National Take Your Dog to Work Day! Every year, the Friday after Father’s Day is the day that office workers with dogs look forward to the most. It is a day to promote the companionship of pets, get our furry friends out of the house and into the office, and become the “right-hand man” at the desk.
Make the workplace more “cute” and “fun”! Are you ready to take your dog to work?
Why take your dog to work?
Dogs are more than just pets – they are family members, stress relief partners, and conversation starters. Studies have shown that having a dog in the workplace can lower blood pressure, increase work efficiency, and improve team cohesion.
Take Your Dog to Work Day aims to relieve office workers’ work stress, improve work efficiency, enhance teamwork, and cultivate a more responsible workplace atmosphere. In addition, the day encourages non-pet owners to consider adopting dogs from local shelters, giving rescued dogs the opportunity to find permanent homes.
How to prepare for “Take Your Dog to Work Day”?
Taking your dog to work is not only fun, but it also requires some preparation to ensure that your dog behaves well and does not disturb others at work. In addition, Bring Your Dog to Work Day is a folk event, and you need to make sure your employer agrees and ask your colleagues for consent.
Bring familiar items
Dogs often rely on familiar items to maintain emotional stability, such as their beds, toys, blankets, etc. If the dog feels uneasy or lonely, these items can help it soothe its mood.
Dokoo dog camera and Dokoo electronic collar are good dog items worth taking out. Dokoo dog camera has a 2K 4MP camera and supports 290° field of view. You can remotely observe the dog and interact with voice at any time, and snack games make the dog more active.
Dokoo dog electronic collar does not require tension, the collar size is adjustable, and it supports three training modes and 9 training intensities, which better helps correct dog behavior without affecting others.
Create a safe space
Some pet-friendly workplaces will set up special pet activity areas to provide dogs with a relatively quiet, safe and private space for rest. In addition, you can also hide cables, fix trash cans, and remove dangerous small items and company valuables in advance.
Avoid disturbing coworkers too much
Some coworkers may not like animals or are allergic to dog hair, so it’s best to consult with coworkers before bringing your dog to work to ensure that everyone can spend the day happily together. When communicating with coworkers who are also dog owners, you can share feeding tips, but avoid excessive snooping.
Monitor behavior
When we bring our dogs to work, make sure our dogs are well-socialized, vaccinated, and healthy to ensure safety. Pay attention to your dog’s body language and observe if they show signs of stress in the unfamiliar environment of the office. If they seem overwhelmed, you can develop a backup plan (such as going home quickly). Some soothing chews or familiar blankets can help them adapt to the new environment easily.
