Me, Gpup, photographed at my most recent training with Sir
In his most recent post “What I Look For In A Pup”my Master, Pup Boss Jyan, shared his thoughts on the importance of openness when it comes to being a master and also as a human pup.
One of the biggest barriers I had felt when it came to my outward expression of puphood was fear.
I was fearful of what my partner of more then a decade would think, I was worried about what my friends may say if they found out I longed to express myself through the eyes of a pup. While this was more focused with my human puppy training, I could also see this was a theme of my life: worrying what others felt, projecting my own anxieties onto others in ways that stopped my movement towards the love and care of my desires.
Through my own pup journey I have learned the value of trust, of understanding that I can share my inner thoughts and desires and surprisingly the world would not explode. I had the freedom to be open with my Master and most importantly, to myself. I’ve learned there is more to being a pup then a puppy mask and collar.
Through my exploration of my pup self I have learned many skills that have spilled into my human world. My mind has developed a sense of calm. Observation of my own biopups has enriched my world. I see the pure joy they have in life.
My pup life has enabled me to find peace when there are times I would be anxious. I am able to slow down, take in the scenery, to observe and enjoy.
I can trust, trust in my own abilities and those of others. I can trust that they know what needs to be done, to give space and time to allow what needs to happen, happen.
Each night as I watch my beautiful shepherd pups as they relax by my side knowing they are safe with me, I can reflect that I too have this same peace when I am present in the training with my master.
Human pup play has opened my mind, and I am eternally grateful to my Master for seeing my potential. For supporting my journey, for being open to my growth. My teacher, my guide and most importantly my friend.
For this I am eternally grateful…
Hugs and tugs

Never a truer word has been spoken Gpup!
Though my mind has not yet fully adjusted esp with stress and anxiety at work, fear and self doubt
I know with the help of Our Pack and esp our Trainer Master that I will be able to eventually just slip in to Pup Bliss and deal with a crisis more calmly and rationally, not get to worked up about what others think of me as a human or as a pup and just relax and let the course of life’s events happen
