Online seminar recorded December 15, 2015 – Presented by: Jo-Rosie Haffenden. Get the scientific foundation of Real Dog Yoga and how to involve this practice in all of your training. “Yoga is defined as the stilling of the senses. It is a practice which involves people taking and holding specific postures, focusing on the present, and working on physical stimulation as a pathway to still themselves mentally. Real Dog Yoga shares the same aims [but for dogs], as well as improving focus, body consciousness, and dog-human connection.”

- HOW do we know when something in the training environment is poisonous to our dogs?
- Contra Freeloading: Trusting the desire to work
- Eyes on the prize: how watching food can remove choice with vulnerable dogs
- What happens to the brain when we stop and put our tools down?
- What is meant by a mutual training dialogue?
- HOW do we train using the Yoga protocol
- Base positions and using stillness to start on the right foot
- Breaking as part of the process of learning
