Owner

What it is

An Owner keeps and cares for a pet: training, rewarding, fussing and looking after them.

What it can look like

Collaring a partner. Using a pet name. Training with treats and praise. Brushing, feeding or playing with them like a pet.

Often pairs with

Pet.

Not the same as

Master or Mistress. Owning a pet is usually more playful and affectionate than strict.

Doing it safely

Pets still need breaks, water and a human voice. Agree how your pet says stop when they're not using words, like a tap or a set noise.

Talking about it

"Would you want to be my pet? I'd love to look after you."
