For many pup space can be the mirage of the pup experience Pup space can be elusive, difficult to define and many pups I have talked with are unsure of the what to expect.
It’s almost like looking for water in the desert. You reach the top of the hill and there is a glimmer of paradise but as you approach it disappears…
To be honest my discovery was rather hit and miss but what I can tell you is that pup space is real, and it can be amazing…
When I first met my master I was shy and very unsure. I had no idea about what to do. Should I bark? Should I play with a toy? All I knew was that I wanted to connect with a more animalistic part of my pleasure.
In my first meeting with Sir I was invited to submit. Not just submission to Sir but also to my desires. At first I was embarrassed. I felt “silly” acting out what I thought pups would do. I pawed at his legs, I sniffed his butt and pits. I was “acting” like a dog.
Most of all though, I was scared. I was afraid of throwing myself in whole hog. I had fears I would be laughed at, fears “i wouldn’t get it right”. I now know those thoughts are just irrational. Hey this was the first time I had done this, there was no way I would know what to do, let alone “get it right”.
As I started to feel safe, feeling connected with Sir, I had a sense of letting go. I felt free, I was able to throw myself in entirely. I was focused, I was loving every moment, and on looking back, I think I was in my first experience of pup space.
For me pup space is not really “magical” or “transformational”. For me experiencing that pup zone was about feeling 100% focus while at the same time not giving a fuck about “human” norms.
I am able to connect to that primal self and just “be”. Whether that be playing on the floor, reexamining what could be lost under that couch or laying back enjoying a warm belly rub, it’s a chance for me to let go of my human shackles and just enjoy that feeling of discovery much like a pup would.
Whether that be 100% focused on that game catch or finding a scent.
For me the key to this pup mind space is not quite as mysterious and magical as I had first thought.
For me the key is to first “let go”. Don’t worry about looking silly. Hell you could be wearing a hood with a rubber tail up your ass, it doesn’t get more silly than that!
The second key is to get 100% engrossed in what I’m doing… I imagine what I bio pup would do then I go forth and create a human form of that activity… Sure I can’t lick my nuts but I hey wouldn’t it be amazing if I could!
So pups, “pup space” or “pup zone” they really aren’t the mirage you may have first thought. The trick is to find a place with or without people where you can “let go” knowing that you are free to enjoy with no judgement.
Secondly as part of letting go, throw yourself right in, have a great time, act out your human pup fantasies. When you feel that flow, that feeling of 100% concentration? You may well be in the pup zone…
Hugs and tugs.
