Nina takes a long drag of her cigarette, eyeing the flickering cinders before letting out a long sigh. Tucking her dirty blond hair behind her head as she continues to smoke the rest while eyeing a plain building with a logo that reads ‘Mind Matters’. “I can’t believe this is really gonna work.” She flicks her eyes over to the dog training building adjacent to it, rolling her eyes. “Those dogs probably have a better shot than me.”

Tossing the butt onto the ground, she stomps on it. Her black leather boot rubbing it into the sidewalk, before she starts walking inside. She slides her hands inside her red leather jacket, squeezing the cigarette box tight.

The door opens to reveal a large waiting room, a few very soft and lush chairs are pressed against the walls. There are all kinds of pet toys across the floor along with a few dogs laying about, most of which are asleep. Behind a desk sits a tall man, pale skin, with large square glasses and brilliant green eyes.

He is wearing a simple blue dress shirt and black khaki pants. “Why hello there, I’m guessing you are my new patient for today? Nina I believe.” His voice is soft and calm, immediately starting to smooth Nina’s anxieties and worries with just a few words. “I’m Cal, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Yeah the pleasure’s all mine?” Nina looks from side to side, wandering over to Cal as she looks at all of the different types of dogs. “Though I think I am in the wrong place, unless you also do dog training as a side hustle? Sounds like hell on the paperwork.” She chuckles weakly, fidgeting with the pack of cigarettes in her pocket.

Cal chuckles as well, shaking his head. “No no, these are from next door. They are trained to be therapy animals and I watch them when they need the extra space. All of them are trained to be alone while we are in session, if they make you uncomfortable.” Cal stands slowly, grabbing a file and gesturing to a door behind him. “Follow me and we can get started right away.”

“Oh no I don’t mind them, I like dogs, it was just a shock.” Nina nods slightly, starting to follow behind Cal. Her eyes stayed locked on a husky in the corner, a slight smile gracing her lips before turning away and looking back at the door.

“I see you like the Husky, is it your favorite?” Cal says as he opens the door to a new room, this one much darker and quiet. There is a large leather couch across from an armchair, along with a large pet bed near the foot of the couch. “Take a seat, would you like a snack? I find it’s easier to forget about your addictions with something else to do.”

“Sure I could do with anything to take my mind off of these if you don’t mind it.” Nina pulls her pack out and places it down on the couch, flopping down onto it and rolling onto her side. “And yes Husky’s are my favorite, I’d always wanted one but they’re big dogs and I couldn’t afford the care they’d need in my wildest dreams. Hence the cigarettes, yup that’s it, just the dog thing.” She clenches her teeth. “Definitely.”

“Oh I bet it’s just the dog thing, nothing else.” Cal says as he walks over to a cabinet, pulling out a little bowl of cookies. Each one has a little chocolate in the center and smells like peanut butter. “Here, peanut butter blossoms. Now, when exactly did you start smoking and how did it make you feel?” He says as he sits down in the armchair, handing the entire bowl to Nina.

Nina scoops up the bowl, taking one of the cookies and tossing it into her mouth. Trying to hide her enjoyment from being too obvious. “Gotta keep these things from the dogs, they’re good enough to make ya sick.” She chuckles weakly, trying to avoid the question as long as she can manage, before rolling her head back and looking up at the ceiling. “I guess it started when I moved out, I was hardly 18. Parents weren’t really big on the whole trans thing, and when I moved in with a friend of mine at the time… well he smoked, so I smoked. It made me feel… nothing… I just did it.”

“I see, well that really is a difficult place to be in. Many would turn to much harder things than cigarettes.” Cal leans forward as he smiles softly. “But if it makes you feel nothing, then it doesn’t sound like it does you much of anything. If you don’t mind, I believe I have a potential solution for you.” Cal says, his voice starting to radiate warmth and reassurance, a gentle wave of relaxation and pleasure that slowly washes over Nina. “When you answer a question, eat a cookie. If you don’t, then light a cigarette, I don’t mind the smoke.”

