Any headline with 'dog' in it grabs my attention. In this case, I couldn't agree more -- had 1 or more dogs at TeachStreet for many years, and I know it kept things more casual and low(er) stress. As one of the key dog-owners, though, I do admit that the need to take them out a few times per day can turn into a bit of a distraction, especially if you finally get in the zone and then have to break it up -- I know everyone says that it's good to walk/relax, but I'm not sure they're the ones who are supposed to be running the show. Anyway, love the article.
Totally agree on the more casual and low(er) stress. I've found that working in an office with a lot of dogs really keeps things mellow...I've, literally, never seen anybody lose there cool and I attribute that to the dogs. It's just hard to get wound up and bend out of shape about something with these amazing, adorable creatures around!
