Based on a cursory search of Images and References this appears to be a trend localized primarily to NY. The only source is a dead link reporting this trend. Due to lack of reliable sources I recommend this be deleted on grounds of failing to pass WP:GNG the only alternative is merge with dog training! BO &#124; Talk 00:22, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Strong keep. A cursory Google search reveals an abundance of news articles about dog yoga; I've added a very small selection of them to the article. A bizarre fad, yes, but definitely notable. And it certainly isn't localized to New York – see, for example, "Dog yoga takes Taiwan by storm" (ChannelNewsAsia). DoctorKubla (talk) 09:08, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep News stories cover a period of 6 years. No passing fad, meets general notability guidelines. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:57, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Extensive press coverage across several years, include outside the USA. What DoctorKubla has added is just scratching the surface in terms of sources (as a search through any newspaper archive would reveal) Moswento talky 13:57, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Coverage in Washington Post (May 23, 2012), Globe&Mail (May 14, 2012), Tampa Bay Times (April 22, 2012), The Mirror and the Sun (January 6, 2012), The Nation in Thailand (October 23, 2011), Daily Telegraph (October 21, 2011), Sunday Mail in Australia (October 2, 2011). Similar hits for coverage going back to 2003. AbstractIllusions (talk) 14:57, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Adequately sourced as it sits to clear GNG. Not sure why this was challenged... Carrite (talk) 17:19, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Headdesk; why is this at AfD? It's amazingly stupid but it's notable stupid.  &mdash; Coren (talk) 19:09, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GNG. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 22:19, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
