Mesa, AZ (Vocus) May 27, 2009 -- Put away the pet leashes and bring out the yoga mats and water bowls! Yoga4Dogs, based in Mesa, Arizona, recently launched a brand new DVD that is helping people all over the country partner up with their pets for an unforgettable yoga experience. From Chihuahuas and Daschunds to Rottweilers and Golden Retrievers, the Yoga4Dogs DVD allows pet lovers to bond with their dogs while getting fit and staying in shape. Now that's something to bark about!

"I wanted to motivate people to get off the couch and get healthy along with their pets," said Amy Stevens, Yoga4Dogs Co-Founder and DVD Instructor. "This is an ideal way for pet owners and their dogs to get fit without having to go to the gym, and it all happens in the comfort of their own home. No leashes, gym memberships or travel time."

Featuring various poses for people with small or large dogs, Stevens shows viewers how to master doga (yoga for dogs) moves such as the "Super Dog," "Wag the Tail," "Wheel Barrow" and many more. The DVD offers exercises for pet owners and their dogs together, as well as workouts for pet owners only. Stevens consistently provides doga tips and pointers throughout each exercise.

In addition to fun, relaxing and strength-building exercises, the DVD also comes with free doggy recipes from Stevens' Cooking4Canines book, including Fido's Fun Cake and Woof Woof Meatloaf. It even shows viewers how to give relaxing doggy massages from ears to paws!
