Pup Play is a form of consensual roleplay where participants explore a free and playful world as a pup or "handler" in a safe and respectful environment.

• For Pups: This might involve playful behaviors like fetching toys, seeking affection, enjoying belly rubs, and curling up for a nap. Pups can explore different personalities, from the adorable cuddle monster to the energetic explorer pup or the impish rascal.

• For Handlers: Handlers provide guidance, structure, and affection for their pups, creating a nurturing and playful space. In some relationships, a handler can be the pup's owner, daddy, or sir. There aren't any hard rules in pup play. It's all about forming and cultivating a full and consensual relationship. Oh, and treats. Your pup will love their treats!

Consent & Open Communication
Pup play is all about having fun and feeling comfortable. Communication and enthusiastic consent are essential for all participants. We can't stress this enough. So we'll mention it a lot.

Beyond the Basics
Pup play isn't just about acting like a literal puppy. It can be a way to explore themes of trust, care, and playful submission/dominance dynamics (although dominance doesn't have to be the focus). Being in your headspace is an excellent means of relieving stress and can help you connect with individuals who share your playful spirit.
