctive behaviour -
beyond basic training

Your dog now feeds from the bowl ok, stays on the floor ok, loves his collar, doggy playing with him Master, but there is more.
Soon it is the little this that you notice, your dogs poise on the floor, his natural state of being, the way when his Master is talking to another leatherman in the club the dog starts to lick boots (yours or Masters), the way the Masters might say "If he starts to sniff ya crotch just push him away".
We are moving on to what the dog does when left alone. Most trainer observe what Trainer do with real dogs, the slave observers what the dog does. Real dogs have many common and also unique qualities.

The Pack Instinct.
Dogs are pack animals, and are not used to being left on their own. They often get anxious when left alone  and develop the fear of being deserted.
Real canines can soil or damage the house or damage themselves - known as "Dog Separation Anxiety Syndrome". 
A parallel in the dogslave world that I have noticed, is when the Master is not about (wandered off - or more like the slave did) there is this frantic looking around to see where Master is. Once he is located all is well, until then there is a distraction. This is fondly referred to the "Where's Master...Where's Master" response.  The slave often get security being on his leash.

The Family Pet

This example depicts a typical positioning and place of contentment for a slave.

This all depends if you are looking for a 24/7, of that 24/7 what is he, to what degree a slave, a dog or human ? There is no issue of is he to be let out the house or is he to be kind of SM Lover ?

Using the most typical(and endureing) an SM love who is a dogslave.

Them he needs a job (after he has done his studies) unless you are so rich that you are going to deposint "earning" into an account that can be used in his old age because you are denying him a life that he would have otherwise used to develop his career.

When he is at work the constraints that you impose on him how will this affect him at work, when he goes to the Gym or the swiming pool or when he visits his Parents ?

That is when he goes to the gym, will the chain collar locked around his neckor the whip marks on his butt cause him problems with in that context - are you going to prepare him and enable him to cope (see the Humiliation page).

What about furniture ?
His place is on the floor (or standing or on all foors).
At all times the floor is his domain, unless invited, kick him off furnature. Often he will be at your boots (where in truth he is happiest), but the floor is cold and often he will be naked, so ensure that you have carpets stone or wooden floors are always a few degrees cooler than you think. As he heat drains away he gets chills and you really dont want a dog in bad health. He could cope well at 20yo but if he is 40yo more practical considerations need to be made.
If you were in his position, what would you need ?
Effectivly you do not wnat any distractions in his performance, you want his full attention - and you love your dog don't you!

What about drinking?
He needs a balanced diet with his main diet will be body fluids and he also has his bowl of water. But after a heavy SM session he might need to retreat into human space, when he can get a can of coke or coffee (still no furniture).
