I know this has been done to death on here but I met a new type yesterday, after being rude to us because our dog dared to play with their gang of dogs and then shooing him away back to us.
They walked along the beach and when their dogs pooed they bagged it up but then left it on the beach, they then watched and said nothing when we picked it up and put it in a bin which was less than 20 metres away!!
So instead of leaving the poo on the beach which is horrible but would eventually be washed away they bag it up in a plastic bag so it stays there for god knows how long, anyone get the reasoning behind it?
  We've also seen full poo bags tied to trees for the poo fairies to pick up perhaps?

Only when the wind is in the right direction

its your fault for being so quick, I clicked on the edit button really quickly but not quickly enough for you two obviously, I couldn't decide what annoyed me most little cliques (spelling) that form in parks and on beaches or the poo bit and changed my mind at the last minute.

p.s Sorry for any offence caused on this magnificent day

We must have the same dog walkers around here :( Little poo bags tied to the hedgerow :(

Daisy

I must get some funny looks when I'm out.  If I take the dogs in the car somewhere to go for a walk and there aren't any red bins to dispose of the poo bags I tie them to the tow hook on the back of the car or thread them through the rear wiper blade to take them home without ponging out the inside of the car :)

:D lol !!!

Have done the same thing :D But have stopped doing after I turned the wipers on and threw the poo bag onto the pavement - fortunately, no-one was around :D

Daisy

Also have left them on top of the car when parked at agility and then forgotten and driven off leaving them to fall off :D

We went down to the New Forest for the weekend last month.  When Barney did a poo I automatically got out my scented nappy sack and picked it up.  Passers-by told me to leave it, as "one more poo in the Forest wouldn't really matter".  It hadn't occured to me to leave it, i couldn't, we walked for miles but eventually I found a bin.

This is not something i do, but i do know people who leave their poohs bagged for collection when they return instead of lugging it all the way around!

I always pick it up.  I hate it when my kids walk through it, so I always do my bit to prevent it.  Does have a down side to it though when you have 3 gsd's and you have to carry 3 bags full of poo around.  I get some funny looks I can tell you!

Ive seen exactly the same thing! (People tying bags and then leaving them) My friend lives near epsom downs and walks her dog there but doesn't clean up the mess. I asked her why and she said that they dont have too as once a year people come and pick it up! Somehow I didn't believe that someone's sole purpose in life is to go around picking dog poo up once a year! And also there is a waste land near where I live FULL of dog mess! NO ONE picks it up! Ive decided not to walk there as I keep stepping in the poo! YUK!

Even before we saw them doing that they had annoyed the hell out of us by telling us to put our whippet on a lead until they had finished letting their dogs play.
It was so sad as they had a young retriever who none of the other dogs would play with who was having a great time chasing our whippet until they shooed him off and had their quiet word with us.
Then they left bags of poo all over the beach!! as you can see they annoyed me a bit.

Steve

We have poo bags in trees and hedges BUT its NOT the doggy people.  Its the teenage kids (unfortantly my age!!!! :( ) who are doing it, they have throwen out bags all around and also set light to the "red bins" :(

Its sometimes embarising to say I am the same age as them :( just I have growen up (in some ways!! ;) )

A couple of years a go a lady was mugged in our local park for her bag of 'shopping'.......she had the last laugh though....it wasn't 'shopping' in her carrier bag but.......a full poo bag :D 

Like it!  Bet he (presume it was, not being sexist or anything!!) got quite a shock when he opened the bag!!

Sarah.

Half of our local beach is "doggy friendly" unfortunatly one of the poo bins is now buried totally by sand! very helpful!!!

Whilst out walking our ess yesterday, carrying the obligatory bag of poo, it crossed my mind that I could use it as a weapon!!  Irritating isn't it that you do your bit and clean up after your dog, and get people tutting as they walk past you doing it ... what's the other option, to leave it there?

Hiya
Youve hit on my favourite subject for a moan here lol. I live next to the local dog walking fields, at the side of our garden there is a ditch where the rainwater from the fields runs into. We have a hedge our side of the ditch & there is the hedge by the field so at least the bags cant get chucked straight into our garden. I find it disgusting that people can bag poo up but then just chuck it in the hedge, how would they like it if I chucked Dylans poo next to their gardens!! Every so often we have to go into the ditch & clear up the bags can you imagine how disgusting that is. I scared some old woman half to death once, Id seen her every morning at about 7am chucking bags into the ditch, so I lay in wait....she couldnt see me & just chucked the bag as normal, I gave her a right mouthful, not seen her since lolol

Hi all

No one round here even bags their dog poo. which is really annoying and it stinks to high heaven. My kids cant even cross the road to shop shop without stepping into poo.

