Wyoming, Take Your Dog to Work Day June 24

Starting some 40,000 years ago, relationships developed between man and beast. Dogs were brought into working relationships that include “hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship service for handicapped individuals” according to Wikipedia.

Dogs are used to working, but these days they sit at home while their humans go to work. But THEY CAN HELP YOU AT WORK. And that’s the point of Friday, June 24 being “Take Your Dog To Work Day®” from Pet Sitters International.

Companies that let workers bring their dogs to work benefit by attracting great talent, having happier, less stressed and more productive workers.

SKOUT has been dog-friendly for years and offers five tips to bring your dog to work.

1. Get it approved.Just because others bring their dogs in, does not mean it is a free for all

2, Don't delegate. As the dog owner you are 100% responsible, 100% of the time for your pet.

3. Bring on the goodies!People enjoy snacks and games in the break room, so do your dogs.
4. Remember doggie hygiene.The only thing worse than a smelly coworker is a smelly dog
5. Remember breakfast is the most important meal of the day, for your dog, too! Feed your dog before going to work.

With all dogs do for the workplace, maybe you should be sure to stop by payroll….
