Here’s a Paws in Work Pup Date that’s bound to melt your heart this afternoon 🐶❤️

Early this year we socialised a litter of Labradoodle’s and it’s safe to say everyone fell in love with them. We received the cutest update from Bailey (one of the pups from this litter) and his owner on what he’s been doing over the last 5 months and it was way too irresistible not to share with you.

We are super excited to learn that Bailey is a good boy (most of the time), very happy and bouncy puppy, who loves stealing shoes, off lead walk in the woods and going to puppy classes to show off his new tricks… sounds like Paws in Work taught Bailey well!

It also amazing to hear that Bailey’s puppy socialisation programme at Paws in Work really paid off, here’s a note from his paw-rent - “We think that his outings and experience with Paws in Work helped him to become a confident puppy when being handled and he always loves a cuddle and playtime!”

👉 Swipe to see a grown up Bailey loving life in his forever home.

It's National Relaxation Day and there isn't anything more relaxing you could be doing on a Thursday than puppy therapy!

Spending time sharing some fun or just quiet time with a group of gorgeous puppy visitors is:

🐶 Scientifically proven to help in dealing with anxiety

🐶 Reduces stress levels

🐶 And can even lower blood pressure!

At Paws in Work we are strong advocates of mental wellbeing and with the help of our four legged friends we encourage you to take a well-earned break from life's daily stresses, taking time to focus on your wellbeing whilst experiencing the joys of our puppy pals.

As much as our events are about helping people to take a break from their working day, at Paws in Work our priority is to ensure that the pups we work with are happy and socialising in a positive way. It’s a win-win for everyone!

Come and meet some of these paw-some pups that we’ve worked with at our puppy therapy sessions this year so far...

Do you have a litter of puppies that you want to socialise with Paws in Work?

We understand that ethical breeding comes with many costs, such as health testing, vaccinations, microchipping, C-sections and stud fees. That’s why, for every event your puppies come to we contribute a set fee to help with these costs.

Our puppy therapy sessions offer puppies benefits that last a lifetime!

🐾 The fun and positivity of a Paws in Work session give puppies brilliant social experiences that help them learn how to act around people, play with each other, and be calm in new situations. It can also significantly help the puppies make it through the first of their ‘fear periods.’

🐾 Our events are a great way for mum to gradually detach herself from the puppies prior to them leaving for their forever homes.

🐾 Our events allow our breeder partners some well-needed time away from their litter so you can focus on your mental health too.

We want to make sure at every step of the way that we deal with reputable breeders who operate ethically and who also have the wellbeing of the pups at heart as much as we do!

It's our 6th birthday today which can only mean one thing... it's time for cake! 🎂 🎉

A lot can happen in 6 years:

✔️ Dogs clock up a total of 42 human years

✔️ A 6 year old dog possess the equivalent intelligence of a 2 year old child

✔️ Paws in Work have put around 240,000 smiles on the faces of humans (and puppies)

✔️ 2 friends can go from quitting their day jobs and hosting puppy therapy events together, to founding a company that has grown a paw-some team and become the only fully licensed puppy therapy company in the UK!

Thank you to our amazing team, clients and of course, the real stars of the show - our adorable four-legged friends. Here’s to many more years of wagging tails, and happy workplaces! ❤️

Good Health IS Good Business.

The workplace is changing and having a wellbeing strategy is essential to any happy workplace!

We love bringing such joy to your offices; check out how happy the staff (and pups) were at Subsea 7 and what they had to say about their experience!

“Thank you to the Paws in Work team, we understand the huge benefits these sessions provide to the puppies. In addition the overwhelming feedback we receive from attendees and the success of the day highlights just why we do it!” - Paws in Work attendee

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 last Friday we all had a Paws in Work Wellbeing Day where we spent a fun day out together with the team 💚

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.’ For this Wellbeing Day we spent it playing arcade games over cocktails and singing karaoke... who knew some our coworker's had secret pop star talents! To save everyone the embarrassment no karaoke videos have been posted 😂

We're disrupting your feed with the cutest staff photo of the month!

Scientific studies have proven that spending time with dogs can boost morale, reduce stress and create a positive work environment.

The proof is in the pudding… Our incredible staff get the opportunity to indulge in some fur-tastic playtime with our adorable pups and you can see just how happy they are at work with our Cavapoo pups ❤️

Our puppies travel in style and most importantly safely! Puppies can be vulnerable so their safety is our number 1 priority 🚗🐕

At Paws in Work the pups are travelling with their siblings and by the end of their time with us, they associate the travel with playtime and fun which all adds to the positive reinforcing experience.

It is the Puppy Welfare teams responsibility to ensure the puppies arrive at the event space in an organised and professional manner, reducing stress for the pups, the handlers, and the clients... and our puppy prams aid in doing just this!

Caution: These photos contain 5 Labrador puppies that are too cute for the internet…

👉🐶 Swipe to meet: Peony, Lavender, Bluebell, Rose and Daisy.

Fun fact: The calm temperament, intelligence, and playfulness make Labs the ideal best friends for any dog lover. They also make great disability assistance animals, like seeing eye dogs for the blind, hearing dogs for the deaf and make the best puppy therapy dogs too (we can vouch for that!)

3,2,1 say Cockapoos! Staff Pic of The Week goes to the team for this ridiculously adorable selfie of their new fur-friends. We are a constant champion of our canine companions and always want to bark about the special bond we share with our pups ❤️

Fun fact: Because of the Cockapoo’s intelligent and friendly nature, they are often used as therapy dogs. For example, they can visit care homes, hospitals or hospices, or places like schools to give people a much-needed boost and a warm, furry shoulder to lean on. Cockapoos can also be used as service dogs in search and rescue operations or as hearing dogs for the deaf!

Thumbs up if you can relate 🫣

Puppy therapy can also cure a bad mood! With scientific studies that have proven spending time with dogs can boost morale, reduce stress and create a positive work environment.

The proof is in the pudding, check out what our attendees have said about our puppy therapy events:

💚 98% of attendees felt less stressed after having puppy therapy

💚 81% of attendees said puppy therapy helped them feel less lonely at work

It's National Best Friends Day tomorrow and there isn't a more stronger bond than with our own dogs who have been by our side through all the ups and down ❤️

To celebrate the love of our paw-some pets we’ve put together some of our favourite pet photos 👉 Swipe to take a look. We promise you won’t be disappointed.

We'd love to see photos of your best furry friends at home too, share them in the comments!
