To think picking up dog mess isn't enough?

I've name changed even though this is a genuine question (expect a lot of flaming but want to return IYSWIM).

Why do dogs have to shit on the pavement? Even when it's picked up it leaves a horrible shitty streak. I know the dogs diet/age will have a lot to do with this but if your pushing a buggy or using a mobility chair it's really hard to avoid.

Why can't dog owners make them "park it" in the gutter? You'd still need to clean up but shitty streaks wouldn't be a concern.

Where I live there a quite a few dogs so lots of turds. Even the owners who pick up still leave a nasty calling card and I have to take my buggy into my flat (I can't leave it anywhere else).

I don't expect pavements to be my personal red carpet but surely dog owners can see that their mess lingers so to do it in the gutter would be better?

Or...

AIBU?

Your dog talks?

He can be very expressive , it takes a bit of guesswork but we get there eventually .

I think guide dogs are trained to "go" on command. But I'm not 100% sure as I don't have a guide dog, nor do I know anyone with one to ask them.

musicmadness my town is disgusting with dog poo on the pavements. some parts worse than others.

lolipop most dogs can be trained to poo on command. i must crack on with training WB to only poo in the garden.

Floral buy him a couple of these and pinch the boots. It worked for this little pig.

Great idea ! You see he needs the boots so that he doesn't tread his paws in other dogs poo smears when he's out and about .
