There are many levels of pet play. I've had a Dom who would put a leash on my collar and I'd crawl along with Him to O/our "playroom". The pet aspect wasn't the focus but was implied. It was the start of how W/we would share my submission there. It's something to be discussed as how far one wants to go. Some want their "pets" to eat their food from a bowl on the floor. I applaud your interest and hope you have learned from some comments here to do some research. Above all, talk talk talk with you boyfriend/Dom!
