- Establish a doggy business plan. Clearly identify and post the doggy do's and don'ts for your employees. For example, adopt a "three strikes and you're out" policy aimed at dogs who don't behave.
- Provide a clean environment. Limit dogs' access to certain common areas of your office to reduce allergic reactions and prevent dogs from counter surfing and stealing someone's lunch or raiding the garbage cans.
- Embrace true dogma. Invite an animal behaviorist, veterinarian or dog trainer to give a presentation on canine manners, behavior and health issues to educate all your employees.
