I confess I neither have access to a dog nor know much about yoga to be able to accurately judge this book on its contents beyond that it's very well put together and nice quality, with great photos and explanations of all the different poses and so on. The book does admit that it's not about doing yoga with your dog so much as doing yoga with your dog—the benefits being 1. bonding with your dog and 2. calming your anxious dog. It's also really only for smaller dogs, at least as far as the guides provided in the book... not to say a larger dog couldn't participate, but for the exercises involving picking up the dog or having the dog stand/sit/lie on you, that might be a problem.
Four stars for benefit of the doubt; I'm sure I could give a better score if I had a dog appropriate for the exercises, but for now I'm just reviewing whatever book I read, haha.

Meh. Unless you have a tiny dog, this book won't be of use to you. I have a corgi and even he's too big for this doga. :(
