People who run with their dogs? (tiny bit icky)

"stick and flick" is a method advocated by our local forestry comission around here, and it's intended to flick it to the dense undergrowth, so it's not like people are flicking it at people's windows or anything, it's to get it away from any trodden areas - and ultimately better for the environment than bagging and binning!
I suspect 'Martyred in Manchester' isn't really interested in the detail. Just wanted to have a go at people who are actually *trying* to be responsible.
I blame the sideburns.0 -
I saw this on Dragon's den: a young woman had designed a pretty, plastic-lined bag, and she put it in there. I think you could probably come up with the same thing: a pretty bag, just big enough, lined with plastic that you could double again, and put the poop bag in that. Well hidden. Doesn't gross you, nor anyone you encounter. Looks attractive, and the contents are easy to dispose of.0

My darn dog, a Dingo, will poop, AS SHE IS WALKING, call that talented..until you step in it..I always bring several bags. It doesn't bother me to carry it, I was RN, seem, smelled, and held, much fouler things than dog poo.
I really like the idea of the dog pack tho. Will try that, maybe she can carry my water bottle, cell, and keys too.
Ain't nobody gettin' a free ride in my house anymore!! ha ha.
Happy Easter, HE HAS RISEN!!

Why even *read* a thread about dogs if you dislike them so much? Seriously... ?
You need to have a word with yourself.
You appear, in your rush to be offended, to have missed the point of the thread. Given that you don't like dogs, own a dog, or run, quite what did you feel you could offer to a well intentioned query... other than being a prat?
If being a prat was, indeed, your intention, then mission accomplished mate. Well done you!
And sliding off topic slightly.... Do you think having a disclaimer about 'not meaning to be offensive' in your profile makes you any less of a twit when you deliberately attempt to be so?0 -
Me being a knitter, the first thing that came to my mind was to knit a doggy jacket type thing that had pockets!
Or maybe you could fashion some sort of belt with pockest that fits around your doggy's waist.
Hey! I should start knitting something for doggy poop! I could make millions!
Remember: 'Nessesity is the Mother of Invention' lol!
Good luck to you and thanx for being such a good pet owner.0 -
lol, I love the idea of a knitted poop bag. Stretchy.... :-)0

Like I always told my children: It's SO EASY to be offensive, sarcastic and mean; but it takes some brains to be helpful, kind and beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.
BUT I must say this: HAHAHA! "I blame the sideburns." Good one!0 -

Perhaps we should get back on topic?0 -
Wow, you're a savant. Not trying, and still managing it so incredibly well! I applaud you.
But if you don't get *how* your intervention was offensive, you might want to do some work on that 'insight' thing. Your contribution was not constructive, and was not on topic.
As to the rest... well, bless you. Seriously. You and your facial hair.0 -

Seriously dude, give it a rest. You aren't adding anything of value to this thread.0 -
A. run on trash day when all the bins are out...fields in the country side so no need to pick upstick and flick
I don't have a dog because I cannot stand the mess... having dog owners thrusting their mess upon me is terribly inconsiderate.
Agree with all of the above.
EDIT: Although perhaps would have put it more delicately. However, stumbling (literally sometimes) on other people's dog mess is a horrible experience!:(0 -
We found this very handy leash which has its own compartment for plastic bags! See if there is any in pet stores near where you live?0
-
I agree, thanks for being considerate about your dog's poo. I have the same problem. Sometimes I plan a loop past my driveway and can toss bag there until I get back. But I have gotten used to the grossness and will put bag in a pocket sometimes. Honestly, I am so smelly after a run and my clothes are going straight into the wash anyway, what difference does a bag of poo make?
Please use biodegradable bags!0 -
A friend bought me a bag made of the same stuff they use for wet suits with a zip and an airfreshner thing inside with dog bags in the lid at a country show in UK it clips to your belt but all safe inside I use it all the time with t
mine xxx0 -

only type we have left in australia and now we have to pay if we want them!0 -

Which is, quite clearly, why so many responsible dog owners have taken the time and energy to contribute sensible thoughts to this thread.
I get quite angry when people don't clean up after their dogs too. Hence the thread....0 -

I don't know if this is an option where you live.... do a google search for dog leash holding poop bags.
I haven't tried it, I actually don't mind holding the squishy, stinky thin plastic bag of poo until I find a trash bin. :happy:0 -

Just a warning to anyone who is thinking about using a doggie backpack and has never used one before. Yes the dog can carry your keys, water bottles, cell's etc. but, you should introduce weight slowly and evenly on both sides in order to not harm your dog. I would do a bit of research before just putting one on your dog.
Just don't want anyone to injure their pooch!!0 -
You can actually get leashes with zipper pouches on them, specifically to carry poop-filled baggies. Also, there are doggie cargo "vests" with zipper pouches all over, convenient for making Fido pack his own poop out.0

You're funny! I run with my border collie, and do a couple different things with the poo. If we are running a route where we run to a destination and back - I will bag the poo and pick it up on my way back. I also try to run a route where I know I will pass at least one dumpster or trash bin, and if worse comes to worse, I tie the poo onto my dogs leash (she has a 10 ft) leash and I tie it down more by her.
If you do start running with your puppy, remember to break them in -- dogs can't just start running 3 miles.0 -
Just bring a dog treat with you, then once the pooch drops the deuce, go ahead and put the treat into the pile like a little cherry on top!

I'm sorry everyone. My fiance decided he wanted to be funny and took over my account. I tried to stop him, but he pushed the button too soon...0 -
Start your walk/jog in an area where you know there is a garbage can nearby and once your dog goes, scoop it, toss it and then start the real part of your run.0

i as a runner, would like to thank you and all the other who DO pick up. where i live, no one picks it up. so while i am running on a sidewalk, i have to dodge it. not fun.
so thank you all who pick up your pets poo...0 -
I take my dog for a long walk before I go for my run. I consider it as my warm up. That way I don't have to worry about poo while I run, or stopping every minute when he wants to smell something. Plus, my dog can't keep up with me.0
-
If I am no where near a trash can then I leave it bagged in the gutter and come right back for it with the car. I am fortunate though that there are a few churches along my route that have bins because I swear one of my dogs will ONLY poop when out on a run. Never in the yard before or after! LOL!0

I got my dog one of these doggie bag holders. I got it from the £ shop, and you just slip it on to their collar. It looks cute, and it's practical0

Not sure the dog would agree about how pleasant it is though! :laugh:0
