A K9 behavioral specialist says dog owners working from home need to take steps today to ensure their fury friends don’t feel left behind when they return to their offices.
Before she hops on a work Zoom, operations manager, Jeanne Strutz makes sure Amy Jo and Gus are comfortable. Although the family’s black lab and Australian heeler don’t spend as many hours in their crates today as they did when she left home to work, Strutz continues to make crate time part of their daily routines.
“I’d love to let them lay by my feet and stuff like that all day, but it’s better for them to continue on down the path of consistency….being familiar with their crates, being familiar with a scheduled, not letting them get away with everything,” Strutz says.
