What to consider before taking your dog to the office
Taking your dog to work can be extremely rewarding for you, your coworkers and most importantly, your dog, but there are a few things to consider.
- Create a safe space at your desk: Bring your dog’s favourite blanket, toy, food or water bowls to the office and ensure you have an allocated space at your desk for them to relax.
- Introduce your dog to others outside: If there are already other dogs in the office, try to arrange for your dog to meet them in a neutral space outside, with plenty of positive reinforcement and treats.
- Set an alarm for exercise and toilet breaks: If having your dog at the office helps you stretch your legs more often, that’s a great perk!
- Pack a dog bag: New environments can be confusing and exciting for your dog. Ensure you have everything needed to clean up any mess they may make or make them more comfortable.
