[NAGDU] Finding a trash can WAS Re: Relieving in the City

[david at bakerinet.com]

I, too, trained Claire Rose to find trash cans and I bought some canvas straps with a spring snap clip.  I put one on on her harness, so I don't have to carry it around.  When I close the poop bag, I twist it around and make a loop like you would with a string and slip it onto the clip.
 Some stores have trash receptacles, but I try to have her find one outside so it doesn't stink up an office or a store.

	Joe,

	

	I taught Mitzi to find the trash. Sometimes the little dear would find a trash can or dumpster and go nearby, then show me again so I could toss the bag. Still working on that with Loki, mostly because the need doesn't come up often. If he goes outside the yard, it's usually on the stretch of our
route where there isn't a trash can or dumpster to find, so I get to carry it home. That happened more when he was younger, before he was guiding, so I had the fun of managing leash, cane and bag, trying to pretend there was nothing undignified about it. /lol/
