YANBU. Totally disgusting. And not much better if they pick up the shit and throw the little plastic bag into the trees! WTF is that in aid of?

Yeah this happened to us in a car park the other day. Someone considerately covered up their dogs mess with lots of little pebbles from a nearby flower bed, and my 4 yr old trod on the pile of pebbles and sunk her foot in to a pile of dog shite. Nice.

This makes me so cross, stupid dog owners! (not all of them obviously, just the ones who don't clean up) DH has trodden in it twice this week, I'm just glad it wasn't DS. Is there a law against this? I never catch them in the act unfortunately!

YANBU round here there are a lot of woodlands, fair enough not to have to pick it up in the woods well off the path. But near the path, or where the grass is cut, or the beach, I would have something to say about it.

smoggii · 20/07/2012 19:06

some people are idiots, some idiots are dog owners, not all dog owners are idiots.

I hate dog owners who don't pick up their dog's shit, I am a dog owner that does pick up my dog's shit, those that don't give dog owners a bad name.

Nothing more frustrating than walking the baby and the dog trying to dodge steaming piles.

IawnCont · 20/07/2012 19:09

I disagree msrantalot I live by a woodland and my children like to run circles round the trees/ go hunting borrowers etc, and I don't think they should have to suffer dogshit.
I have a dog. I use a path that I'm pretty damn sure no-one else uses. But I always pick it up, even if it's in the ditch.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 20/07/2012 19:21

YANBU. Dog owners should pick up their dogs shit every time, no exceptions.

I don't care if your dog has the squits, or the sea will wash it away, or if it is off the path.

Pick it up!

Your dog, your responsibility.

bejeezus · 20/07/2012 20:16

It doesn't wash off *especially on a beach

And, it all gets stuck in the treads anyway, so you either have to scrub it out or pick it out.

It is completely minging
No excuses

yanbu

its a huge huge problem, i cant relax in any park or any walk as its just bloody EVERYWHERE.

its foul and disgusting and totally VILE.

I am dog owner, I go out with bag, I pick it up and put it in bin.

tbh though, I have to say alot of dog owners are mad nutters arnt they? you can tell that from all the posts about dogs. I relaly dont think half the people that even talk about dogs with such great knowledge should actually be allowed one.

villagegossip · 20/07/2012 20:25

Yep totally agree - I have 2 dogs and always have plenty of bags to clear up after them. I (or my dogs) Angry often walk in other dogs shite and it is grim!

I often catch other dog owners walking off and ask them if they want a bag. I excelled myself one morning though, saw a dog squat and shouted to the owner to clear their dogs shit - only it was a bitch having a wee! Blush Grin

Dog poo is revolting. Owners should clear it up. Most do, some don't. YANBU.

There hasn't been a cat poo thread for a day or two.
