Yes, It Is Possible To Position Yourself Better For This Chore of Scooping Poop!

Do you get embarrassed if your neighbors or cars driving by see you carrying a plastic bag filled with poop, or maybe you've attached it to your dog's leash so you don't have to carry it? If so, read on or watch the video to learn how to carry scooped dog poop without embarrassment. 

Scooping our dog's poop is a necessary task, and it is our responsibility as dog owners to do so for health reasons. And because no one wants to see it, smell it, or step in it! 

First, here's a quick funny story. My neighbor Sue saw me at a restaurant one night and commented that she often saw me walking my big dog and carrying a cute little purse. That 'cute little purse' is my 'scoop poop' bag

A 'Scoop Poop' tote bag is perfect because after you've scooped poop into a plastic bag, just throw it in your 'scoop poop' tote bag, and people will never even know you are carrying poop until you can get to a trash can for proper disposal. 

Be Prepared To Scoop Poop, Every Time

Having your 'Scoop Poop' tote bag right by the door will always have you prepared. No matter who is on dog walking duty, you, or maybe your kid or spouse, they can grab the bag and be ready to scoop on the walk too. Having the right stuff with you to scoop poop will make the task much easier. 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 they will poop again, be prepared! The one time you don't think they will poop is the one time they probably will. 

What Goes In The 'Scoop Poop' Tote Bag?

Have poop bags, a flashlight, a couple of paper towels or hand wipes, dog treats, and a toy, especially if you are in the middle of training your dog. Carry all of these items in your mini tote bag. This way, you have all the supplies needed for scooping poop without the embarrassment of flinging a whole load 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 that you can use for scooping poop:

* Plastic grocery bags

* Plastic produce bags

* Plastic newspaper bags

* Plastic sandwich bags