“Sounds like a plan to me, least until I get full.” Nina nods slightly, holding the bowl in her right hand and her cigarettes in the left. “Also I feel like it gave me an addiction that makes me nauseous whenever I’ve tried quitting… which is why I ended up here…”

“Oh I bet, that is why we will associate quitting with a wonderful cookie instead. It will help remove the nausea.” Cal says as he smiles, his words continuing to help Nina relax deeper into the couch. “Now, what memory causes you the most pain when you think about your family?”

“My mom… she uh.” Nina’s hand squeezes down on the pack of cigarettes, unsteadily starting to get one out to light it. Her eyes go distant for a few seconds, before she pulls the cigarette out and lights it. Not quite taking a hit, just watching it burn are the smoke trails upwards.

“That’s alright, this is part of the process. How about an easier question, can you tell me what your favorite season is?” Cal’s voice is steady and soft, the smell of the smoke slowly starting to feel disgusting compared to the gentleness of his voice and the sweetness from the cookie.

“Summer, I get cold really easily so the summers are the easiest for me.” Nina takes a deep breath, before blowing out the cigarette. She takes another one of the cookies and tosses it into her mouth, starting to mope as her mind still lingers on the first question. Despite the soothing balm of the chocolate and peanut butter she can't focus on the rest of Cal’s questions.

The cookie sends waves of warmth and relaxation throughout Nina’s body, the gentle taste making her mouth water slightly as Cal begins to speak again. “Wonderful, now a slightly harder question. If you could do anything, what would you be doing right now, remember there are no wrong answers.” Cal’s voice and words slip into Nina’s mind, everything else in the room seeming to blur other than the cookies and Cal.

“Well honestly if I could be doing anything, I would be in a nice big house. With a husky or two, watching some old rerun of a show I’ve not seen since I was twelve.” Nina chuckles lightly as she rewards herself for her honesty with a treat, the dog only showing up due to her seeing it earlier.

“Amazing, now the next question. Would you rather be yourself in that moment or the husky?” Cal Says as she eats another cookie, a soft and gentle warmth slowly fogging and muddling Nina’s mind as she listens. Each cookie makes it harder for her to think of anything other than what Cal says, her skin slowly starting to itch along the backs of her arms.

“I mean, it’s a whole lot easier to be a dog than a person eh?” Nina chuckles to herself, starting to lightly scratch her left arm where the itching started. She uses her left hand to take another of the cookies and toss it up into her mouth. “Also this couch is like… insanely itchy.”

“I've been meaning to get it replaced, if you’d like you could lay in the bed over there. Do you think it would be more comfortable?” Cal points to the fluffy pink pet bed, the cookie making Nina’s mind think of it only as a normal bed once Cal says so. The itching only gets worse as it spreads up her arm, the fogginess in her mind and vision getting stronger with each word Cal says and cookie Nina rewards herself with.

“Yeah yeah getting out of that couch, you really gotta get that thing checked for nats or something.” Nina shudders as she takes a hold of her bowl of cookies and walks over to the pet bed. Sitting down and placing the bowl next to her head, before she flops down onto her side, her eyes occasionally flicking up at Cal instead of the pink fluff of the bed. “And it’s definitely more comfortable.”

“Well of course it is, I mean it’s your bed after all.” Cal says softly, the moment Nina lays down the itching turns into a wonderful wave of heat and pleasure. Black and white fur slowly started to sprout out of her skin, slowly growing up her arms and chest. “Don’t you just want to be a pet? I mean it is just the perfect thing to be after all.”

Nina’s head tilts slightly at the question, her hand reaching out for something no longer there. As her eyes are stuck on the treats. “Y-yeah that does sound…” She mumbles as a rumbling whine comes out of her throat from all the warmth. “Good…” She leans her head over, biting down on one of the cookies with her teeth and dragging it into her mouth.

