Do you scoop up after your dog?

I agree you really can't be complaining about other people if you don't even scoop yourself. It's hipocritical to complain and then let your dog poop and not clean it. Some people just don't understand common curtesy.

Having a pet service come and clean up your yard would be great! Although I do have a Chihuahua so I don't think it would be worth the money for me.

You can get a baggie dispenser that attaches to the leash now. They only cost a couple of dollars at the pet stores and they sometimes even have them a dollar stores. It takes out that having to remember factor for me.

I have the same baggie dispenser on my leash. It makes it even easier to clean up after my dogs.

Haha.... this is a good idea actually...just to stick it anywhere on there property would be hilarious. I just might consider doing it. Family can only hold a grudge for so long but it definetly let them know to keep their dogs chained up in their own yard!

Thank you for responding. My neighbors aren't that close to me. I have about four or five acres, maybe more, and my dog doesn't get that far away from home. I don't have this to worry about. My neighbors have never complained to me, anyway. I would much rather that she poop outside than in the house anytime. If she does it in the house, if it's not on the wee wee pad, I get upset. My yard is so big, I don't know if I could find all the poop. This is a good suggestion, though. Kathy.

I live in the country too, but we clean up the dog poo, just not in the winter because we can't find it with all the snow blowing in from the fields but by spring it has fertilized the grass nicely. Over the spring, summer and fall we scoop it and throw it into the field. The neighbours (which is family) let their dogs come and dirty in my yard and it gets on my last nerves, they figure its the country and they don't care... I already have to smell crap spread in the fields, the last thing I want is to smell dog crap, or someone elses dog crap.

Your suppose to scoop out of respect for the property of others. It's a basic curtesy and the responsible thing to do. Would you like it if other people let their dogs poop on your lawn and left it there for you to step in?

That's nasty. If your toilet was out of service and you had company over, would you go squat in your neighbours yard and NOT pick it up since it's fertilizer?
