In this video I just wanted to share some thoughts on how to get started as a human pup.
When I started there was little in the way of human pup play resources. Today there are many great resources including my pack’s website: http://SiriusPup.net (Interestingly this was originally developed as a training site just for our pups!)
Also be sure to check out Puppy 101 on Facebook as well as the many pup groups on FetLife.
When it comes to gear the first things I recommend is mitts and knee pads to protect your paws. Other gear is great and when you are ready Mr S Leather has a great selection of fun pup gear here-> Pup Gear @ Mr S Leather.
Hey pups! Today I’m preparing for my trip to the USA and I wanted to share some ideas for great leather pup looks if you are heading to CLAW, your local pup mosh of even just a night at the pub…
Of course these are just my ideas and please feel free to share your own variations on the leather theme 😉 .
Given the nature of CLAW I wanted to show 3 distinct leather looks:
Each has it’s pros and cons but all are suited to different events… Pick and choose, mix and match… You get the idea 😉
Formal Leather Pup
Formal Leather Pup
I’m a huge fan of formal leather… Being a pup doesn’t mean you have to miss out.
The leather shirt I am wearing is made of super soft naked leather. It’s not quite a shiny as the standard leather however it fits against the skin really nice. It’s so soft there is absolutely no breaking in needed. You can get this in a long or short sleeve version however I tend to overheat easily so I will usually opt for a shorter sleeve shirt.
Of course leather pants are a must for a formal look and I have added a pup gauntlet to flag my passion pup as well as the many fun things that come with the colour blue 😉
For hitting the daytime events you can’t go wrong with a more casual, informal look. I love shorts and the Mr S Carpenter shorts are fucking amazing… Behind the double flap zipper is a secondary flap allowing easy access to your junk should you need to go to the bathroom or backroom.
I found these super comfy and with one treatment with leather conditioner and an afternoon worn around town these babies where broken in and fitting like a glove.
You can continue the laid back theme with a leather polo shirt, mine is again trimmed with blue… Starting to get a theme?
Unlike a standard polo shirt, the leather version isn’t going to be stretching on the body so it’s really important to make sure you get the right size.
Add your leather pup hood and you are onto a winning look.
Final looks is for when you are ready to get down on all fours, moshing and playing with your pup mates.
I am a subscriber to the “less is more” when it comes to mosh time and given most moshes aren’t nude, I opt for these leather sports shorts. These are super comfy and are very close to my Australian footy shorts so they are very popular here in Australia.
In this pic I have my custom leather dog hood as well to highlight that these hoods are very much what ever you want to dream up… Check out this pic from a recent pup night in Sydney to get the idea of exactly how many options there are!

Heaps of choices for you pup, throw in a pup t-shirt and you are set for play!
So there you go pups! 3 Different looks that might be fun for CLAW…
I’m super excited about attending and if you are there I’d love to meet you! I’m going to be attending as many of the pup events as I can as well as presenting on human pup play on the Saturday @ 1:30. Be sure to check out the full educational schedule as there are some really cool educational events happening!
Hey Pups, I was going through my tumblr tonight and noticed this pic…
Sure it’s a hot pic but when it comes to human pup play this is not a safe option for a human dog collar. Heck there are some animal advocates who would say they are not even safe for a bio pup.
If you consider the contents of the neck do you really want metal spikes poking into your windpipe?
Other important structures of the neck that could be harmed by this collar include the carotid artery, the jugular (both very large and important conduits of blood to and from the brain), you also have a large amount of important nerves that pass very close to the surface of the neck.
So yes, for a fantasy picture this may look hot however in reality they are very unsafe.
If you are looking for a human pup collar there are heaps of great choices such as the leather dawg collar and my favourite the chainmail collar.
Leather Puppy Collar
Mr S Chainmail Slave Collar
Things to look out for when choosing a collar include, is there any spikes that could harm me or another pup? Is it comfortable? Does the collar represent my own pup persona? With so many pup collars available it’s not too hard to find the right collar for you.
Your pup can show his true colours no matter whether he’s in full gear or not.
Just some ideas in case you were wondering what to suggest for that special pup in your life.
Hugs and tugs.
Hey guys! So recently I was gifted this amazing latex surf suit, it’s super tight so being able to get in and out easily is not only fantastic but it also protects the latex from tears or nicks from pulling to get in.
Not sure if you’ve heard of latex chorination but it’s an amazing treatment that makes your latex super smooth! You are able to jump in and out of your gear with no talc, no lube, literally straight in!
The chlorination also makes the latex care much easier so for me it was totally a win win situation.
Chlorination is a chemical process, quite fiddly and involves some pretty strong chemicals. It really isn’t something to be done at home… Thankfully there are some great people here in Australia who can do it for you. Laycette at Oz Fetish who is expert at the whole chlorination process.
The process of having my rubber puppy gear treated was super simple. I just had to package my gear up in a mailing bag along with a second return postage bag.
On it’s arrival Laycette let me know it was there and that she had started the treatment.
One of the pieces of gear had some damaged metalware which she asked if it was ok to replace. Given she’s also able to repair latex I was very happy to make sure everything was in good condition.
Once done my gear was mailed back and I was sent an invoice that I was able to pay online.
I was really happy not only with the service but also the finished product.
I opted for the “super shiny” option and they weren’t kidding! Very happy rubber pup here.
I can definitely vouch for the quality and service provided.
If you have some latex gear you’d like to get chlorinated or even repaired be sure to contact Laycette at OzFetish.
I’m kinda dazed at how quick the holiday season has come and I thought it might be fun to share some holiday gift idea for pups.
First cab off the rank is a video I made today on getting knee protection @ your local hardware store. These shops are great for all sorts of stuff and you can get some amazing pup gear if you use some lateral thinking…
Getting Pup Play Knee Protectors @ Your Local Hardware Store:
Key points to look for when you are buying knee protection is to be aware of where you are going to be moshing or playing…
For outdoor play a plastic layer is pretty important to protect your knees and skin from sticks, rocks and grass burn.
If you are more of a pup play indoors kinda dog then you cab get away with not having the protective layer.
Always get the ones that have heaps of padding as a lot of your weight is going to be passing via your knees and you want to ensure there are no pressure points.
I like the velcro enclosure type as they tend to stay in place very well.
Don’t discount your local hardware they have heaps of great stuff!
For paw and wrist protection you can’t go wrong with MMA fighting gloves. These offer fantastic padding and protection. You can get them in all types of shapes, colours and sizes.
So there you go, part one of our human pup play holiday gift guide…
