And it wouldn't be very fair to kill the 'right' animal either.

Its not a question of fairness, I need to, and will stop the problem, having to dodge dog poo every day is hardly fair either.

CCTV would work but it would requre time and investment, I think it would be far more efficient to put poison down.

The amount of times ive had to shampoo my house and car carpets and arrived at work smelling of poo and had to wash my shoes has given me all the 'perspective' I need.

Contacting the council after gaining CCTV evidence may work, as may confronting the dog walkers with your footage. However, if you are regularly stepping in dog poo the first step you need to take is looking where you walk.

And one would be a criminal offence and the other wouldn't...

Just stick a webcam out your window taking a photo every 10 seconds during average dogwalking hours ffs.

Well thats the really infuriating thing, I have to look where I walk all the time, as there is pretty much always poo on the pavement, when I go to work before its light, I have to illuminate the pavement with my mobile phone in order not to step in something.

You must be a troll. ****ing depraved.

How about you eat some of that poisoned food yourself? Just to make sure you never tread in any more dog poo. Think you'll have got the right 'animal' then.

It's got to the point where im seriously considering doing this, I'm well aware the dog owner is the issue, and not the dog, but I need to make this stop, so if it has to come to that, I'm prepared to do it.

You are prepared to kill somebodies dog because its owner lets it dump on the pavement outside your house?

Seriously?

Just.. wow.

Commiting a crime which would result in a custodial sentence because of dog muck on the pavement sounds like a really proportional response, well done :rolleyes:
 
Really, you can't see where you are walking? If it's a regular occurrence wouldnt taking more care be better?
Hopefully the poison bit was said in the heat of the moment, if not then why would you do that?
It's not the dogs fault that it's happening why punish it?

The last time I stepped in dog crap was probably when I was 13... how the hell does an adult manage to not only step in it, but seemingly from the OP step in it often? What, are you running around in long grass or something? :confused:
 
Why have we not had the stock reply of finding out the owner's address and pooping through their letterbox?
 
Whilst being a dog owner myself, the idea of putting poisoned food down horrifies me. Please, please, please don't do it. I know how annoying dog fouling is, but no matter how bad it is, putting the dog through pain and the owner through distress is not the way to go.

When I walk my dog, it amazes me the amount of 'mess' that is left behind. I have resorted to following another dog walker whilst walking mine to see if that person was the offender, but even in that case, being able to challenge them after the incident would not result in the solution being solved but no less a confrontation of sorts.

If the problem proves to be too much, then I am afraid the solution is that you will have to catch them on CCTV, and then submit that to the council for prosecution.

Owners that do not pick up, aren't doing it because they don't know its wrong, there are enough signs around the streets to tell you its wrong! They are doing it because they are lazy and are bad owners and no doubt would not give 'two bob' if you told them to pick up.

I might call the council and see if they can do anything, but I'm not 100% convinced thery would take any action.

Call the council and tell them you are going to put poison on the public pavement.

They'll take action then.

Because its all the time, seriously, its on a narrow pavement, and theres a fresh one almost every day. Its's often dark when I leave the house and its driving me crazy.
 
Poop outside your house before the dog does and mark your territory, the dog will be afraid of your alphaness and poop elsewhere.
 
So if it's when you leave the house how does it get in your carpet?? Do you just go out tread in a turd and come back in?
