Poo Bags.....

[milliepops]

quite possibly but even so I'm not sure that it's fair to leave poop all over private land haven't got a dog so perhaps i'm not qualified to comment.

Generally the land either side of a footpath is private property and should be treated as such. I pick up in public spaces but flick to edge of path in open farmland, woodland etc.

If your boys are off the path in woodland which is private then you are in the wrong.

My boys wouldn't have been off the footpath on private land obviously and it irritates me that you thought they would be.

Indeed!!
To millipops...
I think open farmland is not horse paddocks, I would assume more arable land.

Yes, big wide open fields where we have permission to be, it's natural waste and will decompose quickly if not in huge heaps. Obviously somewhere busy it's picked up.

Well I am sure loads of dogs dump on our land and it doesn't cause a problem at all. (Arable). I agree with you that it is gone in days and people get far too emotional about it. (Not that I want it on my lawn, my non dog beach or anywhere that I have to deal with it). If we had a poo bag tree on the farm I see my OH staking out and teaching the grower a lesson, but luckily we have flickers here.

Well we've just been for a walk, and didn't even get to use a bag! Suppose I'll have to go out again before bed.

Some dogs won't go on the lead, mine won't. I hope he settled and you all got some sleep.

yes-my last wee dog wouldn't, she'd also been trained to go way off track which was great

dog poo can cause abortions to cattle when it is in silage.

yes, I always pick up if on grazing! Not much arable round our way, lots of forestry though and very, very few people.

Yes, on grazing I would pick it up. TBH though we don't ever have to at home, we are very lucky.

He's been a couple of times in the garden, so maybe a lead or a pavement thing. He needs to lose a lot of weight, so we will be going for lots of walks, slowly further afield. Will see what he does and have my bags at the ready.

Here's a pic.
