niche in petplay i don't ever see get used is the concept of paralleling a sub's experiences with the theriform animals
you don't do anything with them (because, obviously, lmao) but like. she makes you sleep in the outdoor kennel with all the other dogs. you get different food, but it comes at the same time in the same stainless steel bowl and you have to stick your face in there and eat with your mouth like a real dog. you do your twenty minute solo training session before one dog and after another, and when she hoses out your space in the kennel she moves you to the crate on the front porch just like the rest of them
you don't get to use the shower in her bathroom. she takes you to the mudroom and bathes you in the dog shower like all her other hounds. you are allowed on the furniture sometimes, but you can't go in the house wet because you have Wet Dog Smell and you can only get on the couch if she's sitting on it and she wants to pet you. you're not calm enough to stay still long enough to watch a movie, so when you have movie nights she puts you in the same crate built into the side table that all the dogs use. you're not any different from them, why would you get special privileges?
