Pet products need to be durable to be good, dogs are aggressive and violent with toys at times. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873767662 2021-11-08 01:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873767662 A3. Having someone to take care of the dog when owner is away can relieve some of the worries of leaving the dog. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873768415 2021-11-08 01:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873768415 A4. Photographs are good at reminding the owner of the dog and coping with feelings of missing the dog. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873768961 2021-11-08 01:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873768961 A6. The dog is excited to see the owner when the owner comes back from work. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873770274 2021-11-08 01:59:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873770274 A7. The dog seems to have the best time when playing with the owner. It is its favorite activity. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873777056 2021-11-08 02:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873777056 A8. The dog seems to be the least happy when it is left alone and the owners are too busy. Human interaction seems to be a driving factor in the dog's happiness. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873779626 2021-11-08 02:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873779626 A9. The things that the owner dislikes the least about pets is cleaning up after the pet, and if the pet disturbs them during work jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873786084 2021-11-08 02:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873786084 A10. Fear of separation mainly comes when having to leave the dog for a time period greater than a day. If owner sees the dog daily, there is not much fear of separation for the owner. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873833638 2021-11-08 02:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873833638 B1. Got used to spending a lot of time with dog at home during WFH period. Now, misses dog since owner spends a lot less time with the dog. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873895442 2021-11-08 02:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873895442 B2. Dog feels the saddest when there is a lack of care -- eg. Not being fed or played with and the dog is hungry. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873896513 2021-11-08 02:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873896513 B3. Pet products (pet camera, photos) that are meant to help owners interact with pets at work seem to be effective -- not too time consuming to look at pet, and gives peace of mind. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873898368 2021-11-08 02:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873898368 B4. Owner can worry about leaving dog alone for extended periods of time -- health issues, and if the house will be fine, etc. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873924581 2021-11-08 03:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873924581 B5. Trust is one of the most important factors in determining pet products and dog sitters -- needs to be reputable, wants the best for pet. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873926061 2021-11-08 03:10:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873926061 B6. Owner got the dog around the time when the pandemic started to keep company when isolating jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873927308 2021-11-08 03:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873927308 B7. Some dog owners are not aware of separation anxiety in dogs or do not view it as a potential issue jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873928371 2021-11-08 03:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873928371 B8. One of the main drawbacks during WFH was the dog being disruptive during working hours and virtual meetings jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873931041 2021-11-08 03:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873931041 B9. A product that allows dog interactions virtually so the owner and dog doesn't feel too lonely is desirable jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873932620 2021-11-08 03:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873932620 B10. Owners are willing to spend a lot of money on pets, as long as its worth it and trustworthy. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873933929 2021-11-08 03:13:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1873933929 C1. Does not know a lot about other pet products and the competitive advantages. There seems to be a lack of information in this market. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874121196 2021-11-08 04:52:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874121196 C2. Thinks of dog as his best friend, especially since it was the only thing keeping him company during the pandemic. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874121702 2021-11-08 04:52:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874121702 C3. Now has to prepare to train dog to sit still and quietly in preparation of taking the dog to office. Maybe a product here could be helpful. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874165439 2021-11-08 05:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874165439 C4. Will not have as much time to play and interact with the dog once the dog is brought to office -- not enough space and fear of disturbing coworkers. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874166190 2021-11-08 05:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874166190 C5. One of the problems with existing pet toys is it gets wet and soaked with dog's saliva, inconvenient to clean up. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874169876 2021-11-08 05:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874169876 C6. Being the sole coretaker of the dog helped improve his relationship with the dog. Allows for a unique and special bond. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874174291 2021-11-08 05:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874174291 C7. Being able to bring the dog to work can prevent some concerns and worries about transitioning from WFH to in person. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874175685 2021-11-08 05:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874175685 C8. Has had no previous issues with separation anxiety before. Seems to not be aware of the symptoms. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874188995 2021-11-08 05:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874188995 C9. From observation, some pet toys are inefficient to use indoors because of fear of breaking furniture and limited space. Especially for toys that are thrown. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874196830 2021-11-08 05:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874196830 C10. Having access to office facilities can alleviate some burden of having to purchase pet products for the pet, can use office supplies. jzein https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874199757 2021-11-08 05:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jzein/3di9b4t2g7hwcnoj/wish/1874199757
