Pet Work Discussion

Everyday life can be stressful at times, wouldn’t it be nice to not have this stress? According to Brown, dogs can reduce stress for employees at their respective workplaces (Pets Reduce Stress

I support our decision on Bring Your Dog to Work program. I think it could be a really good idea. Especially, for those who have no pet sitters at home. It can be a real productive thing, if people took it seriously.

Another reason I believe dogs should be home instead of at the work place is the constant attention a dog needs whether it be food and water or to be brought outside. This is more time that an employee will not be working so even if that employee got more done in less time over the course of a day it probably amounts to the same amount of work a stressed employee would complete.

After reading the two responses from the employees about the "Bring Your Dog to Work" program, I belive that bringing your dog to your workplace should not be acceptable. There are many issues regaurding this idea such as; employees may be allergic to dogs, not knowing how your dog will behave around others, and the amount of attention they will need. These issues can prevent future problems.

Although, there are some dog-owning employees who may benefit from bringing their pet to work; there are some that would not. Not everyone is able to be around animals. Allergies take a enormous toll on many people. I know that being around any animal that sheds fur can make allergies flare. Which in toll, will make employees miserable at the workplace.

Dogs and other animals being allowed in the workplace has been a lingering issue in the workforce. I believe that bringing dogs/pets to work shouldn’t be allowed except in a few cases. Dogs can create a detrimental worke enviornment in many ways, and while working with pets may be beneficial for some people, on the whole those benefits don’t outweigh the detractors.

Passage one states the many benefits that bringing dogs to work can have, however this assumes that all employees are comfortable around dogs. This passage doesn't factor in the side of employees who are not comfortable being around dogs, or may be allergic to them. Although studies have proven that having dogs present reduces stress and increases job satisfaction, this may only be the case for some. A majority of Americans report to be allergic to dogs to some extent, from just a minor sniffle to an actual allergic reaction. This can cause issues in the work place and can overall decrease productivity and job satisfaction, along with introducing health risks in the work place, making it unsafe.

In today’s society kids complain to their parents saying how come we can’t take pets to school. Pets should be allowed in school because if a kid has a disability they will need some assistance in school like getting around to different classes.

I support the Bring Your Dog to Work program, and will introduce a new idea to evolve with the animal-loving group known as "millenials." As we look at our landscape, we notice more office buildings, and more high rise apartment complexes being built to house the technology industry's employees; in areas such as San Francisco, CA. These young residents are here for many reasons, one is to be in the center of technological advancement and to persue the american dream of innovation. And there are some very important friends along with them on their journey, dogs. In the millenial age group, it is becoming more popular to own a dog versus having a child and/or family, and to focus on career or personal growth. So humans adopt a dog. On a personal

I would love to bring my dog to work but, bringing your dog to work can be a hard task because dogs sometimes do what they want to do versus what you tell them. I am a dog owner and I would love to spend time with my dog all day. I can not do so because I have a job and work 12 hour shifts. Allthough I would like to bring along my dog, it would be very hard. It would be hard because certain jobs and work sights would scare dogs because of loud noises. Another reason is that most non dog oweners would not agree that dogs should be alloud in or on a job site. lastly dogs do not always listen or follow directions from thier owner.

Second, The positve thing about bringing your dog to work it takes a lot of stress off of pet owners mind knowing that they would not have to worry or rush home to check on their dogs. Some people feel like they are at home if thier dogs are in the office with them. which takes

Dogs in the workplace, is it a good addition that will help moral, or is it a bad distraction? I personally think that bringing a dog to work could help the moral and anxiety of the everyday work place, and make workers therefore even more happy and productive I'll explain my reasoning.

I personally think that dogs should stay at home. They should stay out of the workplace because they smell, are loud, and distracting.

I believe that the ability to bring your dog to work would in fact make a lot of employees happier and more satisfied at their specific job, but i don't think it's for the best in the long run.

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.
