I will never forget the first and only time I’ve ever cleaned after a dog. I was about 8 and walking someone’s dog. I’d seem the clean up, so I thought it was just so neat and tidy how you put your hand in the bag, grab the crap and turn it inside out and knot it. I had NO IDEA it would be warm. I was completely beside myself. It could be why I still don’t own a dog.

i’ve seen people actually sit there with the bag under the dog’s butt, waiting to catch it. This is great it if makes it into the bag and never gets near you to share its warmth. But you look completely ridiculous.

Oh yeah, we DOG people have MASTERED the art of the one-handed grab, flip inside out, and twist. WHILE being tugged at by a four legged creature wanting to escape the scene of the crime. The bad days are when it’s… shall we say lacking structure? An un-grabbable mess.

I just turn the bag inside out to grab it. I guess it is kind of gross…but I don’t think about it. Just one part of being a dog owner.

Hi,

I don’t have dogs, so I can’t comment on the pooper scooping. I do, however, have cats and can very much relate to finding “deposits” here and there. Never found a “hot” one, though. And yes, it’s gross!

Out here in the Philippines we just pour an equal amount of kerosene on the dog’s poo and burn it up. That way it gets rid of the nasty smell and the poo almost evaporates away.

Very nice article. I’m finding out more about how to potty train my toddler from reading the info on your site, then I’ve ever did from the advice given to me by my own grandma. Hope it’s ok that I share this post on Mixx?

I’ve found the easiest trick, though not so glamorous, is to keep 2 plastic supermarket bags (one lining the other) attached to the side of the dog collar. Detach and use the inside out method when needed, tie a not to seal it in, and attach it back on the collar rather than carrying it. The dog barely notices it’s there after a couple of walks.

Personally I use the inside out bag method. However, you can try using the freeze-poop spray!

Late coming to the party, but figured I’d post anyway. I use little diaper disposal bags I get at the dollar store for, uh, a dollar. Per hundred, that is. Hand in bag, grab the poop, a quick invert and tie and we’re good to go. Do I wait for it to cool? Nah. In fact, when I pick it up I always say “Fresh from the oven!”

My puppy poops almost 3 times a day! After he eats, he poops. Grrrr… But I trained him to poop outside the house. Whenever he feels the need to.. he goes to my backdoor and barks aloud so I can hear him.

Tish — I’ve seen those scoop things, but never anyone parking it under a dog’s butt. Kudos for her for being so efficient!

Lauren — You get lots of credit for doing that! I don’t really want to be that close to an animal’s behind, but it happens sometimes unwillingly. My cats have a knack for jumping up on the table and facing me with the business end of things.

Hi, I’m your neice’s friend, Lauren. For our dog Bandit, we just (awkwardly) follow the dog holding the plastic bag under his rear end. Then, we knot the bag and hold it by the handles. You never have to touch it. But to my mom’s dismay, she often finds me holding my nose when on “Dooty Duty”.

We have a pet store scoop on long sticks. The mess goes into an empty kitter litter bucket, which goes out with the trash every week. No muss, no fuss….
I once saw a woman who had a flat pan on a long stick. She’d walk along, when the dog would get “the stance”, she’d slide the pan under his bum and the mess went onto the plastic bag that she had slid over the pan. Genius!

Lorrine — If nothing else there should be a doggie law to keep kids from finding deposits on the lawn and doing gross things with it.
