Today. I was driving west on Rivercrest Blvd and as I passed Valleycrest Ct, I watched a woman walking three Labrador Retrievers on the sidewalk. One of her dogs squatted and dropped a Lab sized deuce on the sidewalk / grass at the corner home. She simply stepped around the pile and kept walking. I was so incensed that I had to snap a pic of her. She stopped and asked what I was doing and I told her I'd been looking for the person letting large dogs relieve themselves on everyone's lawns and she just scowled and continued on her walk. From what I gather from neighbors, she's a chronic problem in the neighborhood. The homeowner may even take my photos to the police because he's always cleaning up after her dogs. I hope someone recognizes this pic and speaks to her.

Good for you! We live by Vaughan Elementary and their are people every day that let their dogs run free in the school yard and poop every where. Then the next day the kids are out at recess stepping in all of it.
I walk our dog daily and always carry a "doggy bag".
It happened twice on one walk awhile ago so now I carry 2.
Can't imagine what her back yard looks like with 3 large dogs.

I agree that it's pretty disgusting. When I walk my pup I always pick up after him but many people don't.

I wish that people would clean up after their dogs. It always seems that it's the big dogs that people don't clean up after. I have a little guy and always pick up his mess.

A little shame will hopefully turn this situation around without getting APD involved.

That is a shame. Remember, it isn't the dog's fault. It is the owner. My mom had a situation similar to this years ago and used a plastic bag to hurry and pick it up then caught up with the dog walker and told her that she forgot something and handed her the bag. She explained that she did not appreciate the owner not picking up after her dogs and politely asked her to pick up after her dogs from then on.

or make it a point to let your dog grind a root in her yard every morning.

Good work PartyOfEight!! I have 3 poodles that I walk and always carry a number of bags with me. I always pick up after them. I have been working in my yard when dogs come by and poop. Some people pick it up and others I have to stare at or say something to. Some grudgingly pick up but only because someone caught them. I like you posting the pictures - if logic/good manners doesn't convince them, maybe shame will. Of course I have met some nasty dog owners before - feel sorry for the dogs.
