Set Up Your Space
Put your dog’s bed near your work area where they can see you. This makes them more comfortable and makes it easier for you to recognize when they need something, such as to go outside for a quick break or just a little attention.

Establish a Routine
A tired dog is a happy dog. Before work, start with some high-energy physical activity like fetch to burn off energy and help you stay productive when you start your workday. Take short breaks throughout the day to take your dog outside and work on short mentally stimulating exercises like hiding a treat around the house for your dog to sniff out and find. Or use the time to reinforce training, helping to keep your dog from getting bored while strengthening your connection. At lunchtime, head outside to help your pup burn off energy. Throw a frisbee, head to the dog park for socialization, or go for a walk together.
Tip: Keep your dog quiet in meetings by giving them a special treat or puzzle toy, a rubber toy smeared with dog-friendly peanut butter helps keep your dog occupied.
