Sometimes you must deal with dog aggression head-on: teach them to meditate! That’s why I put my dogs in Club Zen–Mindfulness training for dogs.
Here’s a peek at what my dog boys get up to during mindfulness class:

Fernando: She gone yet?
Pablo: Nope.
Fernando:...Oh…man…pet…me…huh?
Pablo: Get with the meditation bro. It’s oh…man…pet…me…hun! As in, pet me hunny.

Pablo: Om man pet me hun! Om man pet me hun! Ahroooo! Yip! Yip!
Fernando: Would some buddha shut him up? Meditation is supposed to be quiet.

Fernando: It’s your fault we’re here…meditation to help with your aggression issues.
Pablo: Shut it….my issue is only with dogs…okay? At least I’m good with humans. You’re the one who’s snarly with new people.

Must stay awake…must stay awake…must…stay…snork…snork…(Puggy snores continue…).

Shhh…quiet over there bro…I’m having a ZEN moment…

Pablo: I got nothing man…nothing…
Fernando: I think that’s the point...

Pablo: Fernando! That’s nasty…I was almost there and then you had to go and do that...
Fernando: Shhh…Fernando does not exist…he is one with the universe…
Pablo: By chance…was the universe eating from the garbage can last night?
Fernando: …maybe.

Fernando: Do you think there are bickies in Nirvana?
Pablo: There better be. That’s what I’m holding out for.

Are we there yet?

Sufferin’…free of sufferin’…sufferin’…sufferin’ some more to be free of sufferin’…sufferin’…free of sufferin’…

Glad they’re learning mindfulness. If ever a dog needs it , it’s Pablo! Won’t hurt Fernando either.

Too true. Tabs is actually the inspiration for the photo shoot. She found Pablo sitting up against the sofa and he looked crossed-legged like he was meditating đŸ™‚
