An employer that, at a place of work where employees may bring their own dogs during the working day, permits dogs as published policy applied consistently; does not exclude ordinary household dogs by blanket breed or size rule; provides or enables the conditions a dog needs to spend the working day safely and well; and protects the colleagues who cannot, or choose not to, share space with a dog.
The term describes a workplace where dogs are genuinely welcomed and the people around them are genuinely protected, not one that simply tolerates a dog by a manager's favour.
