I was on an event website looking at different events that are coming to the Dallas-area soon. (Grandmaster Flash is dj'ing at the Ghostbar. )
Anyway, I came across the following title:

An annual weekend long event for pups and their handlers or trainers
International Puppy & Trainer Conference

And I'm thinking Cool! I have a new rescue puppy, Scamp, that came from a puppy mill so lil' man ain't got NO hometraining but he's absolutely adorable and could use some training. I might need to look into this event.

I continue reading the event details which say:

This is the only human pup-specific educational weekend of its kind as far as we know and is in its 8th year since of production with some significant changes having been made. This weekend includes educational classes/workshops, a panel discussion, mosh pits, vendors and more. It starts with a Butt Sniffing.... er... Meet & Greet at the Sterling Hotel, then on to the Dallas Eagle on Friday night. We return to the hotel for a mosh pit late Friday night. IPTC continues Saturday and Sunday at the Sterling Hotel. Whether you are a puppy, a Trainer or just curious about the lifestyle, we encourage you to join us for the International Puppy and Trainer Conference.

This weekend will include classes and workshops to learn about puppy play and what it is about from trainer and pup perspectives. We are bringing in three presenters from other states, Arizona, Washington and Georgia, this year to bring in more diversity. Feel free to take a moment and sniff out the PRESENTERS section to see who is presenting and sniff out the WORKSHOPS section to see what is available.

All pups need play time, so there will be scheduled mosh pit times available for all those pups who want to really get into head space and have fun with other pups. Pup Out! is proud to sponsor the Mosh Pit, an 18'x19' area of padded mats to play on along with some toys. Feel free to bring some of your own, but remember, pups tend to destroy certain toys, so don't take anything that you want to keep! ) Pup Out! is also allowing midnight wrestling event on the mats on Friday night. If the mosh pit doesn't wear you out, than join in on the wrestling!

It took me awhile to figure that this is for humans who want to pretend they're canine puppies. Why??? I don't get it.

Has anyone heard of this shit?
