A submissive acts and is treated like a dog and has a loving Pet/Owner dynamic with their dominant. The submissive wears only a dog collar, crawls on all fours and expresses dog behaviours such as barking and panting. The submissive refrains from using "human words" unless asked a direct question by their dominant/owner. The dominant treats their submissive like their well-beloved dog, encouraging behaviors through praise and rewards, using minimal discipline and punishment.
