Pick up dog poop...

I personally think that dog owners should pick up the poop. I live in a big city too and a lot of these people in my neighborhood do get the newspaper. I say they should use the sleeve the newspaper for picking up the poop, tying it up and trash it. Why leave it on the ground where someone can get it on their shoes. I have seen poop on the sidewalk and in the grass. Now there is snow on the ground so I really got to look down and be careful where I step. It gets on my nerves.

Hi Java09 . I live in a small city and there is a fine for not cleaning it up. However, it still happens and the law is not often enforced to my knowledge. People walking their dogs by our house seem to have respect. However, there are stray dogs around here.

nooo where i live you have to pick up the poop the fin is up to $350 witch make me so happy cause i dont like to see dog sh.. where i go .. you are right that is so rude of them to leave it on other peoples property like that .. how would they like it if someone did the same thing for them ..

There is a problem like this all over. People want a pet, instead of doing the poop in their own yard they sooner let it happen in yours. They also train their dog the same way, to be inconsiderate and uncaring.Their home might be the same as the poop.. When u find people like this pick up the poop, follow this a@$!$$ to their residents and drop it in their mail box or mail slot... As far as the training part, they might just take kindly to your actions and pick up , train their pet and take care of them properly. REMEMBER ALWAYS LUV/ CARE FOR YOUR DOG/ PET, THEY WILL ALWAYS LUV U..

Of course I pick it up, and would expect others to do the same really. I always complain when I see dog mess on the floor and am annoyed at people who neglect it, so me not cleaning up the mess of my dog would be very hypocritical. It's disgusting and has no need to be left on the ground (unless your only means of picking it up is with your bare hands, then I may be more forgiving).

There are no fines like that or any law for that matter in where I live. Stray dogs are common in our country. But in my neighborhood, our neighbors from the house across let their dogs out in the morning where in they poop and pee in our front lawn or right on the road in front where we could step on it. We keep a dog in our house as well, but we let it poop in our backyard and do not let it out alone in the streets. We just had enough of it so we reprimanded them to be responsible with their pets.

I live across the street from a public commons where everyone in the city walks their dogs. I've noticed it's about half and half. Some people pick it up and put it in the trash and some don't. You are right....leaving it there is rude.

Hello! We have a law in my country according to which you have to pick it up in a baggie so I always pick it up not to pay penalty. Sometimes when it is very cold and lots of snow and if noone sees then I don't collect it. But I never leave it where people see it...I agree with you it's kinda rude. Happy mylotting!

Hello, If I see someone does this to my lawn then I will take action right the way... why dont you ask them to pick up their dog poops... to see what they have to say? if they refuse then I will pick up those poops and follow them home and leave it in front of their lawn :) lhahahha... hope they dont feel the same way I felt though

In my neighborhood I never really see that happen. That does sound extremely rude though, and I think that if a person is going to walk there dog, then they should put a plastic bag in their pocket before they leave the house. That way they can be prepared for if their dog does poop. If somehow the person forgot to bring a bag though, they should at least have enough respect to go back home, get a bag, and then come back and pick it up. You should definitely point it out to one of these people if their dog keeps doing it and they never pick it up. That is really rude, especially if you don't own a dog yourself. It just gives you a chore that you shouldn't have to do.

Check with your county or city office, I bet you will find that it is an ordance where you are that people must clean up after their dogs. Other dogs come in my yard and poop but can't really say much becuase I live in the country and people let their dogs roam so we never really know whose dog did the duty. But as for my little dog she does her duty in our yard only and it is so small that it disappers in less than two days.
