The Sixth Annual Dog and Pony Show
April 22-24, 2005

A weekend of human pets, including two open parties, a day of classes, a video premiere, and a park outing.

A gorgeous show pony, a well-trained police dog, a pile of romping kittens, a latex stallion pulling his mistress’s cart, a zebra grazing at FSF, a leather wolf – animal role play creates magic for the participants and observers.

Pony play, and other animal role-play, is deeply rewarding in many ways. It allows you to be both submissive and powerful at the same time. You become primal, noble, and beautiful. Experienced players become pre-verbal and enjoy a different reality. It’s a profound way to leave behind human cares. For handlers, trainers, and owners, it’s a delight to work with such wonderful creatures.

Both parties provide stables and lunge area for ponies and large animals, plus cages, romp, and training areas for dogs and small animals. There are also two social areas and two complete bdsm play spaces with dozens of stations.

The first program is aimed at beginning players, as well as admirers and the curious. The second and third programs are aimed at intermediate players, and those who attended the first program. The material is divided into three class sessions, approximately: 1-2:30, 2:45-4:15, and 4:30-6. Most people attend all three sessions, and they are only priced as a single package. We include presentations, optional hands-on sessions, and a vendor displaying tack.

Seven presenters will cover:
- Overview of animal play
- Advice for new animals
- Advice for new handlers
- How to get into headspace (animal’s perspective)
- How to help animals into headspace, how to be a good handler
- Finding your totem animal
- The animal within
- Specific animals: Pony, Puppy, Dog, Kitten, Fox, Zebra, Butterfly, Dolphin, etc.
- Tack, toys, accessories, outfits, and garb
- Group discussion on trainer’s perspective
- Group discussion on animal’s perspective
- Veterinarian play
- Furry culture
- Negotiating an animal scene
- Places to live in role for days at a time
- Sources for animal play fantasy and photos
- and more

Those new to pet play will have a chance to try it (if they like), under the guidance of experienced players. This includes both new handlers and new animals. Experienced players will have an opportunity to discuss their experiences, and demo their style. It’s also a good chance to find new partners.

During the middle program we will show the San Francisco premiere of the documentary “Pup”. The director, Antonia Kao, will be there in person for discussion afterwards. This is the first documentary on puppy play. It covers Master Skip and Pup Tim as they prepare to compete in the International Puppy Contest, a leather title for human canines and their handlers. DVD copies will be available for sale. pupumentary.com

Vendors will display animal, furry, and bdsm gear.

The evening parties will include various animal play, furries, and open bdsm play on two floors. Overnight pet boarding only by prior arrangement.

SFCitadel is at 245 Eighth Street (between Howard and Folsom), San Francisco
