Practicing dog yoga is to never force it. Try incorporating yoga into your daily routine and play time.

If you seem interested in what you do, go ahead and introduce something to yoga.

This can be fun for you and your dog and can take all day in the afternoon if you let it! That means that during quarantine people have more time to learn new tricks and tactics!
Have a Dance Party

Listening to music and dancing around the living room will help relieve some of your pressure and allow you to muster up energy. The dance party will encourage your dog to jump with you and remind them that they still have your attention during the homework day. Pick a playlist and dance!
