Anyone who’s ever tried yoga or any other workout routine for which balance and coordination are requirements, you’ll definitely find the video, and the dog, below very impressive.
As someone who can barely even maintain a handstand in a pool, the footage below is particularly mind-blowing. Youtuber Dai Aoki trains dogs to do various yoga poses and balancing positions. In this video, Aoki works with his spunky, talented Border Collie named Hollie, who has clearly undergone lots of training.
By using equal parts play and obedience, Aoki gets the pup to sit gracefully, tail wagging, on his raised feet.
I was really blown away…take a look for yourself!
Wow…suddenly my dog’s ability to ask for belly rubs on command doesn’t feel quite as exciting 🙂 What did you think of the video? Can your dog do any balancing or yoga tricks? Share your thoughts!
