Take your dog to Boston yoga classes to calm it down for Halloween festivities

Halloween is upon us, and all over the U.S., pet owners are buying costumes for their dogs so that they too can enjoy the festivities. If you are thinking about letting your own pooch have a little fun with disguises this year, why not take a moment to consider its health as well? Spending time with the family is a good way to ensure the happiness and well-being of canine companions, and so is engaging in the time-honored tradition of yoga.

The trend is taking off in many parts of the country. Known as dog yoga – or doga – the practice is a bonding opportunity for humans and four-legged friends who are learning how to live a balanced life. The Independent Online reports that during a typical class, owners will massage their pets and help them stretch.

"You want to try and calm the dog down, so just touch along either side of the spine, then the rib cage, then the belly," said doga instructor Suzette Ackermann, quoted by the news source.

Before you take your dog along with the kids for trick-or-treating this year, think about bringing it with you to Boston yoga classes. Bonding and relaxing together can ensure a smooth, fun holiday for everyone.
