This week’s Dog Tales is all about overall wellness for both you and your furry friends! As we enter the final weekend of Dogtoberfest, we are excited to bring you two fantastic classes that focus on peace and bonding with your pet.

On Saturday at 9 a.m., Christina Kubacki from Pawmaste Pet Sitting will lead Doga (Dog Yoga). Doga is a unique way to enjoy a 30-minute yoga class with your dog. “All levels are welcome. You can learn some moves to help your pet stretch after a long walk,” explains Christina. “No worries if your pet isn’t interested in participating, they can just lie there with you.” Participation in the class is free with a Dogtobefest ticket. Be sure to bring a mat or blanket. 

Christina has been running her pet care business for 15 years, offering services such as dog walking, pet sitting, nail trimming and, of course, Doga classes. “I love animals and worked at a vet clinic, so it made sense to continue my love for animals,” Christina shares.

Then, on Sunday, Elizabeth Griswold will lead our Sit and Stay a While: Pet Socialization at three different times – 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. This class is designed to help you and your pup connect with others in a relaxed setting. It’s a wonderful opportunity to unwind, bond with your dog, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Garden as we close out our last weekend of Dogtoberfest! This class is $20 for Members and $22 for non-members. You can sign up here. 

Don’t miss this chance to prioritize both your wellness and your pet’s!
