Dog poop on our doorstep

I live near a beach and dogs often run wild pooping everywhere owners do not pick up the poo I also kayak so sliding out into the water in the kayak takes some effort and you are head height for a dog dog owners let the dog run right into my face no cares. All dogs are supposed to be on leads on this beach !
My sign sniper killing dogs not on leads seems to have halped a little but I still have them firmly in my sights just let them off the lead on the beach cos my triger finger is twitchin buddy

If you have someone in your street whose dog is pooping everywhere every day, then post it back through their letter box in the middle of the night, bet they soon start to clean it up.

Hi Pugs! Boy do I empathise with you! It's terrible the disrespect SOME dog owners show to other human-beings. Another thing (a little off topic) that disgusts me is how some dog owners when walking toward you with their dog, fail to "reel the dog in" just a bit - so that if said dog is inclined to jump up on you, he CAN! And the dog owner NEVER apologises or even acts like it matters after one's clothing is marked with mud or paw prints. The next time this happens to me, I am going to scream as loud as I can: "CAN'T YOU CONTROL YOUR $%&*$%£ DOG!!!!!!?????????" and hope it makes an impression.
I hope you get the poop situation fixed. You ought to rub the owner's nose in it if you find out who it is. ;o))

I walk the streets of my town daily and it is still common for dog owners to allow their dogs to foul the paths and in some areas it has got worse despite the laws that are in place.

I have seen incidents where there is dog dirt not even a 100 yards away from a bin that has been designed for such a purpose; kids regularly use path and nearby fields to play and walk to school. Not only is this act of letting a dog foul paths inconsiderate and disgusting, it is dam right dangerous as doggy dirt can cause health problems in children, including blindness.

So dog owners, please be considerate.

Or plant some 'coleus canina' in the garden. Also known as 'the pee-off plant'. Just wish there was a 'sod off stupid' plant for the dog's owner...

Pugs - just had a thought. One way round it might be to make the area unattractive to use as a toilet. Dogs usually 'go' where other dogs have been but there might be a way to put them off. Pouring vinegar over the ground helps, as does spinkling pepper. There's also a product called 'renardine oil' which dogs hate the small of.

Hope it helps!

Went into town yesterday and noticed 5 piles of dog mess, of varying age and colour. It's just digusting - I hate having to always keep my eyes on the pavement and it's tricky when there are lots of people around and you're trying to jump over it.

The worst 'pile' was on the pier, by the sea. Can't believe some selfish individual just left all that for some little kid to step in. It's hard to get off wooden boards as well.

Would CCTV help? Or do these selfish people come out at night when they think they won't get caught? Sick of it.

any dog owner not cleaning up after their dog should have the dog taken from them and be banned from ever owning a dog again, this extreme legilation should clean up the pavements a bit and prevent diseases that they dont give a s**t about. dirty filthy cretins that they are.

Nikki, god knows how you believe it to only be the "male" of the human species that urinates in an alley.

I've seen my fair share of drunk "female" humans squatting behind taxis, parked cars, walls and alleys.

What a stupid bye law that stops you putting dog poo in dog bins if your dog has done it in your own garden - I refuse to abide by the law

I agree anonymous. I am a huge dog lover, but I absolutely hate stepping in the stuff. Worse still is when we are biking along the canals. you cannot see the dog turds in the long grass, and when you bike over them your tyres become embedded with dog poo which you have to blast out with a hose, invariably spraying yourself with dog-pooey water. Lovely ... not.

I take my dog with me on bike rides, and watch him like a hawk. Whenever he does a poo, I stop and pick it up with the bags I carry tied to my bike handles. People are truly disgusting, I quite agree.

Dog mess is disgusting, I am not a dog owner but if I was I would clean up after it. I went out for a country walk with my children today and every few feet there it was dog s##t! I expect horse and cow mess but not that! Why can these people get away with leaving dog mess for others to step in?
