  • 3:45–5:00pm LDG PROGRAMMING: CBT – A HANDS-AROUND DEMO OF CBT TECHNIQUES – With Bob Goldfarb & Pupp Balls – Main Dungeon
    We’ll dive into the world of CBT, covering both fundamentals and advanced techniques in a way that’s safe and painfully satisfying. We’ll talk toys, techniques (beating, pulling, & squeezing), and safety. Learn how to escalate intensity without crossing boundaries, and use CBT to build deep, erotic trust—or just get him to whimper like a good boy. Tops, bottoms, switches, voyeurs—come learn, laugh, and maybe wince a little. Bring your curiosity and your questions.

  • 5:15–6:30pm LDG PROGRAMMING: PAWS-ON PUP HANDLING AND TRAINING – Daddy Dawg Mutt and Rock D. Pup — Yurt
    Handling and training are components of puppy play that foster deep bonding and connection. We’ll explore goals, mindset, communication, and techniques for training and being trained, and experience how training can fit into private scenes and public life. This is a hands-on (and paws-on!) session for both dogs and handlers, so bring your pup or handler if you have one, and bring any gear you have—or come by yourself and we’ll help you pair up and offer some loaner equipment.
