If outdoor exercising is banned, what about dog walking?

[namechangemania]

Are they exempt? Expected to just use their garden for dog exercise? What about dog owners without gardens?

Heard what I thought was a sensible proposition on the radio the other day. To ask people with large gardens to give up their daily walk and exercise in their garden instead so that people with no outside space could social distance more effectively in less crowded public spaces. Sounds reasonable to me.
Walk miles most days with my elderly but still energetic dog in normal circumstances but she’ll cope perfectly well in our large garden for as long as it takes.

People with 'large' gardens cant go out for a walk? Define 'large".

I’m a tinpot Stalinist? 😂

Just thought it sounded like a nice thing to do, if you were lucky enough to have your own personal space and could manage with it for a couple of months. No big deal.

That’s me told.

Or would we be issued timetables to spread the use of the streets?

Yes, if none of you have enough common sense to go back in as soon as business is done, nor to walk to an unoccupied area for the ruination/defecation to happen

I am impressed at the synchronised bladder/bowels of the village dogs!

Too true.

My ruination has aleady happened

My DCs will be identifying as dogs for the foreseeable if dogs are allowed out and not children.

As long as you walk them on a lead, wait while they do a poo and collect it in a baggie.

Smallest is potty training atm, picking up poop from the pavement sounds preferable to having to grab the potty before he tries to empty it himself. Does a little life backpack count?

Have they decided what breed the are?

One of mine was a collie when he was four, he used to cook his leg by every tree on the way to nursery.

Mumsnet has officially gone bloody loopy.

For fuck sake. Sort yourselves out.

Smallest is a cockapoo, he's got curly blonde hair and gets terrible separation anxiety.

Eldest is a greyhound, long, lean and bloody fast.

Welcome to the other side, then!
