What is all the fuss about Yoga for dogs?

\n

Well, there is certainly a lot of curiosity about this ‘dog time’ activity. But, it holds good grounds with pet parents who have taken Doga classes. They give rave reviews about how doing Yoga with their pet has improved their health as well as coordination with the pet. The general perception is that the classes have benefitted both and are worth spending the bucks. People also feel that in a busy country like USA, this practice helps one spend great time with the pet.

\n

How Doga originated?

\n

All those who practice Yoga must know that most of the postures have been taken from animals. Be it the inverted dogs pose, the cobra pose, or the camel pose, humans have been inspired from animals in a big way. Doga is the role reversal. Now canines will be practicing the stretches and body balancing. The riveting thing is that it is super effective in creating a harmony between the body and mind of the practitioner. Yes! Just as Yoga is super effective for humans, Doga is emphatic for dogs.

\n

Doga is highly effective for all age groups of pets. Be it a cuddling puppy or a protective adult dog, Doga benefits one and all. It adds flexibility to an arthritic pet’s body by making the stiff muscles smooth and healthy. It also creates a sound and harmonious state of mind by relieving extra stress from the pet’s system. By keeping the pet active, Doga transforms the pet’s aggression into more creative stuff. The stretching practices help fluffy pets to lose few inches and tone down their bodies.

\n

Apart from running, swimming and jumping, Doga, a super mix of stretches and relaxation is a novel method of recreation for the pet. It also elevates the pet’s general health and wellbeing. Studies have suggested that canines going for Doga classes are far more spontaneous than other pets. They develop a tranquil spirit, which makes them truly adorable. So, it is not just fascinating activity but a completely healing time for the pets.
