Want to be treated like a dog? by www.metro.co.uk
Cutie the poodle has been playing in the garden for the past two hours. Her master has been ignoring her yapping, so she yaps louder and wags her tail. Eventually he ventures out to the garden and attaches a gag with a huge fake rubber tongue hanging off it.
‘That’s better, Cutie,’ he says to the 38-year-old media professional, whose real name is Deborah. ‘This will shut you up for a bit – I’m trying to work’ and walks back into the house.
This scenario may sound barking, but pet play is a popular and common part of BDSM (bondage, discipline, submission and masochism). An individual will typically take on the role of a pony, puppy or, less often, a kitten. It allows one player to be the dominant master and have all the control while the ‘pet’ enjoys a break from reality. It’s becoming more popular, too: Deborah’s master, Sir Guy Masterleigh (his name on the BDSM scene), has just announced plans to tour with Cutie and his human-ponies to kink conventions in Canada and Europe.
Deborah, who approached Sir Masterleigh to be her master six months ago, says this type of submissive-dominant (sub-dom) role play gives her total escapism from real life: ‘It gives me the psychological “OK” to do nothing and be responsible for nothing. After hours of play, I feel relaxed and elated at the same time and the humiliation turns me to jelly.’
Sex isn’t involved in their play (although it can be) and both Cutie and Sir Masterleigh have partners who, they say, are happy with what they do. Playtime can last up to seven or eight hours at a time and involves playing with squeaky toys and being led on a leash. To really get into character, Cutie straps her legs into hardware so it is impossible to get up on two feet.
‘Unfortunately, I’m human – dammit – and walking for so long on all fours takes its toll.’ When they venture out to fetish events, they walk about 3km. ‘Imagine that – on all fours!’ says Deborah, who has had various owners over the years. ‘It starts to ache somewhat.’
So, why a dog? Why not a guinea pig or even a, er, goldfish? ‘It’s not about real pets, it’s more a lowering of status to the point of being a pet to someone else,’ says Deborah. According to Sir Masterleigh, who has been role-playing in BDSM circles for the past 30 years, it takes about ten minutes for an open-minded human to get into puppy mode, but takes a lot longer to go back.
‘If someone really can’t get into play, you never push it,’ he says. ‘I can encourage with positive reinforcement, such as using banana chips. I get a great charge from being master to a human-pet – it’s like parachuting off a cliff.’
And does Deborah think like a pet when she’s Cutie, or does she suddenly find herself thinking about an unpaid gas bill while she’s scampering around the garden? ‘No, my mind is empty. When we’ve been playing for an hour or so, it can be like a head trip, like getting drunk where everything becomes lovely and vague. Playing as a puppy is extremely erotic and being a pet to a master is such a turn-on it drives me absolutely bananas. Even just ‘assuming the position’ at the start of play is a massive turn-on.’
For considerate pet players, there is a wealth of information available on the internet and even the odd book (one ‘How to’ manual is aptly named Woof) and many fetish sites also offer some X-rated human-pet erotic fiction – one particular narrative set in a leafy London park even shocked this hardened sex editor.
But Sir Masterleigh says we shouldn’t judge – we’re all involved in sub-dom relationships without even realising it. ‘An ex-girlfriend once listed all the couples we knew and we worked out that there was always one in the driving seat,’ he says. We all settle into a sub or dom role without even knowing it.’
Deborah certainly knows what role she falls into, although she has accepted her ultimate fantasy – to be taken on a walk to the shops as Cutie – will never happen: ‘I would love to do puppy play outside the alternative lifestyle scenes but it won’t ever happen,’ she says. ‘People will always think it’s weird and I like that fact, but it might be nice to do it knowing no one would be freaked and hassle us.
‘But the day when people truly and honestly live and let live will never happen.’ And perhaps, in this case, that is a good thing.

How to be a dog:
‘I made my outfit myself,’ admits Cutie. ‘It’s a sickly cute parody of a ridiculous pink poodle.’ Cutie even made her own rubber-tongue mouth gag but if you want to fashion your own, try www.extreme restraints.com for a selection of gags. They start at around £19.95. For the fake tongue, see www.toppetshop.co.uk, from £3.99.
Other items you’ll need to venture into the world of pet play include:
Collars and leashes
Doggie dishes/shallow bowls – for humans it is important to get a shallow and wide bowl.
Mittens to restrict thumbs
Knee pads
Masks with muzzles and leather ears
Tails – Cutie sports a spring-loaded tail.
Treats – Cutie likes banana chips.
