Yoga and Reiki for Dogs!
Bookmark and Share
Susan's guest this week, is Toriano Sanzone, a Chicago dog trainer who will share and demonstrate yoga techniques with dogs, that not only help stretch joints and muscles but strengthens the bond between human and canine, and increases the willingness of dogs to respond to cues. Then you will learn what Reiki is, and how Toriano has used this touch technique to lessen aggression and help injured dogs recover. Live cameras are in the broadcast studio so you'll want to watch to see cute puppies doing yoga! We'll also hear about the nationwide "Letters for Pets" campaign encouraging the White House to designate a National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day from "Tails" magazine, founder, Janice Brown.

"People will believe what you do, not what you say,'' she said.
