Yoga isn't only for you. With doga you breathe, stretch and unwind with your dog, at the same rhythm.
Doga blends simple yoga poses, breathing and moments of contact with your dog. You don't need to be flexible or experienced: the goal is not performance, it is the calm time you share.
5 tips to start gently
Pick a calm moment
After a walk, when the house is quiet. A very excited or hungry dog will struggle to settle.
Start with the shared breath
Sit next to him, breathe slowly, rest a hand near him without forcing him to stay. Dogs quickly sync with our rhythm.
Never force a pose
The dog can leave whenever he wants. If he walks away, that is information: stop, and try again later, more gently.
Learn to read his signals
Relaxed, uneasy or stressed: his body tells you. Watching before acting makes every session more pleasant for both of you.
Keep sessions short
A few minutes are enough at first. A short regular session beats a long one he endures, and always finish on a pleasant note.
