How to be prepared to scoop the poop. Yes, there really is a better way to position yourself for this chore. If you have a dog, cleaning up after them is a reality. It is a necessary task, and it is our responsibility as dog owners to do so. Check out this video that shows what I take on my dog walks to be prepared to scoop the poop. I am still able to enjoy long walks with my dogs without flinging a bag of poop around for the rest of the walk.
In this video, you will see how I use a
mini tote bag to carry all the essentials to be prepared to scoop the poop. These beautiful bags are made by my friend Kimberly at the
Salty Compass. You can go to her Etsy shop to get one of these
tote bags and start making your dog walks much more enjoyable.
Getting More Comfortable With Scooping Poop
Have the right stuff with you to scoop the poop. Walk out the door prepared every single time with your dog. Even if your dog pooped 2 hours ago and you think there is no way he or she is going to poop again, be prepared. The one time you don’t think they will poop is the one time they will. It’s Murphy’s Law, right?
Here’s How To Be Prepare To Scoop Poop
Have your dog on a regular leash (not a retractable one). Have poop bags, a flashlight, a couple of paper towels or hand wipes, and dog treats and toys, especially if in the middle of training your dog. Carry all of these items in a
mini tote bag. This way, you have all the supplies needed for scooping poop without the embarrassment of flinging a full bag of poop around in your hand until you get to the trash can.
And you don’t have to buy expensive colorful scented poop bags unless you want to. Here are some things you can use that you might already have around your house:
* Plastic grocery bags
* Plastic produce bags
* Plastic newspaper bags
* Plastic sandwich bags
And if you are sending your kid out to walk the dog, make sure you have taught them to scoop the poop. Make sure he or she walks out the door each time with the right supplies to do their duty.
Join the movement, spread the word, and learn how to be prepared to scoop the poop and scoop the poop.
Be comfortable with it and be prepared to do it.
