June 25, 2010 is this year's Take Your Dog to Work Day. In order to assist Pet Sitters International in promoting a successful event, the APDT has provided training tips to help dog owners prepare their dog for their day at the office!

Visit the event web site, www.takeyourdog.com for more details, to download their Action Kit, and to participate in the annual fun photo contest!

First celebrated in 1999, Take Your Dog To Work Day was created to celebrate the great companions dogs make and to encourage their adoption from humane societies, animal shelters and breed rescue clubs. This annual event asks pet lovers to celebrate the humane-canine bond and promote pet adoption by encouraging their employers to support TYDTWDay by opening their workplace to employees’ four-legged friends on this one special day.
