There is nothing wrong with a well behaved dog,yet there is plenty wrong with owners who could not give a monkeys nuts as to how there dogs behave.

Treat a dog with love and affection,bring it up to be well adjusted and well mannered and you will have a friend that would happily give its life for you.Drag it up and you will have to accept all that that will entail.

Oh and by the way back to the original thread topic.


Pick it up,its foul and disgusting to leave your dogs mess there for all and sundry to tread in.

It's not ideal, but at least horses are vegetarians. Their poo is nowhere near as nasty as dog poo.

An old man close to where we used to live brought his dog to poo on the football field every morning. I asked him very politely every single day to clear it up and just got a mouthful. So one day, I was leaving as he was driving away, and I followed him. The next day, I delivered his dog poo to his doorstep - just the one - I didn't clear up the entire field!

People who own cats are more likely to be educated to degree level and beyond than people who own dogs.

And the best way to stop cats using your garden as a toilet? Get your own cat; they won't use their own garden and their presence prevents others. Mind you; it doesn't help the neighbours! It's making me ponder... If everyone had a cat, where would they !!!!!!?

We have a big problem with dog mess on our pavements. The walk to and from school is a nightmare having to quickly tell the kids "mind that dog mess".

There are quite a few dog walkers around my area, so it's difficult to pin-point who it is.

The school my husband used to teach at has extensive playing fields. There was a scheme afoot to lease some of it to the local football team to use as their practice ground.

The amount of dog-owners who complained about this was unbelievable. They would have 'nowhere to exercise (i.e deposit crap) their dogs'. (This school is located in leafy suburbs!). The Head pointed out that the school grounds were actually private property and they had no right to walk their dogs there anyway. Then he pointed out how the caretaker had to go round several times a day to remove the dog mess so that the students could use their own playing field. The football team would cause far less trouble.

Everyone on here has said they clean up after their dog. Well I have no reason to disbelieve them, but there are also a lot (majority) of people who don't.

Some of the objectors actually seemed to think that their dog had more right to use the fields than the schoolkids!

My pet hate? Dogs in restaurants. I said to my husband the other day, how would the dog owners feel feel if I brought a goat/sheep/pig in? No animals should be in a public place where people eat. If I wanted that I'd eat in a kennel, pigsty or stable.

Rant done.

You can get gas gangrene (clostridial myonecrosis) from playing sport on fields that dogs have used as a toilet. Really, really nasty.
