“Whether you are bringing your dog to the office every day
or just for one day a year, you and your canine need to be
on your best behavior,” says Miss Fido Manners. “Take your
dog to the office only if he is housebroken, friendly with
strangers, and remains calm in a foreign environment. Your
pooch should also be well-mannered, walking nicely on a leash
and having a training repertoire of come, sit and stay.”
Miss Fido Manners offers seven strategies on how to make
your canine a Sirius star at the work place:
-
Doggie Style - Make a favorable impression by
arriving with a healthy, clean dog that is parasite-free.
Your dog’s appearance is what makes the first real impression
when he arrives at the office. If he is clean and pleasant
smelling, it reflects that you are pet aware of those
around you.
-
Working Dogs - Be prepared for a day of pet tails.
Bring his bowls, toys, treats, bed, blanket or crate to
the office. With his favorite things around, he will not
be distracted by the corporate hubbub and will easily
settle down with some of his own pet projects.
-
Take a Doggie Break - Give him the opportunity
to eliminate and exercise at lunch time by taking him
on a long walk. This will give him the opportunity to
have a drink of water and eat one of his favorite snacks.
-
Paw-ing off Responsibility - Recognize that your
dog is your responsibility. Don’t ask your assistant,
a secretary or a junior associate to take care of your
dog for the day.
-
Dog Tricks of The Trade - When riding elevators,
meeting and greeting office personnel, place your dog
in a sit/stay. By being obedient, he will demonstrate
that he is a reliable and confident team player that can
follow direction.
-
Ruff Attitude - Although it is hard to believe,
not everyone loves dogs. Be considerate and respectful
of those who are fearful and/or allergic. If necessary,
keep your dog in your office.
-
Bark fest - If you dog become unruly, be prepared
to immediately take him home.
Charlotte is a pet expert and columnist for several magazines
including Fido Friendly Magazine where she pens the Dear Miss
Fido Manners column. As Miss Fido Manners, she is a firm believer
that “well-behaved pets are more pleasant to be around; are
treated better by everyone” get invited to more places including
restaurants, parties and the workplace.
