    Good to see, a responsible dog owner. That's just the kinda ignorant attitude we like to see...

    Just pick up after your fcuking dogs. Your dogs your fcuking problem!

    I always pick up after my dog, keep finding the scented bags I use in all my bags and pockets haha.

    Although I don't think I would challenge someone else.... I would probably throw them a filthy but I don't think I would be confident enough to say something to them.

    We had problems with dogs doing their business outside our house ....

    Then one day , I saw a dog doing this ( on it's own ) .....I went out , picked the sh1t up ( in a bag ) followed the dog back it's house . I knocked on the door , and handed the bag to the owner.

    Never had the problem since !

    You should take a walk in St. Annes Park or Dollymount strand, they are covered in Dog Poo. It's a disgrace given that those areas are frequented by kids playing and it's dangerous too. Those areas should be monitored properly and the owners fined if caught. There are signs everywhere that say "No Dumping" I'd like to think that applied to dogs also!

    Why on earth did you get 3 dogs if you already knew you were so incompetent and could not take care of them.

    I hope to god you have gotten a vasectomy/hysterectomy, if you can't even take care of a dog...

    The law says it's someone's responsibility to clean up after their dog, not that it's a problem for them, though if someone gets caught that is a problem.
    The dogs are cared for brilliantly, much better than the average.
    No, my seed is flowing grand.

    OK that's what I'm after. However since other people are a little non plussed as to what I'm getting at how far would you have gone if he had insisted he had no idea what you were talking about? Would you go so far as to call the guards? Or would that be too much?

    The reason I asked is because I found a nice little gift outside my gate this evening. I didn't see who did it but I was so mad I started to think what I would have done had I seen them or if they had played dumb when confronted.

    Call the gards!? Over a bit of dog shít in your garden or in a park? Wtf is wrong with you people. Have you nothing more important to worry about than a dog having a shít in a green area?

    And just to add, I have dogs (big dogs) myself and they're picked up after, but I'd lose no sleep if someone let their dog take a shít in my garden. It's not doing any damage. With a quick flick of the shovel, it's gone!

    Yup, you sound like an arsehole. Which is incidentally the issue in this case.

    Some lads dog sh*t near on our green so my Dad asked him to move it but the guy ignored him.

    So my dad picked it up, went around to the guys house and threw it in the garden :)

    Oh I forgot to mention in my first post that I live in the middle of the country and walk my dogs through fields and wild woodland, the very few times one has done the business in a town or public land would have been one of the rare times I did pick up.

    I pick up after my dog but what amazes me is I still get the abuse off people.

    One person shouted at my wife had she read the sign over there, she read the sign (the one about dogs pooing and there being a fine). He then followed her in his car! I had a word with him when she pointed out who he was.

    Teenager regularly scream and laugh at me as I clean up after the dog.

    A woman stopped on the other side of the road and watched me to see if I would pick up after my dog. There is a bag holder on the lead.

    Another woman, as I was picking up, started yelling at me how disgusting it was and that I shouldn't let him do it on her road. Dogs aren't welcome. Same road I lived on for 9 years with my dogs.

    So if you are going to tell people to pick up get it right.

    For anybody who is bothered by it: Why not carry a bag when your out for a walk or whatever? If you come across some dog poo pick it up yourself.

    I dont have dogs anymore but i did clean up after them whenever it had to be done, but seeing dog poo doesn't bother me. It's everywhere and a fact of life now just like the gum stuck to every footpath in the country.

    If it's in my garden i'll pick it up myself, but my neighbour is getting a bit obsessed and sits by his window and shoots any dog in his garden with a bb gun, which seems to be working :)

    I got abuse a few years ago from a woman after one of my females squatted for a pee in a park, she hated dogs and didn't know them very well and thought she had left something a bit more solid. :)

    A friend of ours who was continually having someone's dog sh*te just at his front gate , put up a sign - ' WARNING TO F*CKING ****TING DOG OWNERS, IF I CATCH YOU I'LL MAKE YOU EAT YOUR DOG'S SHYTE'! it worked believe it or not.

    If it was my property definitely, on the grass is one thing but right in the middle of the path where you know someone is going to walk in it pisses me off.

    Been years since I've had the misfortune of stepping in dog ****e and then what to do with your shoe when you get home, I never feel like my shoe is ever really "clean" after that.

    Why would someone call the guards over a dog crapping on the street ? How is it a guards job ? Have they nothing better to be doing that that ? If I was a guard and someone came and told me that a dog had crapped on the street I would tell them to go and inform the council or litter warden.

    That makes it a very different story then so.

    Taking a dump in a field in the country is grand, and I say that as a former bogger (always at heart) myself.

    Does anybody tell people who have the listed dangerous breeds that the dog can't be outside without a muzzle on? My dog was attacked by a pit bull that was off a lead and without a muzzle. It tried to rip his throat out it took about 2 minutes to get the dog to release him.

    I ring the guards if I see one off a lead now.

    Yeah i agree, but they dont obviously otherwise there wouldn't be a problem.
    My point is would you pick it up even though its not your dogs? Or would you walk past and tut tut tut....

    I wouldn't but as i said it doesn't bother me

    You scrape it off with a knife, but don't forget to put the knife in the dishwasher before you eat with it.

    Its doesn't bother me at all. I'm after standing in so much of it over the years I would feel weird walking home wihouth standing in some shyte.
    If someone complained to me about it I would pick it up, depending on how the said it. If it was some Muppet acting a hard man I'd tell him to go fook himself. My little dog only pisses on all the trees, no craps on footpath. Only got him last week so haven't had him crap on path yet.

    I think it's really only an issue where there is a common area that is used by other people so this would be fine in my opinion.

    What difference does it make whether I'd pick it up or not? It doesn't take from the fact that the owner should and that they should be strung up when caught. It's dangerous to say the least.

    Nothing like the feeling of pride seeing your dog produce a nice, warm, soft steaming pile of ****e on the fottpath while people look on.

    I've never confronted anyone on it per se, though I have stopped in my tracks to see if a dog owner was going to do anything about their dogs s.hit. It was outside my mum's house, and she has a pain in the tits with dogs crapping outside her place. The owner saw I was watching and took out a bag with a face on her. I'd say if I didn't wait she'd have left it there.

    There's a scenic route that I take if I want to go for a walk, well it is if you don't look down. On one particular stretch of path it's particularly bad, I think everyone in the town takes their dog to shit there. My stomach actually churns if I see crap on the ground, it really is disgusting, and it's unfair to others that have to use the path.
