Yoga and Fireworks

Thanks to Toni Shelbourne for an interesting day of diverse topics.

Real Dog Yoga was something we at Dog and Bone knew little about so were interested to see how it worked in practise. Toni explained how to set up the environment to create the right learning experience for the dog and took some of the handlers through a few of the yoga moves to give a flavour of the activity. The dogs all seemed pretty chilled by the end of the morning.

Toni also had some very useful information on what to do if your dog is afraid of fireworks. In this afternoon seminar she went through suggestions for both training and using calming aids such as TTouch, sound and scent therapy. An enjoyable talk with practical advice.
