I bringing my dogs into work a few times a month. I even have a dog bed and dog toys in my office. My boss is really good about it but I don't advertise when I bring them in, they just hang out in my office and half the time my co-workers don't even know when they are in :-)

I work at home, so yes! I bring my dog to work! It's good and bad...I get lots of time for all of my dogs, but the new pup is getting a little too attached, I think. Major separation anxiety, even without me coddling him at all. Flattering, but annoying when you have to take a shower!!
In the summer I help out a friend that owns a whale watch company and my Corgi came to work on the pier with me. It was GREAT socialization for a pup. Tons of tourists, and the ferry to Boston let on and off there. There wasn't anything that Corgi hadn't seen by the time the season was over. Now he's majorly social. Wouldn't work for a PPD, but it was great for my house dog.

I am payroll manager for our Contracting Business. My Dutch/Mal cross goes to work with me everyday and he loves it since he is TOY CRAZY and everyone that comes in is a new VICTIM about throwing the toy. Throw it once and your stuck. It is really funny because the guys throw it and instead of going through the door to go around into the main part of the office, Roch just jumps the counters and it surprises the crap out of them. The Lab, the other Mali and the Bloodhound all take turns coming in once or twice a week for visits to the Nursing Home, Story Time at the Library and the Grade School. Yep, we had to change the office around to make room for a couple of crates. I love it and the dogs love it also.

I used to bring Remi in (I also work in IT, but I am the boss) when he was learning manners and getting socialized under my control. He actually learned to navigate the wires in the room fairly well. I taught him the "wait" command fairly early (which for me means no more forward movement) so when he would walk through wires I would give the commands and then get him out of the mess before he took down equipment. He then figured out it was easier to avoid the wires altogether. I took him to work every day for the first 4 months or so, now he stays at home with my husband most of the time. I still bring him in on occassion. It's a good mental break for the team.
