How a slave is eval­u­ated is based upon how well she serves, obeys and pleases her mas­ter.  If a slave is the prop­erty of her Mas­ter, then as prop­erty she has a value. This value its deter­mined by her ser­vice to her Mas­ter. slave train­ing involves eval­u­at­ing this per­for­mance based on service.

A slave’s Ser­vice has a two part mean­ing; behav­ior and state of mind.

Both are defined as follows:

A) Behav­ior:

 Com­plet­ing assigned work or duties for her Mas­ter (fol­low­ing orders) This is a major part of being a slave. She is given an order or com­mand and stops what she is doing and com­pletes that order. It also may mean com­plet­ing orders that take a period of time to complete.

The fol­low­ing of estab­lished rules and pro­to­cols (Pre-existing guide­lines for behav­ior, work and duties) This can be rules of sub­mis­sion, behav­ior detailed in a con­tract, guide­lines or oral prior instructions.

Being an assis­tant to, help­ing or ben­e­fit­ing her Mas­ter (Act­ing on behalf of or in con­junc­tion with her Mas­ter, which involves her using her own judg­ment and intel­li­gence for the plea­sure and bet­ter­ment of her Mas­ter) Being a slave is not always fol­low­ing orders each step of the way. It may mean that a slave is given a gen­eral order to com­plete a task and all the judg­ment and rea­son­ing nec­es­sary to accom­plish it is hers. Many slaves are given posi­tions of author­ity in dif­fer­ent forms by their Mas­ters. She is expected to per­form in this posi­tion of author­ity in a way that is pleas­ing to her Mas­ter. Being a slave does not mean you never use your judg­ment or intel­li­gence again. In fact, it usu­ally means that you are given ways to use both more than a submissive.

B) State of Mind:

 Being ready to help and be use­ful to her Mas­ter (Being flex­i­ble and avail­able) This the will­ing­ness to accept spon­ta­neous orders.

The active devo­tion to her Mas­ter (actual behavior)

1) (wor­ship­ing her Mas­ter) — (love/admire/submit to) Ser­vice to her Mas­ter by her wor­ship of him is a way she shows her devo­tion and her slav­ery. It is behav­ior that exhibits love/admiration/submission. By wor­ship­ing her Mas­ter she expresses her sub­mis­sion, devo­tion and the desire for his dom­i­nance. This may involve kneel­ing or face down posi­tions, kiss­ing his feet or other rituals.

2) (com­mit­ment to her slavery)

a) A will­ing­ness to give her time, energy and effort to pleas­ing her Mas­ter and learn­ing the skills nec­es­sary for her slavery.

b) she also has a loy­alty to her Mas­ter and hon­ors his dom­i­nance of her.

Observ­able objec­tive of slave train­ing that can be eval­u­ated — service

The observ­able objec­tive of slave train­ing is proper ser­vice. A Mas­ter can only truly judge a slave by what his five senses reveal to him. Try as he may, he is unable to com­pletely see into his slave’s mind and heart. This is one thing he must accept and be hon­est with him­self about. He can’t hear her thoughts or feel the emo­tions a slave feels. He can only observe her behav­ior and come to a con­clu­sion about what he sees. Demon­strat­ing proper behav­ior is the best way a slave shows her state of mind to her Master.

Many have down­played the use of con­tracts, writ­ten pro­to­cols and rules and have opted for a more flex­i­ble unwrit­ten code of con­duct and rules of ser­vice. In goal ori­ented train­ing for­mal doc­u­men­ta­tion that details what is expected is very use­ful. It is espe­cially use­ful dur­ing early stages of train­ing. Pro­vid­ing a stan­dard that can be stud­ied and prac­ticed fos­ters pos­i­tive behav­ior and improves over­all ser­vice. It also helps to direct her motivations.

I agree that pro­vid­ing writ­ten rules and guide­lines will involve more work on the part of a Mas­ter. I dis­agree that it implies inflex­i­ble rules. The advan­tage is that changes in the writ­ten guide­lines are more likely to be dis­cussed, under­stood and obeyed by the slave.

If the objec­tive is to change a slave from her cur­rent behav­ior to a behav­ior that enables her to serve her Mas­ter bet­ter and in a way that is pleas­ing to him, then writ­ten instruc­tions are of great value. This assumes that a Mas­ter has a plan and is aware of what behav­ior he wants from her. If this is the case, rules don’t change that often.

The eval­u­a­tion of a slave’s ser­vice is best judged upon stan­dards that are clearly known by Mas­ter and slave. An eval­u­a­tion plan can be for­mally or infor­mally devel­oped for each of the areas defined as ser­vice. An eval­u­a­tion of her past and present ser­vice pro­vides a way a slave can see her progress as well as high­light­ing areas that need improvement.

Train­ing a slave is a process of re-educating and re-socializing her to serve her Mas­ter. A slave has to be edu­cated as to how she is expected to behave and to social­ize in the con­tract of her slavery.
