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

Either let the dog poop before the run or after. Before you can maybe run back inside and drop it off in the garbage, same for after, you wont be running with the bag till the next bin.

No way would my dog be that cooperative, I'm afraid... :-)

haha, my dog is the same. he fancies inconveniently pooping much more.

I was going to say the same thing. I let my dog run in the park for a while hoping that he can get his business done before heading for a run. That doesn't always work though. If there's no bin I would leave the bag somewhere out of the way and collect it on the way back. The old 'stick and flick' is another option if you can be sure you can flick it somewhere where no one will be walking. That's all I can think of, I'm afraid.

I just carry the bag with me, use to gross me out, but it's really not too bad. I just hold it in the same hand that has the leash

Don't have a dog (unfortunately! :sad: ) but I've seen people tie the bag to the leash, around the middle, while they run/walk their dog.

I run around farmer fields in the country side so no need to pick up. Plus.. my dog backs into bushes to do it so would be difficult to pick it up haha

I have no suggestions (although tying it to the leash sounds like a plan) but just want to commend you on even asking this. Where I live so many people just leave their dog's poop in the street and it drives me mad.

Yay for considerate dog owners :drinker:

This may not be an option for you, but I often walk my dog on a local beach, and I am very conscious of the fact that kids are playing nearby, or will be later that day. I take a child's plastic spade (about a foot long and very light) and just bury the produce about 9" down. No-one would know it was there, and 2-3 tides later, it isn't. If your run takes you across earth or grassland, perhaps you could do the same (using a garden trowel, perhaps). It's not very light, but might be easier to carry (for your nose and general well-being) than a bag of poo.

I'm lucky that my girl likes to "offload" at the beginning of an outing, and usually right under the bin bless her. But if she goes somewhere en route, I just pick it up, tie it up, and yes, if necessary I will put it in a pocket until I come across a bin! :embarassed: I personally prefer that to holding a swinging bag as I run (mmm wafty!) - and having it swinging half way down the lead would worry me that it would split unfortunately leaving us both in a horrendous mess!

I should mention that my running buddy is a jack russell - not sure I'd be so quick to put a full bag from a larger dog in my pocket lol!

note: if you do this, 1) have an allocated pocket that you won't get muddled up with, and 2) for the love of sanity, remember to empty your pockets at the first opportunity! :bigsmile:

I prefer running with a four legged partner rather then the two legged type. I have employed multiple techniques to cart the trail droppings and I commend you for thinking about this. Nothing drives me more batty then those that think if toss it off the path no one will see it or hey it natural so why should I have to pick it up.

You can tie it to the leash; you will find with this that the bag will swing back and forth and if you are squeamish this might distract you. You can attach a smaller bag to the leash and place the scat in there until you come upon the proper repository.
Naturally if my Lab has his pack on he will can his own deposits after I clean them up.
A friend had tin can that he would line with a baggie and scoop the waste into the can tie the bag and screw the lid on it, then place it in his pocket {depends on your dogs size} he had a small terrier, not effective with a Labrador or Great Dane.
