Bringing Dogs To Work

Deciding whether or not I should agree with dogs being allowed in our work place was very tricky for me. I appreciate your desire to make sure every employee feels comfortable and stress-free at work. Also, I adore dogs and would love to able to have my furry-friend alongside me all day long. However, after looking at the pro's and con's, I'd have to say I do not agree with this idea.

According to the article, Tony Treanor, NCSS’s director of Human Resources was granted the opportunity of putting in place a new policy on dogs in the workplace. With

I, along with the author of, "Against Bringing Dogs to Work," believe that dogs should not be allowed in the workplace because they can be a distraction or harm other employees or property.

I believe letting your employees bring their dogs to work is a great way to boost their motivation and work ethic.

Historically dogs have served many purposes for humans. They have been used for hunting rodents, disposing of pesky rodents, fighting wars, protecting people as well as valuables, and tending to livestock (Staats et al, 2008). In today’s American society, dogs have become a first option to serve as companions and new additions to families. However, that is not the only purpose that canines serve. Dogs can also be of assistance to people with disabilities, military and police services, and therapeutic practices as well as a companion. To accommodate to the growing demand for pet or service dogs, it has become increasingly easier to buy or adopt them. There are now many options of how to obtain a dog. There are options such as breeders, Petland,

Next, you need to think about your co-workers and your enviroment. in the work place the dog may become a distraction and lead to less working and more play. in the, "in support of bringing dogs to work" paragraph he states. researchers have found that when pet owners interact with their dogs, they experience a sense of well-being and feel less stress and anxiety."

In certain work places i do belive dogs can be a positive energy and a relaxing company to have around the work place. In my own experiance at school some of the teachers bring theyre dogs to work, the dogs are very quiet and nice which helps me feel relaxed and able to reduce stress in the classroom. Another reason i am in support of the bring your dog to work program is beacause, in the article it states that theyre are studies showing that bringing your dog to work can increase the work productivity and workers have a sense of relaxation also more people experience a sense of well

The goals and desired outcomes of the Facebook “Dogs In The Workplace Agreement” is to develop a comprehensive pet policy that leaves no room for interpretation on rules and regulations. Creating a less stressful work environment by boosting employee morale can create a win-win situation for both dog-lovers and non-pet owners. Allowing dogs in the workplace will provide employees with many business-enhancing benefits, which include emotional support, improved morale, reduced stress levels, enhanced job performance and productivity, promotes teamwork and greater employee satisfaction (American Humane Association). Dr. Becker from the Mercola Healthy Pets, states that research shows how interacting with pets can lower stress levels, and boost

I believe that having dogs in a work place may be more of a nuisance than a benefit. Not all dogs are behaved well or responnd well to new enviornments. Also some people are allergic to dogs which would cause a whole new hassle of it's own because though some people may be less stressed the people with allergies suffer the whole time at work.

I believe that if dogs were to be allowed into the workplace it would create a huge liability for the company as well as the owner. In the Against Bringing Dogs to Work opinion letter they state that many Americans are allergic to dogs and some people are even affraid of dogs due to previous negative encounters with them.

Personally, I like dogs and currently have two living in my home. However, that does not mean that i would just love to have them in my workplace. My job consist of other employees that or in the office alone with me that I have to also consider upon making this decision. My co-workers may be allergic to dogs. However, some may just be terrified of dogs. I don't think that having them to submit to being in the presents of dogs on the job would be professional.

For example, the person that supports it says that pet owners that have alot of stress and anxiety can feel less of that, when their dog is with them.One wouldn't mind working later hours if they had their dog with them. This person believes that the workplace will increase with satisfaction and productivity having their dog with them. When emloyees are happy there are higher job satisfaction.

Some people like dogs. But there are the people who don't. Due to them not liking dogs they will be unsatified with the workplace. If they are unsatisfied they will either make complaints or worse quit their job. This is another reason why dogs should not be allowed

When pet owners interact with thier dogs, they feel less stressed out, and comfortable. Work can be pretty stressful, especially when you have all this work to do. To much stress can cause health problems, which leads to workers taking sick days. So now you have less people being able to show up to work. This is why I support the bring your dog to work program. If employees are able to bring thier dogs then thier more than likely to work extra, and get things done in a reasonable time.

My first reason for supporting the idea of bringing your dog to work is it helps to reduce stress levels and it also helps to reduce anxiety. If an employee is stressed out at work he or she might not perform as well as they could if they werent stressed. Also dogs help provide comfort when the employee has anxiety and will help calm them down.
