dirty dog owners

Anthillmob

cant blame the dogs as when they need to go they need to go but why do dog owners not take responsibility and clean up?

not a pop @ all dog owners. we have 1 and clean up after him though he prefers to go in the privacy of his own garden.

my eldest has just started school and the footpath outside her school is absolutely littered with dog poo. its disgusting and especially when outside a school.

what can be done?

our local dog warden dont seem to care a jot about anything [ive complained numerous times about a woman round the corner who lets hers out to poo everywhere off leads and how one is a pitbull] and nowt has been done.

I wouldnt be going down the pitbull road yet...... IT may look like one but could quite easily be a perfectly legal safe dog and unless your a professional in diagnosing canine breeds id avoid any accusations.

Maybe you could make up your own dog warden letter, address it to her and make out she has been caught on cctv numerous times and this is a final warning before legal action is taken......

Ballsy but it may well work.

People who don't clean up their dog's poo really really annoys me as well.

We were walking our dog in the park the other day and he needed to poo, there was a woman not to far in front of us who's dog had also decided to do it's business but she just walked off afterwards. We picked up our dogs poo and carried on walking him, we got to the place where her dog had done his poo and ended up picking that up as well. We cut across the field and caught up with the woman, passed her a bag of poo and said "I believe this belongs to you" then went on ahead and stood next to the red dog waste bin and as she put it in said "That wasn't to difficult was it".

I know it won't do any good but from what she muttered under her breath she must have mistaken me for someone who does dangerous tricks with food as she said something about a 'cooking stunt'

Have you tried contacting someone like your local councillor to get them to try and do something about it?

the owner told my partner its a pitbull.

proof enough for me. unless she is trying to look hard stood out there any time of day in her pyjamas letting her dogs poop everywhere because she cant be arsed to walk them properly.

The owners should have their faces rubbed in it.

We have recently moved to Spain and the problem is horrendous here.It is rare to see a Spanish person picking their dog mess up and it absolutely stinks to high heaven

Shocking

I agree with what you've all said I have a dog who would plat her legs and has on more than one occasion dragged me back home in order to do a poo.
I think rubbing dirty owners faces in it is going a bit far lol but if thats what it take's

I tidy after both of ours- the only time I didn't was when the Lab was a pup- took her straight across a mini roundabout and she went in the middle- wasn't too concerned about lifting it with a van approaching!

slightly abridged from another thread where I posted this cautionary tale ...


my ex mother law, a really fierce wee woman, in her late 70's at the time, caught someone's large dog to sh*tting in the entrance to her garden path

she politely asked the dog's owner if they were going to pick the mess up, the woman laughed & said 'you must be f'ing joking, pick it up yourself if you want it moving'

she did pick it up & hurled it straight at the back of the dog owner's head, SPLAT! right in her hair :eek:

neither the dog nor the owner have ever been seen on that road again

I like to shout at them in the street when i dont see them clean up.. bird walked past the bus stop as i was going the other way and her do0g shat then she started to walk away

'Oi you are you going to clean up after your dog' and she turned a nice shade of red in front of everyone..

Now i agree dog owners should pick up the mess and i used to with my dog, but i have seen countless times when i see parents leave nappies filled with the same stuff as dogs do, on the street same thing just different situation.
