Doga Fun: Introductory Stretches (Yoga with Pets)

Doga: Introductory Stretches - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. So, Pauley heard the sound of "Om" and knew that it was time for Doga practice. He is ready to stretch. So here is a move. A lot of the moves you go into when the dog wants to do it. You do not force them to do it. Pauley is wanting to stretch up here. I get a nice, good hold underneath his arms, which is really important. You always support your dog so that they feel comfortable and never in any kind of pain or struggle. It is all about soft touch and love. What a good stretch you are getting here, cocker spaniel! In the meantime, you give him a little massage. You can give him a little deeper of a stretch. Oh, stretch up. But the important thing is that you are doing a pose and they are doing a pose. I am getting a nice, good seated position here with great posture. You ready to move into another pose? And then here is another one. We reach from underneath the legs and lift up the back legs. This is one of Pauley's favorites. And you can rotate back and forth. Lifting up the front legs. See, this is like the dog's sun salutation or vinyasa. And lowering the legs and then lifting up the back legs. Good boy. Let's show it on a small dog. Curly gets in line. She likes to get in line and they actually do that. Lift up. Hi. That is a good lift. And then down and we come and, oh, good girl. And again, repeating over and over. That is a move...you like that? You want to do more? Roll over and a little massage on the belly with a long stretch here. Good girl. And then the other legs. Sometimes it allows them to get a little playful and that is okay. Tucker, are you ready for yours? Okay. Hardy, you will have to wait your turn. So for Tucker, we will start with a massage into the head, right into the third eye point. Very nice. Very good. And breathing. We massage into the ears. A lot of acupressure points. We do a lot of acupressure on the dogs. Reflexology on their feet. Get a little pressure. Good boy. Nice.
