Sounds to me like an absolute nightmare, putting many dogs together ensures some of them won’t like each other and will create a bark fest, triggering other dogs to bark too. Dogs might be pack animals, but their pack is with its humans and it will try to protect its pack from other packs

Personally I don’t mind, but I find it problematic mostly because not everyone can be around dogs, be it because of allergies or past experiences.

I prefer they don’t. I’ve worked in places that allowed dogs, and mileage varies. Some dogs are adorable and well behaved, but then you have annoying ones. I hate trying to think how to solve something and be randomly interrupted by barking.

i hate it

Hard no for me. People feel way too entitled to bring their dogs everywhere. Your being a pet owner doesn’t mean everyone else also has to love and want to be around your dog. I’m afraid of most big dogs and if I had to routinely encounter them at work, I’d be looking for a different job. I’m also very allergic to them and despite taking allergy meds every day, I’d be miserable with dogs in a shared space I couldn’t escape.

No way. I own two, and have had to deal with too many other dog owners. 95% are flat-out delusional about their cutie smooshums.

I would find it awkward if not only my colleagues but also their pets would suddenly be in my home. I would need to wear pants and I don’t even know how everyone would fit in here. There’s not enough space.

Dogs are great. If it farts, it has to go. I will not suck dog farts at my workplace.

I hate dogs and I’m allergic on top of that.

Hell yeah I would love that. As long as it was made sure that there was no one at the workplace who is allergic or scared of dogs or something

I’m totally against pets and children at workplaces.

I am not a dog lover. I find them needy, melodramatic and hierarchical: some of the features that I try to avoid in humans.

I work in an office around one day a week which often has more dogs than humans - since one of the regular staff has two dogs. In general, however, they aren’t much of a problem. One frequently nudges people’s elbows to get attention and howls whenever a phone rings. Another gets in the way of the door an awful lot - resulting in the owner installing a child gate at an inner doorway, and another has been traumatised in the past and needs to be taken out whenever a fire alarm test is due. However, this is not more that the needs and quirks of other people, really, and is fairly easy to work around.

I am glad that I do not have to work in that office all the time, but overall it is not a big deal.

Dog owners are some of the most entitled people in the world. I swear the invention of those green dog poop bags was terrible for this planet because everyone bags the dog poop, ties it shut, and LEAVES THE BAG on trails or sidewalks or in bushes. JFC people, be responsible for your pet!

This is actually really common in Germany. Not generally in big firms, but the whole office complex where my company is based in Berlin, declares itself dog friendly and you can just bring them in.
