How do you discourage dogs pooping on your lawn?

You go through all that trouble, why not just pick it up?

I just don't get it....unless you are writing this stuff to get under people's skin

like I said before, normally I don't have the bag with me. forget. this is not downtown DC or an area with sidewalks, so less likely to leave land mines for someone else ...

Either store the bags where you keep the leash or better yet ... Why don't you tie the bags to your leash?

yes, I PROMISE (seriously), because of DCUM, that I will remember to bring the damn bag with me next time (and thereafter).

we have two big dogs and an acre lot, so 75% of the time they don't go poop on walks. but yeah, I don't want to be the asshole neighbor so I will do better going forward.

11:22 - SMART. You don't want retaliation from crazy neighbors like me. Trust me.

Grocery and/or newspaper delivery bags are great for this. Dog poop does NOT disintegrate quickly. You are recycling and doing your share to help save the planet, instead of being a rotten, lazy neighbor. Neighbors KNOW who you are if you do not pick up!

I'm going to try this! Our property is right next to a bike path and the house is far enough away that I can't always see who is using it. Even if I could figure out who leaves us the occasional treasure, I know it's not someone from our immediate block. Add to that I hate confrontation.


I realize you need to walk your dog, but I shouldn't have to walk a circuit of my yard before I can let my toddlers outside to play.

THIS! If I can save my grocery bags for poopy diapers, you can save yours to get rid of your dogs' biohazards.

This is what you should get your non-picking up neighbors.

I don't own one, just heard about it on Wait, Wait....Don't Tell Me.

When my mom had breast cancer she wasn't home a lot. So, some people walking dogs let them go on her sidewalk (she lived on the corner). I saw one woman doing this and screamed at her in front of everyone. I then called the police and they fined her.

15:18 - good on you! I have done this, also. SO worth it. I don't really care who it is. Don't be a disrespectful f*ck and there won't be consequences. Easy.

Two words: rockingchair and shotgun.

I don't own a dog.

But, it is not nuclear waste, people. It is biodegradeable.

I get angrier at the people in my office who leave their cigarette butts all over the ground in front of our building.

20:38 - you don't own a dog so STFU. I own dogs and I am a responsible dog owner. If you can't bother to pick up after them, what else can you not be bothered to do? Ew.

Dog owners: think of the children!
