Doggy play

Doggy play is a form of animal play within BDSM in which a participant (the submissive or “pup”) behaves like a dog, including body language, sounds, and behavior. The Dominant often takes on the role of trainer, owner, or handler. The game is not only about sexuality, but mainly about surrender, playfulness, identity, and contact.
