Pets and Work Places: Tips for Take Your Dog to Work Day
June 23 is National Take Your Dog to Work Day. Established in 1999, this day celebrates the companionship between humans and their canine companions. Did you know that bringing a man's best friend into the office benefits you and your colleagues as well as your pooch? Having pets in work places can boost productivity, increase morale and reduce stress. While combining pets and workplaces is beneficial, though, you must follow various steps to avoid additional stress.
How To Prepare for Pets and Work Places
Before you can bring your dog to work, make sure he has a clean bill of health. Update your pet's vaccines and ensure he has no illnesses that could spread to other dogs.
Be careful of your dog's temperament, too. Never bring an unsocialized dog. Your dog should be confident and get along well with other dogs and people. Suspicious, nervous canines are more likely to bite.
How To Work With Your Pet
Some dogs require basic training before they can go to the office with you. You are responsible for your dog's behavior, so ensure that he listens to basic commands and will not interrupt the work day by barking or jumping on your colleagues. Brush up on dog training if you fear it's been a while.
Bring all the supplies you could need, including a leash, water and food bowl, dog bed and treats. Treats will be your number one friend while working with your pup.
