    So I took Yalom to the office for the first time today, and I'm pleased to say it went surprisingly well! He came to a meeting and stayed laid under the table the whole time with no whining or barking (with the help of some tasty reinforcement) and aside from that chilled in his travel crate next to my desk, had all his food from kongs and training, and enjoyed a few little socialisation trips around campus and to the cafe. Also a whole lot of fuss from everyone at uni! He whined a little in his crate, but thankfully everyone in the office was wearing headphones so I could let him whine it out. Also, no indoor accidents (yay!)

    I'll try and post some photos later when I work out how to do that :)

    Great to hear. I wish Mango was that chilled. He is more on the hyperactive side....

    It does definitely make things easier. @Mango - he definitely isn't chilled all the time! I expect meeting new people and places tired him out so he was more amenable to sleeps in his crate. I still got bitten quite alot through the day though!

    Great new RuthElizabeth... for some reason buddy is really good at work as well. I don’t know if it’s all the goings on, or less socks to chew etc ha ha, but he is much better than at home. He seems to thrive on all the noise and actually sleeps better during the day than when we get home. He seems to carry on through till bedtime when we get home without really napping.

    So pleased for you, all my dog owner friends are very envious of me being able to take buddy to work!
