Paws in Work

As the saying goes, “do what you ❤️ and you’ll never work a day in your life.” 🐕 It wouldn’t be the best job ever if our staff didn’t get some puppy playtime too! We get to see firsthand the impact that our socialisation programme has on the puppies, giving them the best start to life as possible and helping them become confident adult dogs! Sometimes what you need to get through Monday is a little cuddle from our fur friends. It’s a guaranteed mood lifter that will put a smile on your face.

How would you describe your perfect day at work? The answer is simple: With Dachshund puppies named after sweet treats! Meet Skittles, Starburst, Drumstick and Fruit Salad... It was love at first sausage for all of our clients 🐶❤️ There’s nothing more rewarding than watching the puppies we work with grow into confident, happy, healthy dogs. We love supporting them to pass their puppy ‘pawbation’ ready for their new homes. There are also great benefits for the humans too! Did you know interacting with a therapy dog has been found to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and even decrease your heart rate and blood pressure?

You might feel emotionally worn out, but how can you really tell? Swipe to find out 👉 It's almost the end of the year and it's been a busy one! It's important to remember that mental health is just like physical health: everybody has it and we need to take care of it. The quicker you can identify your mental health isn't quite right, the quicker you can make room for self-care, have some “downtime” and get support 💚

Everyone meet our little puppy DJ in training, learning all the tunes and also getting socialised to new sounds on the keyboard as part of our socialisation programme during our puppy therapy event 🐾🎹 Exposing puppies to different sounds such as music helps the pups grow into calm, confident, and well-adjusted dogs. Early sound socialisation is key to reducing fear and anxiety in new environments, making them more resilient in all sorts of situations. But it’s not just the pups who benefit! Puppy therapy can lower stress, boost mood, and bring smiles to everyone involved. Do you want to enjoy some puppy cuddles? Enquire here - https://bit.ly/3ZWaDqS

Our mission is to create a better life for people and pups, and that also extends to the Paws in Work staff. That’s why today we are all taking a Wellbeing Day to ourselves to switch off and do something that makes us happy 💚 We dedicate one day a quarter where our offices are closed, there are no puppy therapy events and mental health training and we put our out-of-offices on. We all have incredibly busy work schedules so this time allows us to put time aside to take a well deserved break and look after our own wellbeing. Everyone’s mental health is different, and there is no blanket wellbeing ‘activity’, that’s why we leave it up to our employees to do whatever they want - whether that is going for a 10k run, going to the hair dressers, or spending the day on the sofa with your favourite book and fluffy companion!

While a significant number of employees continue remote and hybrid work, two-thirds of CEOs anticipate a return to full-time office presence in the next 3 years. Establishing an inviting office environment for staff can help ease this transition and encourage those staff to return to work. Our puppy therapy events are the perfect way to reintroduce workers to the office in a fun and unique way. Take a look for yourself with a throwback from our pals at 22 Bishopsgate. Are you looking for an event to guarantee office attendance? Look no further and enquire in to your puppy therapy session, we’d be happy to help - https://bit.ly/3ZWaDqS

Happy National Boss Day! Today, we’re celebrating our top dog Ashley Fry Founder & CEO at Paws in Work who traded in his office chair for puppy cuddles 🐶💼 Ashley left his corporate job to create Paws in Work, where he could follow his passion for bringing joy to both humans and pups. Now, he's the ultimate boss in puppy therapy, helping stressed professionals unwind and giving puppies the vital socialisation they need before heading to their forever homes. 6 years later... Paws in Work (and our four-legged friends) have built a phenomenal team of puppy passionate humans, leading by example in employee wellbeing!

Do you wish you could celebrate your Pug on more days than just its birthday? Well, great news, you can... Today is National Pug Day! 🐕 ❤️ We're honouring the breed that makes us all laugh and smile at our puppy therapy events and to celebrate we've put together some of our favourite photos of the Pug's we've had the opportunity to socialise (you can thank us later).
