[NAGDU] Poop bags

For poop bags, we do two things. First, rename it: Poor man’s pocket warmer! That gets a laugh in the hood, but it also takes the drugery out mentally. And to help that…second, if you are going to carry it around, seriously friends, double bag it so you can actually put it in your pocket!
Environmentally speaking, it does concern us that we use plastic…any plastic. Having just learned that only about 10% of recycling material actually does get recycled, we recently switched from plastic poop bags to compostable ones. They cost more, but they are made from corn and will degrade. Biobag is one brand, and there are several others. How far can we take this? Corn, hmm. That means commercial corn, a monsanto product. We are looking for something better. Meanwhile, double bag and have fun.
Oh, here’s one more thing. No matter how many bags, the smell will eventually get through. Many cars have a rear windshield wiper these days. If there isn’t a can around, and we or a frient have a car, we put the rear wiper blade between the poop and the knot. You can drive across the state and arrive with it pristine and beautiful…for trash can delivery. Cheers!

Then we harness up and head out, only to have him often poop in the first 200 or 300 yards of our route. His signs of needing to go on route are clear. He walks very, very slowly, stops, won?t go, pulls into the grass, etc. If I force it and try and ignore his needing to go and try to get home so that he can park at home, he will poop on the road in harness. If I take his harness off and let him go to the edge of the road, he often gets distracted by the grass and brush on the edges and starts eating crap instead of doing what he so urgently indicated he had to do.

For those of us with dogs that poop on route, this might be a topic of interest. If I am close to people, I don?t like the waft of poop smell that escapes from the bag, scented or not. It?s not always nice to be swinging said bag from one?s hand as a kind of trophy. lol.

> The Dicky Bag is a tough, clever, useful little device invented by award winning Mumprenuer Mandy Davies. Designed, manufactured and engineered in Cornwall and tested by her dogs. Revolutionising the dog walk by making dog walking a pleasure again. Whether you?re using it to store your phone, wallet, keys, ball, leads or the original idea POOP you can enjoy your walk hands free, easily safely and odourlessly. Because Mandy is a hardened dog-walker as well as a fiendishly cunning designer, she knows exactly what you need from a bag to carry dog poop in. You need it to be practical, soft and tough, so it's made out of light and robust genuine 4mm neoprene, leak proof and machine washable. You want plenty of room inside, so there's a Pocket for several of your type of fresh bags and we sell a hand sanitiser that fits medium, large and extra large Dicky Bags too. It also needs to have hands-free operation, so there's a universal clip that attaches to you, your dog harness, lead, rucksa

Well, we have no businesses either, so that makes sense and is okay. I do have several places where I can covertly stash a bag if I am on my way to catch the ferry to go to town. Hey, I don't want to be holding a smelly poop bag in my hand on a crowded passenger-only ferry. lol. I then pick up the bag from its hiding place on my way home and put it in our home garbage.

>>> In town, I know of a few garbage cans, but I wish I knew more. I know they're there, but where. Ug. I think I need a song too. I'll have to think on that. But I do have a fridge magnet that says "Poop happens: Just pick it up and move on." One of the letter "o"s looks like a pile of poop.

>>> Seriously, for those times that you have to cary a poop bag in close proximity to others, have you found a way of doing it that masks the smell a bit? I have heard of a carry bag called a Turdle bag, but I don't know how well it works and if it is more hassle than its worth.

>>> Hi Jean.
>>> I feel your pain. Krokus does the same trick. Just out of curiosity, is your dog from TSE? I begin to think pooping on route is a TSE feature, though I know dogs from other schools sometimes do, too.
>>>
>>> I take him to relieve in front of my house, mostly. I let him walk around along the whole strip of grass and street in the front, about 60 feet. Often, enough walking up and down will stimulate him to go. For some reason, he is more likely to poop when my husband takes him than when I do. Maybe my husband is more patient.
>>> I've also found that attaching the relieving belt and the bag can stimulate him to go, too. Maybe it bugs him, and he wants to get it off?
>>> At work, I walk him a block or so to a good spot, put on his bag, then let him sniff and spin until I get a result. He used to get distracted by all the action around, but now he just needs some encouraging "park time"'s from me, and he does his thing.
>>>
>>> If none of that works, and he starts stopping on route and saying he has to go, I try to keep him moving to a spot we've used before, just so he doesn't start thinking he can stop anywhere. Of course, then every time we pass that spot, he thinks it's time to stop and have a sniff and a pee, so I really try to get him to go before we go.
>>>
>>> Good luck. For me, relieving on route is very aggravating. I've even made up a little blues song about walking around with a full baggy, trying to find a trash can.

>>> I know there is no real answer for this other than probably likely time and possibly maturity, but here goes.
>>>
>>> I have a new pup. I take him out for park time, and he always pees. I give him lots of time and encouragement for a poop, but often there is nothing. Then we harness up and head out, only to have him often poop in the first 200 or 300 yards of our route. His signs of needing to go on route are clear. He walks very, very slowly, stops, won?t go, pulls into the grass, etc. If I force it and try and ignore his needing to go and try to get home so that he can park at home, he will poop on the road in harness. If I take his harness off and let him go to the edge of the road, he often gets distracted by the grass and brush on the edges and starts eating crap instead of doing what he so urgently indicated he had to do.
>>>
>>> Factors:
>>> 1 He is new.
>>> 2 He has never had a yard before, and gets distracted by the grass and new smells, so parking at home might be just distracting on its own.
>>> 3 We are walking on gravel roads with grass or brush along the edges. If I let him stop along the way, he gets fixated on eating crap and won?t necessarily poop. Again, all this new stuff is just amazing to eat.
>>>
>>> I really praise him when he poops at home especially prior to a walk. I sometimes even offer up a treat reward for a home poop.
>>>
>>> So, any ideas on how to further encourage that poop prior to heading out? I give him lots of time and encouragement to move about. I don?t want pooping on route to become the norm.
>>>
>>> What are people?s reactions to this kind of situation? Obviously, it is frustrating. But do you just accept that poop happens and if he has to go, he has to go, or do you fall into another camp and try to fix this behaviour?
>>>
>>> Thanks for any input.