We use nappy sacks to bag Buffy's as it hinds the smell a bit, and if there isn't a bin around to put it in it goes in my coat pocket untill we pass one. Disgusting i know but better than the looks i get if seen carring a bag of poo around, alos if my kids carry it they end up having poo fights and i would hate for the bag to split. lol

POO MAKES ME ANGRY TOO GUYS ~ it's such a simple little task to pick it up & pop it in a bin.
One day I was in the park with my children & a lady was walking her terrier around the lake. It did a poo just before we got to her, she was looking in the other direction as she walked by (lots of people think if they look the other way it looks like they can't see - yeah right) I said "are you going to leave that there for my children to tread in?" She ignored me ~ so I said "excuse me I'm talking to you ~ are you leaving your dog mess for my children or someone elses to stand in - do you want a bag?" & she was chuntering on at me like I'd just abused her!!   SO ANNOYING.
needless to say the poo was picked up in my bag & yes you guessed it....... by me.
I was so mad I wanted to leave it there but I knew within hours it would be on someones shoe & someones mom or dad would be scraping it off. :(

I was walking my 2 kids and 2 dogs to school (ok, wish I could send the dogs to school as well, but they just came for the walk!!! LOL)
I have to walk up the lane beside the school and leave Gemma and Beano with my eldest while I take my youngest in.
This one day, I had to stop at the bottom of the lane while a car came down. As soon as it had gone, I walked the dogs and kids up the l;ane. deposited said children,and walked back down. Saw a pile(well, more like a trail) of poo at the bottom of the lane a thought how disgusting it was. Started walking off, and the women that watches the kids in, came up to me and asked if I had a bag and if I hadnt they had some, as my dog had poohed. I nearly died. I prceeded in pulling out a handfull of nappie bags, and told he I hadnt seen him do it. Which she agreed I was looking the other way and didnt. But I felt soooo guilty!!!!!!!!!!! It didnt help that I hadnt had Beano long, so hadnt got used to his 'way'!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lea :)

Also---------- I went to work, in a bad mood. Parked the car outside mums and this guy was walking his dog on the grass the other side of the road. His dog decided to pooh, and he didnt pick it up.
I shouted acrposs the road to him saying are you going to pick it up, he said no, I said kids can walk in that. He said I thought there was a path there. Told him he should pick it up. He didnt and walked off.
" days later I saw him again carrying a 'full' bag!!!!!!!!!! Since seen him picking it up. BUT, I have a suspicion that its only when the dog does it outside my parents house as he is scared of me!!!!!!!!!!!
Although, would like to think that I have made a difference!!!!!!!!
Afraid that day, he got the brunt of my anger. If I see him not pick it up again, I will warn him that Its against the law, and I will call the police next time!!!!!!!
LEa :)

For weeks we had a 'deposit' at the bottom of our drive, whic I cleaned up and sprayed away.  Then I decided to watch. Along cam a guy who walked his dog and stopped at the bottom of our drive.  When he didn't make any attempt to clean it up, I waited for him to come back.  I took a bag out and explained that I would just for today clean it up but that in future I would be happier if he cleaned up.  I said that I had my adults plus a young litter indoors and didn't want to subject them to possible infection and that was why I had sprayed the area.  I actually gave him some bags but the following morning watched again, down the road he came crossed over at my drive, let the dog poo and then crossed back ... didn't clean up.  The dog warden said they have to have evidence so could I take a photo!!!!!

There's a guy where I live with five Golden retrievers.  He brings them down from his house to outside mine and lets them poo.  I've nicely offered him poo bags on numerous occasions and got to the stage where I told him what I thought.  His reply?  "I have five dogs.  Can you imagine how heavy that would be.  You only have one little dog.  If I only had one I would pick it up too.  Think of it as fertilizer".

Still, got my own back.  After a night at the local I collected lots of large deposits and spelt 'poo' on his path.  Made me feel better anyway! :)  (actually it spelt 'po' cos I ran out!)

Hi Haylea I think your dog warden is just looking for an easy life, we've had 2 people successfully prosecuted for letting their dogs poo on our steps. We did know their addresses as they live quite near to us and were expecting some sort of backlash, but the only result of it has been they pick up their poo and lots of our other neighbours have given us a pat on the back, we've even had a few drinks bought for us in our local.
