[QUOTE="donna723, post: 530452, member: 1883"] I have no problem with dogs being in a workplace as long as they don't cause problems but it sounds like this one DOES. Even without the allergy thing, if a dog is going to be in the workplace, it should be well trained and well behaved and it doesn't sound like this one is! And they should be crated when it's not appropriate for them to be running around the office. As most of you know, I have my own little herd of three Bostons, that I absolutely adore. Then tend to be very active, hyper little dogs, the clowns of the dog world, and maybe a little much to have in an office every day. They also demand a lot of attention. I don't know how I would have ever gotten anything done if I had one of my dogs at work with me! And usually Bostons aren't too bad for people with allergies because they don't have that fuzzy undercoat that tends to float through the air. Each individual little hair, when it falls out, resembles an eyelash. And they don't ordinarily shed that much ... if they do, something is wrong and a trip to the vet may be in order. My bigger fuzzy mixed breed dog regularly goes in to a shedding frenzy twice a year and must be brushed and brushed but the Bostons don't do that. If the dog is stirring up a lot of dander, bathing it once a week in a medicated shampoo from the vet may be helpful because that's not normal for a Boston. With mine, I've found that the only time they really shed a lot of hair is when they become very excited or very stressed, like from a trip to the vet. The dog may not be as happy being at work as she thinks it is and is probably running on overload all the time - not hard for a hyper Boston. Bostons can very easily work themselves into a frenzy! If this dog is not crate trained, it should be. It could be crated in her office for when it's not appropriate for it to be running around, and the crate can be it's little hiding spot to get away from it all and to calm down and decompress a little.
