Workplace organiser guide
How to plan an office dog visit.
The workplace organiser settles the people, space, access, handler, consent, and welfare details before confirming a visit. This checklist names the decisions that belong in the plan and agreement.
01
Name one accountable organiser.
The workplace organiser names one contact who answers planning questions and handles day-of decisions. The organiser gives the provider the building contact, arrival instructions, and a phone number for the day.
02
Set participation and dog-free options.
The organiser tells employees before the day that participation is voluntary. The organiser sets a visit area, then identifies a route or work area that stays outside it. The organiser asks for workplace-level information about allergies, fear of dogs, and cultural comfort, without putting individual health details in a general enquiry.
03
Agree the space and access route.
The organiser confirms building permission, parking or drop-off, lift or stair access, the visit area, and the dogs' route through the building. The organiser identifies water, a quiet rest space, and the person who meets the handler on arrival.
04
Confirm handler responsibility.
The organiser asks who manages the dogs and interactions from arrival to departure. The organiser records who monitors the dogs' comfort, provides water and rest, controls the pace of interactions, and makes welfare decisions on the day.
05
Set consent and information boundaries.
The organiser uses opt-in photography and tells participants what the organiser or provider will photograph and where they will use the images. The organiser keeps planning notes at workplace level and collects only the information needed to run the visit.
06
Put the operating details in the agreement.
The organiser and provider record the contacts, arrival route, visit area, timing, participation plan, photography terms, handler responsibilities, welfare responsibilities, incident contacts, commercial terms, and change process. The organiser shares the employee-facing parts before the visit.
Provider check
Questions to ask any workplace dog-visit provider.
- Who owns planning and day-of decisions?
- Who manages the dogs from arrival to departure?
- What dog-suitability and handler-assessment records can the provider supply?
- Does the plan make participation voluntary and specify a dog-free area or route?
- Can the provider supply a current insurance certificate and policy schedule?
- What does the agreement say about access, photography, welfare, incidents, and changes?
