Yoga with your dog
by Baci

Yoga with your dog is kind of silly, but if you have an Agility or Flyball dog, it's definitely to your (and the dog's) advantage to stretch the dog out a little before and after. And plenty of people involved in dog sports do take their dogs to the chiropractor, and/or to a masseuse. I know this conjures up a picture of a dog in a spa-like setting with cucumber slices over their eyes, but in fact horses have been getting chiropractic for many years, and when my dog gets a massage, the masseuse sits with him on a mat on the floor in a side room at the facility where we train.

It isn't luxury. Considering what it costs to ENTER an Agility trial or Flyball tournament, and the improvement in performance I see when my dog has been adjusted/massaged, it's worth doing.

Having a dog at all is a bit of a luxury. Having a sporting dog that enters tournaments is absolutely a luxury.
