To some these may appear unnecessarily complicated and fussy but it illustrates the amount of detail required in the training of a slave if he is to serve you as you wish. There is no room for the slave to decide for himself and this is the key to successful training. My slave knows that he will get one stroke of my cane for every second he is late in performing any routine for which I have stated a time requirement. It goes without saying that he is now very rarely late.
The well trained slave will know exactly what his Mistress’ requirements are for each of the duties and acts of servitude in the list above. Clearly it will take quite a while for this level of training to be completed but I can assure you it really is worth the effort. Once fully trained the slave will serve his Mistress exactly as she demands with no room for failure. And once this stage has been reached life will be very easy and relaxing for the Mistress.

DEMERIT MARKS
Most Mistresses I know want life to be as easy as possible. The reasons for owning a slave are many but making the Mistress’ life easy is near the top of the list. Some sort of record of the slave’s performance is desirable and it must be the slave’s task to produce it. One possibility is a punishment book recording punishments awarded and the reason for their award. Whilst this might make interesting reading it serves no other useful purpose and it use often lapses after a time.
Another idea is a system of demerit points. At any time the Mistress may award these points if she is in any way dissatisfied with her slave’s performance. These are then entered in a book by the slave and a running total recorded. The system can be used to determine any rewards the slave might get for good service. I am not, in principle, in favour of rewarding a slave for good service as I expect good service. I punish for bad service but rewards can be a good motivating device for a male slave. The prospect of being allowed to masturbate to orgasm is a powerful incentive which should be exploited.
The points system can also have a marked improvement on the slave’s behaviour in public, a situation where he often forgets his status in life. The slave will know that his servitude is being monitored and assessed in the presence of others without any sign of it happening and any word being spoken. The Mistress can award the points next time she and the slave are in private.
The advantage of this type of record is that it serves a useful purpose and the slave must ensure that it is completed each day. It is in the slave’s interest to see that it is completed. He might get a reward!
At the end of the designated period (one week or one month) the slave should present the demerit book to the Mistress. She can then decide what corrective action is required to encourage the slave to improve his servitude.
My slave
Any infraction, lateness, hesitation to obey, lack of attention to routines, lack of respect, etc earns him 10 points. Initially he notched up well over 200 in a month; no orgasms then! Now that he is trained he usually earns between 80 and 150 a month so he still has to be very careful and very submissive and very humble if he is to get any sort of relief at the end of the month.
As part of his bedtime routine he kneels beside the bed with the Demerit book between his teeth. I inform him as to the things I am not pleased with and announce the points awarded. When I click my fingers he enters the points in the book and tells me how many he has so far that month. He then thanks me for my assessment, places the book in the drawer beside the bed and assumes the 'please me' position of presentation for sexual use.
If he forgets to present the book it is an automatic 10 points. Indeed forgetting any regular duty incurs the same penalty in addition to any punishment I may give him.
At the end of the month I inform the slave of my satisfaction or otherwise with his performance and set aside a time for corrective action. This is usually some kind of extended punishment depending on the number of points accrued. Examples include:
• Only water to drink for several days
• Crawling on belly instead of hands and knees for 24 hours
• Short hobble chain for 24 hours
• Gagged for 24 hours
• Drinking from his bowl like a dog for 24 hours
• Permission to go to toilet granted only at certain times
• Extended whipping (one stroke for each point),etc.

MEAL TIMES
The preparation and serving of his Mistress' meals is one of the primary duties of a slave and one where he will be expected to demonstrate adherence to strict routines to demonstrate his subjugation and humility.
Breakfast for the Mistress will almost invariably be served in her bedroom and the slave must be ready to serve at the time required. He will have to rise early and allow sufficient time for preparation so that he is waiting outside the bedroom to enter at exactly the correct time. There can be no acceptable excuses for lateness in this respect. Whilst the Mistress eats her breakfast the slave can be setting out her clothes for the day if he has been given instructions, running a bath or simply kneeling or bellying to the floor beside the bed. The slave should be attentive and ready to remove the tray when his Mistress has finished.
It is axiomatic that the slave eats after his Mistress and if she is going to leave him at home and go to work, as I do, then this will be when the Mistress has left the house. If my slave in coming with me to the shop he eats in the kitchen after serving me.
If the slave is good at cooking then he can be responsible for the preparation of all meals. My experience and that of my friends is that slaves can be trained to prepare and cook basic meals and follow simple instructions but for more complicated recipes they need supervision and sometimes the Mistress will need to prepare the meal herself.
A slave preparing a meal in the kitchen must keep a sharp ear as he may be summoned by his Mistress to serve an aperitif. Preparing the meal is not an excuse for tardiness in reporting in this case.
The Mistress' table must be prepared as she likes it and when the meal is ready to serve the slave must report this to the Mistress in the way she has prescribed.
Mistresses may wish the slave to adopt a certain position whilst she eats, on his belly, sometimes beneath the table, possibly licking her boots. The choice is hers.
When she has finished she may snap her fingers, the slave will stand, bow and clear away before serving the next course. She may require more wine etc and the slave must be attentive to her needs at all times.
When she has finished he will stand, hold the chair as she leaves the table and, if she has said nothing, follow her and assume the submissive position to await orders. The Mistress may of course issue instructions before leaving the table.
In order to maintain the Mistress/slave differential the slave should never be permitted to eat under the same conditions as his Mistress. For me this means that he eats from a bowl, kneeling on the floor and is permitted one item of cutlery, usually a spoon. If the Mistress wishes the slave to eat at the same time as she then he should never be seated at the Mistress' table. It is perfectly possible to have a conversation with the slave on the floor and there is no risk that he will get ideas above his station and forget what he is.
When the slave eats after the Mistress he will have to get used to eating food which is cold or nearly so. A slave's food should never be warmed up as this would indicate consideration for the slave's preferences. The eating of freshly cooked food which has cooled is quite appropriate and sends all the correct messages to the slave.
