Rant: Inconsiderate dog owners !

My walk to work is littered with dog poop - especially the last part of my journey - on Council land! This has just reminded me to report it

Maybe they should start putting the owners down if they keep dangerous dogs that hurt people.

I agree with that :T
I live at the end of a dead end. so i have no choice but to walk past a garden with a massive rotwieler in it. i am dreading the day it figures out how tojump the fence that is between my 3yr old daughter and the horrible viciously barking mutt! (it seems to have taken a disliking to her and my newborn, but i have walked past alone and it has stayed silent) It has already escaped once and attacked a neighbours little dog

i once got pinned into a corner by a rottweiler. you can imagine how scary it was for a 14 year old to be in that situation

I live in an area where lots of people have dogs, and one day I will do what posters above have advised and go after them with a carrier bag full of it :-)

I hate dogs too.

Whenever I'm walking home from work through the park I see dogs everywhere and they always seem to wait until I'm walking past them to squeeze one out. Makes my stomach churn and I have to resist the urge to convert them over the nearest hedge.

Our neighbors' got one about a year ago and they leave it alone in the house most of the day (and sometimes late at night).

This thing will just bark and bark and bark until they come home. Since the walls are quite thin, this can become quite annoying after the first 3 hours.

Inconsiderate sods.

I think people should have to prove they are socially responsible before being allowed to own a dog.

In an unrelated matter I also had to bang on their door at 4am on a Wednesday to ask them if they were ever going to finish with the drunker session of sing star...

I hate dog owners who don't pick up poo (or in forests where it's suggested, flick it off the path with a stick - even less effort!). And I am a dog owner! I don't particularly want dog poo stuck to my shoes, or even worse having to rinse my dog's paw off as he's stepped in it.


Also don't like owners who don't take precautions with unfriendly dogs, woman down the road, she helps out a rescue even, yet has a male dog who goes for other dogs - who she lets off lead, unmuzzled in public places. He went for another dog in our road who wasn't physically hurt, but is scared to even be in our street now


Problem is people who don't control their dogs or pick up after them are causing those of us who do to have less places we can actually take them.

A dog used to do his poo in our drive every day. We have one of those little signs on the lamp post outside out side about how much oweners can be fined for letting dogs poo without picking it up. (this was a while ago)
I was fed up of coming home and walking in poo! We had never caught the person doing it, as was always done in the week when no one was here. Cue a snow day and we were sat watching telly, hear the dog on the drive and his owner just looking throught the window. My mum was out like a shot, the man claimed was the first time it had ever happpened. Never happened since.

I now walk a dog for my friend a couple of days a week, always take a bag with me, I have been known to carry it in a leaf if the bag is full. And in the snow recently i was in such a rush I forgot my bag and had to run home and find one to go and get it up.
Dog poo is vile.

And that is just the irresponsible dog owners.

Just for the record - it is against the law to allow a dog to do its business in the gutter.
The only area on Council maintained land where dogs can do anything without it having to be picked up . . . . is the middle of a road - for obvious reasons.

At the beginning of this year, our pavements were under snow for three weeks. I have never seen so much dog dirt as there was when the snow melted.

Like another member mentioned, I too have scooped up dog faeces, and delivered it to the owners' house. Then I have notified the Animal Welfare office.

The first was a man of a certain age. He declared that he was permitted to allow his animal to deposit its fecal matter wherever he wanted and that I should mind my own business. He claimed to be blind and ostentatiously showed me a white stick.

That made me laugh.. my sister is blind and still picks up her guide dogs poo!

I don't hate dogs, I can live with them, but I'd rather not have one.
Cats are so much easier to control *Phew*
