Yoga Paws Frequently Asked Questions

Puppy Yoga isn’t just fun for humans—it’s an incredible experience for the puppies too! Our sessions help with their socialisation, introducing them to new people, gentle handling, and different sights and sounds in a calm and positive environment. This early exposure builds their confidence, reduces anxiety, and helps them grow into well-adjusted, friendly dogs. Plus, they get plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention, making it a joyful and enriching experience for them. Of course, their well-being always comes first, with plenty of breaks, water, and a cosy space to rest when needed.

That’s part of the Yoga Paws magic! We keep the breed a surprise until the day of your session, making every experience unique. Whether you’re greeted by a pack of fluffy Labradoodles, playful wrinkly-faced Bulldogs, or something totally unexpected, you’ll have to wait and see who’s joining your downward dog. No spoilers, just cuteness guaranteed!

All our puppies come from trusted, ethical breeders and select rescues that prioritise their health, happiness, and early socialisation. We only work with sources that meet our high welfare standards, ensuring each puppy is well cared for and comfortable in a group setting. Every pup that joins our sessions is loved, looked after, and in the best possible hands before, during, and after class.

Nope! They’re still babies, and accidents happen. But don’t worry—our team is on it with quick clean-ups and plenty of supplies to keep everything fresh. The studio is designed with easy-to-clean surfaces, so a little puppy puddle won’t ruin the fun.

As much as we’d love to meet your pup, we only work with puppies from our partnered breeders to ensure they’re fully prepared for the experience. This keeps the environment safe, controlled, and stress-free for everyone involved. Your puppy will just have to hear about it when you get home!

We do. In fact, we now host rescue-focused sessions almost every weekend across Australia. While rescue puppies can sometimes be harder to coordinate due to availability, temperament and approval processes, we work closely with multiple shelters and remain committed to growing these ethical, welfare-led partnerships.

Most puppies attending our sessions already have homes and are here for socialisation. While some may be available through the breeder or rescue we’re partnering with, we do not allow adoptions or sales at our events to avoid impulsive decisions. If a pup is available, we’re happy to connect you with the relevant breeder or shelter after your session to discuss next steps.
