Does Eau Claire Need
Dog Yoga?
Here’s something I’m pretty sure Eau Claire doesn’t have: dog yoga. (Please, oh please, correct me if I’m wrong.) The idea is that you can de-stress your dog, in large part, by distressing yourself. And taking your dog along on this calming journey helps. From JSOnline …
- Ruffin' It Resort in Madison, a hotel and day care center for dogs, began offering monthly doga classes in January for $15. Owner Renee Brantner Shanesy didn't know what kind of response she would get, but now there's a waiting list to join the eight students/dogs per session. Doga classes are also scheduled for May 17 and June 2.
- "It was just kind of a trial-and-error thing - let's see how it is in the Madison market. But it's been nuts," said Shanesy, who opened Ruffin' It Resort three years ago.
- Shanesy knew Weis, the instructor, and they joked about offering a doga class. One class led to another, and that's how Weis ended up sitting on a mat petting her 6-year-old golden retriever Nut and encouraging students to massage their dogs to calm them down.
Check out that article for a wealth of weird information – all of it just begging to be taken out of context. And there’s a very soothing video … if you’re a dog.

It is a bonding experience. Dogs and mankind have evolved together why not do yoga together. Dog yoga is special and gives piece of mind to all.

The next step is of course Cow Yoga because they all need that one-on-one attention to become happy cows from Wisconsin (not California).
