welcome to the fora...[:)] well you certainly do ask some very broad questions...ill try to do my best....one thing though, you say in your profile you are looking for a second slave, might i suggest that that might be a little premature until you get your bearings on your first one and on your self a bit first? training has some very basic elements to it. 1. figure out what you want your girl to be trained to do....make a list for yourself of these things. 2. only pick a few things at a time, the reason is because, as a salve you want to know that you owner is really in control and really wants the things he wants, otherwise you dont feel your contribution is valued...for example some Dominants wont let a slave open a door for herself the idea is that he is the one who stewards her through the doorways of her life.... well that is a very pretty idea, but if it is not a core value for you then you will forget, and you most likley will not notice, but i guarantee she will notice it and feel like you dropped the ball, and worse she may not say anything , not wanting to upset you and then the fabric starts to tear just a little bit.... so pick a few things you are passionate about that you will not forget or ignore when mistakes are made. 3. i personally think and there have been numerous studies that support the idea that reward is a better motivator then punishment, so get really clear on what her motivator rewards are and use them. 4 if she does need correction, i personally think it is best to have already figured out and told her what the consequence for the infraction will be, and then follow through....give some thought to this, if you can make the punnishment fit the crime....it will speed her learning IMO. i would think long and hard about using corporal punnishment (flogging, caning, whipping) for punnishments, there are several schools of thought on this...mine in a nut shell is, D/s is a reward period...keeps the lines from being blurred... Consistency and repetition are your main goals here....be gentle, dont loose your cool, yelling and storming off and extreme punishing only serve to make you a fool and she will begin to loose faith, stay calm , centered and focused when correcting an infraction. so to recap: only pick things you are deeply invested in to train her to do, have pre thought out punnishments that she know what each consequence for each action is, 3be consistent, be cool and calm, and think twice about adding a third. also read as much as you can get your hands on...if your girl really is a slave, she needs some one who knows what she needs. i see it like this, if you never had a horse before and suddenly you were given a thoroughbred, you would have to research a lot about, feeding, training, riding, grooming, exercising, pasturing, and health...this really is not very different, if she is a slave as you say, she needs things that a girlfriend does not, and if you dont give them to her it could negatively not only effect your relationship, but also her health and well being... what make you say she is a slave? ps. dont forget "with great reward comes great responsibility"
