When I used to have my own business and employed a couple of staff I used to take Corrie, my then black lab to work with me.  He used to curl up on his chair and go to sleep but always used to wake up to greet clients.  Infact it did get to the point where clients used to just pop in to see Corrie!

I am allergic to animal fur but have always said I would always rather take antihistamine rather than sacrifice my love of animals.  Luckily the staff I employed loved Corrie and were not bothered about him being in the office, if they had been I wouldn't have taken him to work with me. 

The company I work for now I wouldn't bring a dog in, infact my boss wouldn't let any of us bring one in.  The office is open plan and some people in the office are not doggie people at all.

As for a dogs behaviour in an office - thats all down to training, Corrie wouldn't dare bark at people coming into the office he also knew after time which clients he could go up to for a cuddle or attention and which ones to ignore lol.  He also knew that when I said bed I meant it! But if someone came into the office that he didn't know he was straight off his chair to be at my side.
