We work with a dedicated Canine Coordinator who handles our sourcing and welfare oversight.
We work with rescues and working dog facilities when we can, and we also work with breeders.
We partner with small, responsible breeders who complete health testing, veterinary care, prioritize clean home environments, and early socialization.
We do not work with puppy mills or large-scale commercial operations. If for any reason you have reason to suspect a breeder has slipped through our process, we welcome that information and ask you inform us immediately.
All puppy yoga staff have prior dog-handling experience and are trained to monitor for stress signals and fatigue. Every class has at least one staff member certified in both human and dog CPR via the Red Cross.

We look for:

AKC Registration
-
All puppies are between 8-12 weeks confirmed by veterinary documentation.
-
The dogs participate in no more than four sessions in a day, with at least a one-hour break between sessions.
During breaks they rest in a separate quiet area, have water, are fed according to breeder instructions, and are monitored by experienced staff. If a puppy is tired or overstimulated, they sit out, you may see our staff pull puppies out of class. Guests do not have a right to the dogs.
-
Puppies have begun core vaccinations and come with veterinary documentation from breeder, rescue or facility.
We understand that young puppies are still completing their vaccine schedule which is why we maintain strict sanitation and hygiene practices in the studio. We know that they can't receive rabies until 12 weeks and are staunch in our practices in making sure our dogs are properly isolated. This goes for rescues as well, we will not bring on rescue puppies if we cannot confirm if they may have been exposed to rabies.
-

What matters to us is whether the breeder prioritizes health, structure, and welfare.
We welcome doodles and other mixed breeds when they come from programs that health test and prioritize temperament and long-term wellbeing.
We do not support breeders that intentionally select for extreme traits that compromise breathing, mobility, or long-term health. Our Canine Coordinator scrutinizes every program carefully. -
We support local shelters through financial contributions, visibility and community collaboration. We have worked with them through puppy yoga classes, kitten classes, and through specific classes with a financial donation.
We opened at the beginning of winter which has limited us to our studio, but we do have events organized into the warmer months with adult and senior dogs for adoption as well. Our small studio really doesn’t lend to these sorts of events, but there is a lot of demand from staff and guests for them, and we are really excited to host and do more! We are always open to suggestions, too!
