After months (or years) of remote work, a lot of pet parents got used to having a four-legged coworker nearby. Now that offices are reopening, more employees are wondering if dogs can join the 9 to 5.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news? Many companies are warming up to the idea of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/pros-and-cons-taking-your-dog-to-the-office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dogs in the workplac<\/a>e. But before you head out the door together, there are a few things to think through.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how to make office life work for you, your coworkers, and your pup.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Make Sure Your Office Is Actually Dog-Friendly<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start picturing your dog curled up under your desk, confirm that pets are actually welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all workplaces allow pets. Some limit how many dogs can be in the building at once. Others restrict where dogs can go. Talk to HR or management about the policy before showing up with your dog in tow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there isn\u2019t a policy yet, make a case for one. Dogs at work have been shown to boost morale, reduce stress, improve social interaction and job satisfaction, and even increase retention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.28571rem;\">2. Consider Whether Your Dog Even Wants This<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy to assume your dog will love tagging along. Some do. Others absolutely do not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your dog becomes anxious around strangers, reacts strongly to noise, or can\u2019t settle in new places, the office may feel overwhelming. On the other hand, calm dogs who enjoy new environments usually adapt quickly. Personality matters a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Schedule a Vet Check<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sick coworkers stay home. So should dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before day one, make sure your dog is up to date with vaccinations and parasite prevention. Some offices even require proof of vaccinations.\u00a0 Checkups ensure your dog isn\u2019t bringing any unwanted issues such as fleas, into a shared space. It also gives you peace of mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">4. Brush Up on Office \u201cPetiquette\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Office dogs need manners. They don\u2019t have to be perfect, but they should respond to basic commands like sit, stay, come, leave it, and go to bed or mat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barking at everything, running through hallways, or going for everyone\u2019s lunch isn\u2019t really professional behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training should happen at home first. Reward calm behavior. Ignore barking when possible so you\u2019re not reinforcing it. Consistency makes all the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>5. Dog-Proof Your Workspace<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offices aren\u2019t always pet-safe. Electrical cords can become chew toys. Trash cans are full of tempting leftovers. Purses and backpacks might contain chocolate or medications. Paper shredders should be unplugged, not left on standby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get down to your dog\u2019s level and scan the area. If it looks chewable, your dog will probably go for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Pack the Essentials<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your dog needs their own office setup to feel secure. Bring a comfortable bed or blanket so they have a familiar space or defined territory. Pack water, bowls, quiet toys, and long-lasting treats or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doggearreview.com\/article\/dogfoodpuzzletoys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">food puzzles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to keep them occupied. Leave the squeaky toys at home. Your coworkers will appreciate it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also remember that when dogs roam in a shared workspace, supervision is important. Because office doors are frequently opened for deliveries or commuting staff, many professionals now utilize a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tractive.com\/en\/pd\/gps-tracker-dog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> discreet dog GPS tracker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as part of their &#8220;office kit.&#8221; It provides an essential digital backup in high-traffic environments where a pup might slip out unnoticed during a busy afternoon meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And don\u2019t forget waste bags and cleaning supplies. Even well-trained dogs can have nervous moments in new environments. Being prepared avoids stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>7. Ease Into the Routine<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t go straight from zero office time to full-time with your dog. Start with a few hours. Not multiple days in a row at first. Let your dog adjust gradually. Offices are full of strange sounds, smells, and people. Even a slow office can feel overwhelming to a dog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take potty breaks often. Go for short walks. A quick midday stroll helps burn off energy and prevents accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>8. Watch for Signs of Stress<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dogs communicate constantly. Ears pulled back tightly, lip licking, yawning when not tired, shaking, whale eyes, tucked tails, or sudden growling are all signals that your dog may be overwhelmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you notice stress, give them a break. Let them rest in a crate or take them home if possible. Some dogs prefer occasional office days instead of daily attendance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">9. Have a Backup Plan<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll need to leave your desk at some point. Meetings, bathroom breaks, lunch, and emergencies all come up. Never leave your dog unattended without a plan in place. Ask a coworker to keep an eye on them or bring them with you if appropriate<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">10. Prepare for Emergencies<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Day-to-day management is one thing. Emergencies are another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workplaces are required to have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/busy-offices-always-prepared-emergency-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">evacuation plans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and you\u2019ve probably participated in drills before. But when your dog is with you, things change. You need to move quickly and calmly. Keep a leash easily accessible and ensure your dog\u2019s GPS collar is active; in the chaos of a building evacuation or a crowded assembly point, knowing you can instantly locate your pet on your phone prevents a stressful situation from becoming a crisis. Also consider how crowded exits might affect multiple dogs leaving at once. You don\u2019t want to make decisions under pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Office dogs can absolutely improve the workplace. They lighten the mood and make long days more enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it all works best when it\u2019s well managed. Success depends on preparation and respect for the shared environment. And when everything clicks, dogs become part of office life in the best possible way.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/office_space_search\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ai-lazy size-full wp-image-9469 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/q_glossy+w_990+to_auto+ret_img\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/A-better-way-to-find-office-Space-600-x-200-px-e1706915504853.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/A-better-way-to-find-office-Space-600-x-200-px-e1706915504853.png 600w, https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/A-better-way-to-find-office-Space-600-x-200-px-e1706915504853-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/A-better-way-to-find-office-Space-600-x-200-px-e1706915504853-160x53.png 160w\" alt=\"Find office space\" width=\"600\" height=\"200\" data-spai-src=\"https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/A-better-way-to-find-office-Space-600-x-200-px-e1706915504853.png\" data-spai-orig-obs=\"true\" data-spai-lazy-loaded=\"true\" data-spai-width=\"600\" data-spai-height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bringing your dog to work sounds like a dream.
