I am meticulous when I travel about cleaning up after Toby. I strongly endorse this product. Dog owners, pl ease clean up so people let is take our dogs places. I hate it when people don’t.

You put this inside the bag and close it like a claw to pick up the poop, then turn the bag inside out. Makes an unpleasant chore easy. Folds up very nifty.

II also love this little thing. It is a little bag that straps on to the leash. It zips open and holds rolls of bags, and has a little slit where you can pull them out. So handy.

Thank you for being a responsible pet owner.

I’ve never found picking up poops to be burdensome, though I’m sure it helps to have a small dog, and feed it a diet that yields reasonably solid poop. And of course you don’t want to cheap out on bags, I use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ISBWVTG

I have one of those leash roll holders, but since I normally use an extendable leash (yes, I know that they can be bad), I tend to leave it in the dog carrier and just toss a couple bags in my pocket before a walk.

Eh, I have an extendable leash for my dog, and she is 70lbs of muscle and energy. It does fine when she wants to chase a squirrel or bull.

I decided to look it up and will probably buy one. I wasn’t expecting the other item listed with it on Amazon.

I guess Toby must crap bigger than the Frenchies we have had. My condos have these. I put a bio bag inside them so I can reuse the scoop thing for a couple weeks before it breaks and then I recycle them. You are supposed to scoop and then push the handle down and it seals it up. When it’s raining I do it like that to get going and I don’t have to tie a knot in the bag while the dog pulls to go home because it’s wet....

Yeah add quinoa or pumpkin and poop is fine.

I often wonder when I see people picking up dog poo and see the dog looking at them think.

I think of the dog going, ‘I can’t sit on the couch, he’s the boss, yet i t’s my poo he’s picking up’.

I don’t mind it when I take my sister’s dog or neighbours dog for a walk. I just pick it up and put it in the dog poo bin

Most of the issues are related to owners being irresponsible. The only one where a big dog makes a difference is that you want to be extra sure you have a good quality one that they won’t be strong enough to break.

Small dogs = small poops. Olive’s poops are only marginally larger than what I scoop out of the litter box.

Our backyard is fenced in so that's where she does most of her business. I go out every few days and walk the yard. It becomes more crucial once lawnmowing season starts. That being said, I've missed a few and run over them with the mower. They're so small that the mower doesn't even hit them.

Someone on our local walking route hasn’t been cleaning up after their pet and it drives me crazy. There are multiple trashcans within two blocks and it’s typically in a small area so I’m guessing(hoping) it’s just one lazy person.

People say pets are easier than children, but when my kids crap their pants I throw the clothes away.

I just use my hand. As long as you buy decent bags its not an issue.
