Still Waters Posted July 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2011 After a hard day guarding the house and generally being kept on a tight leash, a dog deserves some relaxation.And now it can, thanks to the latest canine craze... dog yoga. Known as 'doga', it is the latest trend from the Far East, which now has a cult following in the U.S. The classes led by renowned yoga instructor and dog lover, Suzette Ackermann, in Hong Kong aim to help dogs find their 'inner' peace. The doga sessions allow pups to work through poses including a series of stretches and massages that are believed to help improve the heart and digestion. Read more...

phatmanxxl Posted July 16, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 16, 2011 That's just as bad as anti depressants for cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted July 16, 2011 #6 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Don't get me wrong here, I really love dogs...but this is utter nonsense IMO. I was a bit amused though, I had to laugh thinking how one would do this "doga" yoga with a 75 lb Collie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit amused though, I had to laugh thinking how one would do this "doga" yoga with a 75 lb Collie! That was exactly my thought. I do give my Malamute massages which he loves.

DigitalDreamer Posted July 17, 2011 #9 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Dogs are way cooler than cats which is why they need to relax and do some yoga IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGhost_and_theDarkness Posted July 17, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) *facepalm* People can be soooooooo ridiculous. It's amazing what stupid fads Americans gobble up so readily. PS- Cats are waaaay more awesome than dogs. Edited July 17, 2011 by theGhost_and_theDarkness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my_psychosis Posted July 17, 2011 #12 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Cats do yoga anyway - they get themselves into some impossible positions while having a clean! Lol my cat hangs upside down between the posts on our stairs. She has fallen a couple times. But on topic, I think this is just silly. It's almost as bad as neuticles (I'm not sure I spelled that right) Anyway it's supposed to be fake testicles for dogs that have been neutered, so they wont be embarrassed in front of other dogs. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert1 Posted July 17, 2011 #18 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) It looks like harmless and silly fun. Although I would prefer to take my dog to the park for some fresh air and exercise for it's inner peace. Doga sounds like something that is only practical for the smaller breeds of dogs. I'd like to see someone try and do it with a rotweiller or a mastiff. They probably wouldn't last ten minutes.

Varelse Posted July 19, 2011 #19 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Really does sound like a new way to bilk money from dog owners who don't know how to play with their own pet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyBelly Posted July 20, 2011 #20 Share Posted July 20, 2011 i reckon this is just another way to get money off people and anyway you wouldnt know if it was helping the dogs or not because its not like they can tell you lol but dont get me wrong i really love dogs but i dont think i will go this far but good luck to them i say and i guess good job to the people who create it because i reckon they will get a bit of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
