Dogs in the Workplace Etiquette

It should include:
- Areas off-limits to dogs, especially places where sensitive equipment or products are stored, break rooms, etc.
- Guidelines for dogs that are not spayed or neutered.
- Require owners to keep control of their dog at all times.
- Determine what behaviors will evict a dog, and agree upon the number of “strikes” a dog will be allowed before eviction.
- Make sure all visiting dogs are current on vaccinations and also don’t have internal or external pests.
- Designate an outdoor area for walking dogs.
- Bring along baggies and equipment to clean up after dogs.
- Designate non-dog areas to accommodate people who don't like dogs or have allergies.
- Only allow dogs that are well-socialized to people or other dogs. Not all dogs get along.
Remember, the workplace is not a playground for your dog. If he or she begins to distract others from their work, consider banning dogs from the workplace.

Bulldogs in England were originally working dogs who drove and caught cattle and guarded their masters' property. They were brought by working class immigrants to the American South where they used this all-around working dog for many tasks. By the end of World War II, however, the breed was almost extinct. Mr. John D. Johnson, a returning war veteran, decided to resurrect this breed. The modern American Bulldog continues to serve as an all-purpose working dog; a fearless and steady guard dog; and a loyal family companion. |
