Should Dogs Be Allowed In The Workplace

Employees bringing their pet dog to work is a very controversial topic. An abundance of people support this idea, because they feel they would be more productive, happier, more relaxed, and less stressed. However, many people feel like bringing dogs into the workplaces only causes problem such as, allergies, behavioral episodes, and any fearful mindsets the employees may have. I feel like dogs, while they bring many great qualities to anywhere they go, should not be allowed into a work area unless need-be.

I am quite the animal lover and I believe this idea should be well thought over. Not everyone would agree with this idea to have your dog in the work place do to alergies or they could even be afraid of your dog. To help

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."

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.

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.

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.

I think alot of people do believe that takeing there animal with them to work is are would be a good idea and would improve there workplace,but i don't think a bring your dog to work program is a good idea. My first reason is not all people can be around dogs are anyother animals due to allergy's. Some people are also affraid of dogs because they have had a bad experience with a dog mabe had one bit them are worse. Dogs at work with you would more than likely cause alot of stress mental and possibly physical as well because they get to trying to play are something and knock things over causeing damage to office equipment. I also believe dogs are unsanitary and spread germs by licking those around them.

The first article "In Support of Bringing Dogs to Work" discuses about the productivity of bieng able to bring our dogs.The office can be very stressful,and having our dogs will make us feel less stressed and anxious. Some people may even feel that their dogs are a part of them that they are leaving behined.Dogs also help us feel more calm and relaxed.Being able to bing our dogs is a very great idea.

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.

Pets being in a work place will work if all of your employees agree apon it. I have had pets for 12 years and it britens my day eveytime i see them in a relaxing way. If pets were aloud in the work area it would most likey make the worker feel more comfortable being at work. I agree with "In support of bringing dogs to work" because employees would feel safer at work and my comfortable

I believe it is a good idea and bad idea. On the topic of bringing your dog to work, would help some employees not being too stress out. It can help them focus on their work, and not worry about if their dog is ok at home. Employees might even be willing to take longer hours because their dog is with them. When an employee is getting to stress or having anxiety, they can pet their dog or take a five minute walk. So I think it would be a good idea in some workplaces.

I disagree with being able to bring your dog to work beacuse it would be to much stress on your self to focus on your job and a dog.What are you going to do if your dog bits someone at work?Your going to loose your job and possible your dog. Its just a big hastle to do that.Wouldnt it just be easier to keep your dog at home where it belongs.

In Support of bringing dogs to work, i do not agree because dogs can be messy, also some people dont like don't like dogs, and most people are allergic.

I do not belive that dogs should be allowed in the workplace as a perminate policy. Although dogs in the work place may cause some improvements the decline in workers progress will be determental.
