Hi everyone.
Anyone take their dog to work?

Went to discover dog show last weekend excel centre.

Love to have a dog but would be left for 4.5 hours alone mon-fri.

Due to me and Mrs work.

So as title do you take your dog to work?

What breed dog have you got?

What van?

I like Boston terriers been looking at Manchester terriers and rat terriers.
Obviously something not too big.

Do you find having your dog at work goes ok with customers and also your dog.

Thanks lee.

I wouldn't dream of taking my dog to work now out of the worry of someone stealing him .

He is to highly prized to me so I won't take the risk , Some dogs will happily sleep all day others need to be occupied when left at home .

We leave ours at home whilst at work but he gets to frozen kongs filled with raw meat , keeps him busy for a few hours and tires him out a bit .

And I own one of the most destructive dogs known to man .

Nice one Matty not so bad if you have the right contracts  , Mine is a hunting/working dog breed and he would be off after a while of been out the truck i only let him out around a mates house set in its own grounds as he can wander around safely if he wanted to

Kongs are a durable rubber hollowed out toy fill them with food and freeze overnight , Mine gets his filled with mince meat as he is on a raw diet so mostly meat and bones and raw veg .

Pepsy comes with me every day now and has so for a few years.

  I have taught him to only walk on the sidewalk and only crosses the road when I say "cross"  he also waits at the back of the van until I pack up and the say "ok lets go"  before he goes on the road. 

(its quiet funny to watch as hes so well trained people see me open the door and just shout "ok lets go" and this little dog comes from the back and runs around and jumps in.... :)

this picture is from last year.

Now now lads, it's not as bad as it's made out to be............. I had set a tank up to clean panels, ( would require 300m hose if I went from the van )  tank being inside a cleaning cupboard next to sink, I had to drain the excess water in the tank so it made sense to let it run over into the stand below.......... Not on the pitch Dave  :D

Mine comes with me some days depending on where I'm working. Only trouble is she loves jumping in fish ponds and chasing cats.

Hi  Colin.
Bit undecided on jack Russell's.

My nan had one when I was a kid and I adored him, cleverest dog I ever met.

I have a few customers that have jrt and they are right little 5ods ;D

But I think a lot of breed descriptions need to be taken with a pinch of salt its how the owners train or don't train their dog.

The other problem I have is we have a guinea pig in the house he's 4 and going grey but won't give up the ghost  ;D

Most dogs little ones terriers are not keen on the small furry types :D

Thanks for your posts guys interesting reading.

No, I carry a bag of leaves and bury it under them.
