Dog owners -? for you

lala5507 · July 2012

What do you use to scoop the poop? We've been using a regular shovel for years but there has to be a better way. I feel like it takes me forever to pick up the pile without picking up the yard too.

My hubby uses this thing that's a long stick with a rake like piece at the bottom. You attach a plastic bag (the grocery store ones) to the bottom before starting and the poop goes right in. I think it was about $30 and I went nuts when he bought it but he doesn't mind cleaning up after our dog anymore so I guess it was worth it!

a pooper scooper!

Scooper Pans with Rake or Spade

like the one on the left- but I prefer the "spade" over the rake. But my old one broke and the pet store I went to to replace it only had rakes (and it is a weak rake). I have been using something similar for a long time. Like 8 years.

We use one of these things. It works well...at least DH says it does!

I feel like a very unclassy dog owner...I use a walmart bag and my hand. I mean, my hand IN the walmart bag, of course. Then I flip it inside out, tie it off, and drop it in the garbage.

Yep, I like to scoop as they go so we don't have large piles.

I use a little shovel, like one you would use to dig a hole to plant flowers.

I'm fortunate enough that I can just toss it over the hill (into the woods) behind my house so I don't really need a bag. Otherwise I'd do that.
