I know of several small startup businesses (my husband works in one, and good friends in the others) which allow people to bring their dogs in. This results in a fair amount of doggy-ness (barking, begging and general dominance scuffing) that occurs on a regular basis. Most of the people who work there consider it a job perk because they like dogs. Those who don't like dogs either leave or find a way to keep the dogs out. | |

It's largely similar to taking to colleagues, listening to music, dressing casual etc. in that it bothers some more than others, and it's down to the employer and how they set the office policies. A LOT of dogs are actually quite well behaved, and will quite happily curl up in the corner an snooze all day, as I find when I work from home (with my dog sat next to me). | |

Then it'll sleep happily in the corner at best, and you get to play with it any time you want a break from work with management happy to see you not working!! I can't think of a downside here :-) | |
