    Depending on the size of your dog you can get them a light weight pack and you can put the baggie in there. Lots of dogs run with light weight "back packs" that carry baggies.. foldable bowl ect...I too run in town but since I go by the high scool and business district..plenty of cans about.

    I run roughly 5k with my Dalmatian at least 3 times a week, averaging about 9 - 10 min/mile, she's doesn't seem to ever want to stop while we're running too be honest, I either let her into the garden for a few mins before or after the run. I run mostly on pavements, and I guess because she doesn't have anywhere to smell and sniff she doesn't feel the need to go!

    I have an Akita & Pitbull mix, and I never pick up his poop, because for some odd reason he has to go and hide in the bushes when he does it LOL, so I can't always grab it anyways...and since I'm not supposed to run anymore (according to my chiropractor), I just race him up and down the stairs in my townhouse and let my fiance run outside with him. :smile:

    That's that Akita in him. My sister in law has one and that's how he always has to go lol.

    my dog doesn't go while we are running.....I give him a chance to do his thing near home, drop it in the trash can and then go for the run, at the end when I'm ready to cool down and his nose goes to the ground again he might go again and I pick it up. If your dog is dropping turds while you are jogging and dragging him on his leash, then you're not giving him his time before the race to lighten the load.

    I have my dog trained to poop at a certain point of the run. We run around our neighborhood and there is a section of apartments that have open bins. We do a warm up walk/stretch for a few minutes, then run to this same spot and I allow him off leash to "do his business", drop the poop in the bin and we run on. If he does not go in this section, he has to hold it for the rest of the run...he caught on very quickly and always poops in the same area of the run. Smart pup, lucky mom! :)

    I've been trying to work this one out too.
    I think next time what I'm going to try and do is attach a large safety pin to the lead just far enough away from their heads so it doesn't hit them, then tie the bags to the pin.
    It should work unless they try and stop and the lead sags.
