PupTalk: The Human Puppy Play Podcast

There's endless advice about what pup gear to buy and almost none about what to do once you own it. You've got the thing, it was expensive, you wore it for three hours and now it's damp. This is the episode about what happens next. What we cover: - Why this matters more than it sounds: gear isn't cheap, badly kept gear doesn't last, and some of it sits against your face for hours - How universal gear is - 90.9% of survey participants owned some, 81.86% a hood or mask, 78.44% collars, 63.17% h...

Every newcomer arrives having been told the same thing: agree your limits, have a safeword, say it if you need to stop.

What we cover: - What a pup name actually is, and why it's a name rather than a commitment - people change them, and nobody is auditing - How common they are: 86.71% of pups in the largest community survey had ...

You see packs everywhere - group names, group photos, people who clearly know each other - and quietly assume everyone has found their people except you. The numbers say something very different, and one of them complicates the story in a way worth hearing. What we cover: - What a pack actually is: a chosen group, completely informal, with no registry and no application - and how it differs from a Pups and Handlers group, which is an open local social club - The headline figure: in the larges...

You tried. You got on the floor, you put the gear on, you waited for something to happen - and nothing did. Then you went online and everyone else made it sound effortless. This episode is for you, and the short answer is that you are in the majority, not the exception. We talk about what headspace actually is, why trying hard is the exact thing that blocks it, and what genuinely helps. What we cover: - What headspace really is - absorption and relaxation, not a trance, and nobody loses aware...
