It takes me 10 minutes to do the school run,but on our short journey we have to dodge atleast 10 piles of dog muck :mad:
Why cant dog owners take responsability and pick this mess up !
I dont have anything against dog owners just the ones who leave their dogs muck all over the footpaths !
I feel better for getting that off my chest but i will be dodging it again in the morning !

I am with you on this one, I had to dodge a couple of piles of muck on the shourt journey from my car to school the other day, not easy with three little 'uns trying to make sure they all miss it, luckily they managed it. Can't understand why people just cannot clean up after their dogs, i wouldnt dream of leaving its mess in the street
 
I think the more `dog bins` that i see , the more dog mess i see.......................odd that, just clean up the crap please dog owners
 
I pestered (by phone and email)-
the local environmental health dept
the dog warden
- both visited me more than once

I emailed -
Peter Britcliffe(HBC)
Councillor McLoughlin - who came to see for herself
Dorothy Westell (LCC)

I was interviewed by The Observer who did an article on page4
(I am not page3 material :D)
I featured on billboards as 'the dogdirt vigilante' :D

There is a 'waiting list' for dog bins - get on it.
After about an 18 months wait and pester I now have TWO dog bins near my home and I see people using them

Slightly different, but i find it annoying when people put their cats out to do "their business" outside so they go to the toilet in other peoples gardens. I have to check the garden every morning when the weathers nice before i can let the boys play outside, its really irritating
 
I live in a house with a shared garden, there's six of us sharing, and one of the neighbours own a rabbit which they let roam the garden 100% of the time.
There is a pile at least a foot deep full of rabbit dropping and nobody seems to think that it needs cleaning up.
When it was mentioned by another neighbour the response was there's a dustpan and brush on top of the hutch!!!

That is anti-social behaviour - report it to your landlord
 
just got the details to report it to there's !!
i have a cat and would never dream of letting her do her business in the garden

fair enough if it wasn't shared... but there are others to think about, and children.
 
My flat has shared lawn areas. One of the four of us in this block got himself a Jack Russell puppy. He is disabled so could not take it for walks. He just opened the door to let it out to perform. After 3 weeks I counted 21 heaps of crap - I marked them all with sticks and posted him a curt note pointing out that dogs were not allowed according to the tenancy agreement.
He picked up all the crap and gave away the dog.
You have to be firm and stand by your rights.
 
just out of interest, when i lived in Stockport n District 8/9 years ago, the local council used to provide bags to pick the crap up, was only there about 7/8 months but seemed very effective to me.
 
Most councils will provide poop bags free of charge,but you have got to go into their offices.these people that let their pooches poo anywhere and cant be bothered to bend down and pick it up,wont be bothered to call into their council offices for free poop bags.
its just a pity more people dont get prosecuted for allowing their dogs to foul in any public area
 
They do that here in Tenerife, Cashman. There are at least six poo bag dispensers here in our village or you can call into the Council Office and ask for them. It works really well and most people take advantage of them and do use them. Including us for our Cocker Spaniel as I wouldn't dream of not picking up after her. We live across from a primary school and I'd hate to think of some poor child falling into it.

Maybe it could be put to Hyndburn as an incentive, Margaret.
 
ty was getting poo on his shoes everyday on the way to school because of all the leaves, he was wading through them (as kids do) and there was poo hidden underneath and no one was shifting the leaves..

last week he got new shoes and stood in poo the first day he wore them (trust me, pregnancy nausea and cleaning up dog poo doesnt go together)

on the half hour walk to school there is one dog poo bin and that hasnt been there long somettimes we see bagged up poo thats been thrown on the floor
 
Mind you what do we really expect from some members of the human race, how many times do you see on the animal programs, the state of some houses were the owner can't be bother when there dog use the kitchen as a toilet and they can't be bothered to pick it up. Not much chance of them picking up after their dogs when they're out is there, when they can't be bothered to doing in heir own home, sorry pig sty
 
I have been out today for the 1st time in several weeks, and crossing the grass verge to my car I found two heaps - and this is within 10 paces of a very visible red dog bin:eek:

Hopefully this recession will have a positive side when people decide that they would rather feed themselves than a dog, so that dog ownership goes down.

There are a lot of people walk their dogs on our estate Margaret, I often look out of my kitchen window and watch dog owners and their dogs, I have only seen own owner not pick up after his dog and he got told so, he didn't like it when I said I knew where he live, so he fiddled around in his pocket and manage to find something to clean up after is pooch, he did give me a wave as he walked away, well if you can call it a wave with two fingers:D
