Reboot Wellness @ WORK

Deskside Doggies

Research shows that having dogs in the office lowers anxiety in employees and increases efficiency. Bringing Bailey to work? Play by the rules with these pet peeves:

1. Coworkers start sneezing

First, check that no one is seriously allergic. Then, to reduce allergens, give your dog a bath before bringing them in.

2. Your conference call is interrupted

Leave chatty (as well as anxious or aggressive) dogs at home. If your pup needs a manners brush-up, consider some extra training.

3. Your boss trips over a squeaky toy

Keep toys and water bowls out of high-traffic areas and use a short leash to reduce the chance of someone falling over the cord.