Cal slowly leans down and grabs the bowl of cookies, replacing it with a different treat shaped like bones that smell of peanut butter. “Perfect! Well I have wonderful news for you, you are a pet! My beautiful husky dog actually. I bet you even want one of my new treats, don’t you?” His voice is distant and hazy, but still sends waves of warmth and love throughout Nina’s body. Her form slowly shifts more doglike as a muzzle presses out of her face, a new tail slowly pressing and rubbing against her pants.

“Yes, treats please…” Is all that Nina can mumble out between rumbles and the beginning of little howling husky whines. She starts to roll from side to side as she tries lazily to remove whatever is pressing down on her new tail. “Want treats…”

Cal tosses Nina one of the treats, smiling happily. “Good girl! Now how about you get undressed, pets don’t wear clothes after all. Especially around their owner and mate, do they?” He says, taking a bite of another cookie. His form quickly shifts and changes, becoming an anthro golden retriever. “And I am both now, aren’t I Nina?”

“Yes!” Nina immediately dives down on the treat, snapping it up into her newly elongated muzzle. Her ears flicking in excitement, as her tail finally fully forces her pants to fall down wagging from side to side. Her new hands and legs clumsily fumbling through the process of trying to undress herself.

Cal tosses Nina two more treats, undressing himself as he watches the dog girl fumble with her clothes. “Now, your mate is going to give you pups. Every time you submit and act like the puppy you are, you can have another treat.” Cal says as he slowly places the treats on the ground, the warmth and pleasure from the different snacks compounding into a deep burning heat in Nina’s chest. “And do whatever your new instincts tell you, I imagine the heat is impossible to ignore after all.”

Nina lets out a long whining howl as she finally squirms her way out of her old clothing. Starting to pad her new paws and feet on the pet bed, her tail raised high as she leaned down and started to eat the two extra treats.

“Good girl!” Cal says as he slowly gets out of the chair and moves up behind Nina, muzzle slowly pressing between her exposed legs and licking gently at her slit. “Now what does my pet want now?” He says before licking harder, tongue gently pressing deeper in.

“Puppies!” Nina presses her hind legs out further as Cal starts to run his tongue along her slit. Unable to help but start to drip in anticipation, the roiling heat consuming her senses with the all consuming need to be bread and to have puppies.

Cal slowly mounts Nina, cock teasing and pressing against her slit as he leans close to her ear. “Then Puppies you shall have, but dogs only speak like humans when told too.” He whispers softly, continuing to tease Nina as his cock gently rubs against her slit.

With that final little push of guidance, alongside the heat, Nina’s ability to form words beyond the simple whines or howls melts away. Her hips pressing up against the tip of Cal’s cock, unable to get him in herself but attempting to tease him into claiming her despite that. “Awooooooo!”

Cal then thrusts into Nina, rutting deep into her as he bites down on her neck. His teeth keep her pinned as he starts to thrust in and out, hands reaching around to rub and pet her belly. “Good girl… just a good girl!” He says before biting down again, picking up his speed as he pounds into her.

Those words flow through her mind, the praise and stimulation causing Nina’s arms and legs to buckle and bend under the pressure. Gradually dropping down until she’s drooling on the bed, and absentmindedly rutting her clit up against Cal’s length. Unable to balance herself in the slightest as the echoing tension from the bites on the neck rolls through her.

“Cum for me darling, I want you to remember this feeling forever.” Cal whispers as he goes faster, leaking into Nina as he knots her. He then bites her deeper, teeth piercing her skin as his hands rub up and down her chest.

Tension flows through Nina, as the heat builds into a bubbling crescendo. The newly minted husky unable to do anything other than howl, louder and louder with each moment. Her slit squeezing down on Cal as mind obliterating warmth blankets her entire body.

Cal howls along with Nina, cumming rope after rope into her as they howl in unison. After a few minutes Cal slowly rests against Nina, licking and kissing at her neck as he snuggles into her. “You make the perfect new mate, I can’t wait to take you home forever and to give you all the puppies I could ever want.”
