As for putting labels on someone it seems like you want to do that more than anyone .
Comparing a dog to a submissive, I won't even comment on that one.
I have seen many such as you who think you determine the depth of a submissive's, submission.
Truth is we as Doms /Dommes allow the submissive to find herself, through the trust and bond developed in the relationship.
They, the submissive decide the amount and depth of their own submission.
Yes we help and guide them along that journey. The difference is I see my role, task , job as showing her she has the freedom to explore her own submission.
The roles of pet and slave as I commented on were about the mental aspect of the submissive, and the differences between them, a pet is nothing more than another step in submissive journey if she choises it to be..
