    I go hiking with my dog alone a lot! It's so quiet and relaxing!

    sometimes, they (not me) leave the bag because they are doing out and backs and will pick up the bag on the way back to the trailhead.

    as a dog owner, i will cosign that your super friendly dog needs to be on a leash. i don't care how well you think your dog is trained.

    I wanted to believe so badly that people would pick up their bags on the way back but unfortunately that is not my experience.

    I always see bags of dog poop on the side of all popular trails that allow dogs. Doesn't matter the time of day or how many other cars are parked at the trailhead. Always colorful plastic bags.

    I don't understand why people bag it up if they were going to leave it there. The pop is bad enough but it's all organic matter, the plastic bag will never decompose. And if it doesn't bother you to pick it up in the first place than why not just carry out?

    Anyway if this bothers anybody a lot, dogs aren't allowed in national parks, you won't have this experience in them.
