Remote work is better with a dog nearby until the 2 p.m. zoomies hit mid-call. A dog-friendly workspace channels energy into calm routines so you can focus while your pup feels included.
Design a Relax Zone
Place a cushy bed or mat within arm’s reach. Reward your dog for settling there with a chew or stuffed Kong. Over time, the bed becomes their default during work hours.
Schedule Micro-Breaks
Set calendar nudges for 5-minute fetch or sniff walks. Predictable outlets reduce pestering and make your meetings smoother.
Quiet Enrichment
Keep puzzle toys, lick mats, and safe chews handy. Rotate weekly to keep novelty high.
Sound Management
White noise, soft music, or closing blinds can reduce bark triggers.
With a few tweaks, your office becomes a peaceful co-working space for two.
