How Often do you...

[SummerRiot]

Honestly now -

How large is your yard and how often do you scoop your pups poop up?

Who ends up doing it?

 

[jess2416]

I always have to do it, and I usually do it every other day....

Honestly i dont even remember the last time I did it (well at home. i do it at the boyfriends house all the time when I have my dog there). I'm fully willing to do it. But my grandpa walks up early and starts out by going out back and cleaning it up. Maybe its a habit of his. I tell him time and time again to leave it and i will clean it. I probably havnt done it in atleast 1.5 years. Lucky me lol

I usually do it, but sometimes my mom will. It gets done whenever I'm outside, so usually a few times a day. Our yard is mid-sized.

 

[savethebulliedbreeds]

I scoop poop EVERY day. I don't have much of a choice though considering I have 8 to clean up after hehe.

I'm too ashamed to say, lol. I can't reach much because the yard is a real forest and I can't see anything, but I do it more regularly in winter (usually once a week), when there aren't three feet high weeds all over...

We have a good size yard for the area we are in and I do it at least evrey 2nd or 3rd day.I only have a 5 pound pom so it doesent get that bad.

Reason # 43 why living on a farm is great. (and having small dogs, fed grain free, is a bonus)

 

[TopShelfPets]

about once a week. It's a decent sized yard and i've only got the one dog.

I always have bags with me when we go to the dog park or out for a walk or to someone elses house, that's just courtesy. But here? the grass needs the fertilization, so i only pick it up when we're about to mow the grass.

I only pick up after the dog if we go to town

 

[adojrts]

I have 3 dog runs, that the dogs stay in (if the weather is good) all day. The runs are 6 x 18 (2 of them) another run is 18 x 12. I clean them everyday and add fresh shavings once a week (most of the runs are grass but the shavings helps for the dirt areas). I use to have a decent sized dog yard at the back of the house, until a recent storm knocked down a bunch of trees and my fence lol) so now its small 20 x 20, it only gets cleaned once a week usually but it is only used to potty them quickly from the house.
All students have to pick up after their dogs AND take it home with them. I have to check the parking area and outside of the training rings because of my neighbors dogs which always leave deposites.

Students are told that IF they don't pick up after their dog, they get 1 warning, after that they are asked to leave and DON'T get a refund. Has not been a problem yet. I hate when folks don't pick up after their dogs.

I live in an apartment... so everytime they poop!

 

[BostonBanker]

My yard is about 5 square feet; I clean up on the very rare occasions Meg actually goes there. She conveniently prefers to go in the manure pile at the barn - Smart girl!

 

[MafiaPrincess]

Cider's taken to holding it unless desperate till we walk or go to the park.. If she goes in our yard I pick it up when it happens so it stays clean.

 

[Ladychaos]

Well since I live in an apartment I carry bright blue doggy poop bags in my purse lol. I clean up every time Coal goes. Also carry them on walks and at the dog park. When I lived at my mom's house I cleaned the yard every day or every other day.

 

[Zoom]

I live in an apartment complex, so I pick up after every deposit. I'm one of the few people who do.

 

[copperdogsmom]

I always clean after Teddy on our dailey walks.It is a pet peeve when people DO NOT clean after thier dogs.It makes all good dog owners look bad.

 

[DanL]

We have about 1/3 of an acre fenced in. I never clean up poop. Being raw fed, it disintegrates after a couple days.

 

[Southpaw]

About once a week. My brother is the one who does it, sometimes my dad picks it up if he's going to mow the lawn and my brother's not home. I'd say our yard is pretty decent sized...medium maybe.

If there's anything in the front yard though, that's my job. Good thing we usually don't let the dogs out front.

Winter is a completely different story because it all gets frozen to the patio LOL.

 

[ToscasMom]

Fortunately Tosca has only one area that she prefers to do things in, so finding it and cleaning up is pretty easy. I usually do it every other day.
