I'm having a hard time understanding a hound~handler relationship without d/s, I feel like its inherent to the relationship? Can you talk about what you're doing differently?
I would agree it is!
I'm just not a dominant. But I strive to serve. As an Owner or a Handler, I don't lead with dominance. So that means I do handle certain aspects differently. And so i think its important I'm upfront about that so that later I'm not dealing with others saying I'm doing it 'wrong'. My want and need is to make sure the hound I'm training is being taken care of in a healthy and sane manner.
I give her the structure and care she needs to function and instead of feeling like I'm being in control, I feel more like I'm following.
In my relationship it's more like I'm serving my hound. Which isn't what the traditional structure is. But I'm not expecting anyone to understand. I'm not expecting anyone to like or approve. At the same time it wont be changing. Because it makes my hound happy. And that's what matters most.
This page is specifically for us. Others interacting is fun! But overall, I made this as a fun little way to document our progress.
