I did some training with Diesel yesterday (he's not allowed too much excercise at the moment) and picked up 11 yes 11! other peoples poo bags that had been tied but just abandoned - they obviously thought they were going to walk to the poo bin on their own!!!!

YIKES, I presume you mean clean bags in your jeans, not used ones!

I wonder if the people really intended to collect the bag on their way back, but either go a different way, or forget!
By the way, well done for collecting those bags yourself, and disposing them appropriately.

we have a roll shaped in a bone,that clips on the lead, and the other day, pappy did his business and i had ran out..but luckily there was aother dog walker who let me have a spare bag.
but i dont know about any of you lot, but, pappys poo resembles the size of horse poo.. using a crisp packet just isnt going to happen.. i was thinking of stocking up on peddle bin liners instead of poop bags. they will do the job better

Hippychick, sounds like you need to carry a shovel too!

Yes clean ones - ultra clean by the time they have come out of the washing machine

It makes me laugh when people ask to 'borrow' a poo bag. I'm always like 'mate you keep it I don't want that back!!'

I keep poo bags in the front porch, that way I always grab a handful before we set off. I've only run out once when Dex was poorly and did 7-8 poos during ONE hour of walking. I always said he was a little sh!tbag!

Once.

And Archie did a poo, at that.

All I could find was an old popsicle wrapper.

I can only thank God that he was only a tiny baby dog at the time. It was just after he got his last vaccination.

That's one of the joys of raw feeding- much smaller poos

My bags have been through the washing machine too - they seem to be in every pocket I own. I must admit though, I am sick of seeing other peoples bags tied up with contents and then dumped. If you left it to nature it would eventually go away - left in a bag it's not going anywhere. It was in one of my dog magazines a while ago about a team that went round a park and collected them all up and hung them all on one tree to make a point. They found over 200 tied bags.

Personally, I like the "stick and flick" policy they use in some of the woods I have visited - the trees are beautifully fertilised!!!

I once took my two dogs out ,at that time we had two. I only had 4 poop bags in my pocket, which would normally have been fine. Oh no, one of my dogs had the tummy run's and I ran out of bag's. In the middle of the field, she went again. My god what do I do now, I thought. Then I remembered. I had a split in my walking boots, so as I got ready to walk my dog's. It was raining, so I put a tescos bag on my foot and stuck it in my boot. So in the middle of the field in the pouring rain, I took my boot off pulled the bag off my foot, cleaned up the poo, and prayed no-one had seen me. Hurried home. In my car down to the town, to get poop bag's and a decent pair of boot's.
