About the Book

Once considered a marginal activity, Puppy Play has seen its popularity explode around the world, attracting individuals of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations. Defined as role-playing, puppy-play is a state of mind and sometimes a way of life that allows humans to adopt the physical or mental behaviors of a puppy, called Pup. It also offers a role to the person, called Handler, who takes care of the Pup.

Puppy-play is the modern form of dog-training that originated from the leather movements of the post-war years. A wide variety of styles now allow everyone to adapt the experience to their own image and assert their identity.

This book explains the origins of puppy-play and explores in more detail the different stages, hierarchies, psychological dynamics, and social aspects. The author, who is an adept, highlights its positive impacts, and then aspires to demystify and popularize a practice that is too often stereotyped and misunderstood in our society.
