Office dogs

Bringing 🐾 Pawsitivity 🐾 into the office🐶

We regularly have some tail wagging in the office when one of us brings their dog into the office. Playing and cuddling ensue, with happy faces all over the place!

Taking dogs into the office with you has a lot of benefits, which we invite with our arms open. The presence of dogs in the office has a significant calming effect by the release of oxytocin and reduction of cortisol while interacting with the dog. The playfulness of our dogs in the office reduces stress while doing difficult tasks, maintaining a positive vibe during the day and making it feel more homely and relaxed.

While having positive effects in the office, having a dog around also forces us to walk them during lunch. By going for a walk halfway through the day, we get a lot of fresh air and some physical activity, which helps counteract the sedentary work in the office. Having a walking break encourages team bonding as well, making for a more collaborative work environment.
