🏢 Tips for First-Timers
✅ Test for temperament: Not all dogs are cut out for cubicles—make sure yours is comfortable in new settings.
✅ Start slow: Try a half day if your pup’s new to the office.
✅ Ask before visiting: Be respectful of coworkers with allergies, fears, or other pets.
✅ Respect the space: Clean up accidents right away and keep barking to a minimum.
