-Mental Well-being: Reduces anxiety and stress through calming practices.
-Bonding Time: Strengthens the owner-dog relationship.
Basic Techniques to Try at Home
Start with these simple poses:
-Downward Dog: Encourage a stretch when your pup already stretches naturally.
-Supported Savasana: Help your dog relax by placing your hand on their chest, promoting calmness.
Creating a Calm Environment
To set the mood:
-Play soft, calming music.
-Use mats or blankets to create a comfortable space.
-Practice in a calm, quiet area where your dog feels safe.
