From the back cover:

“Yoga is defined as the stilling of the senses. It is a practice which involves people taking and holding specific postures, focusing in the present, and working on physical stimulation as a pathway to still themselves mentally. Real Dog Yoga shares the same aims, as well as improving focus, body consciousness and dog-human connection.

The learning process outlined in this book sets out to teach caregivers and dogs holistically and as one. Real Dog Yoga empowers both you and your dog on a journey which increases the connection between you, seeking to create a new, fluid interspecies dialogue with patience, compassion and respect at the heart.

What they experts say:

‘Real Dog Yoga is a refreshing look at the effect of movement on emotion. The author creatively integrates force-free dog training with relaxation. This book helps you create a common language with your dog about body movements – not for the sake of tricks you can show off – but for the sake of the dog’s own wellbeing.’ ~ Grisha Stewart, MA, CPDT-KA, create of BAT (Behaviour Adjustment Training)

‘This book had me entranced from the moment I started reading the first paragraph…It is an exceptional book that will add new dimensions to existing knowledge, regardless of the skill sets already in place, and one that honours the glorious, forgiving and tolerant being, the dog.’ ~ Sarah Fisher, behaviour counsellor, Tellington TTouch instructor and practitioner.'”
