Doggie Waste Disposal Systems

I had to look up Doggie Doolie to see what it was. OH MY. If you're going to all the trouble to pick up the dog poo and put it a hole in the ground of some sort, why not just keep it bagged up and toss in the trash. Done!

Not to mention, now you have another item in your yard you have mow around and trim around. What happens when the doggie septic tank get's full?

Here's a better solution:

Better yet:

I use a pooper scooper and a stainless steel kitchen trash can with lid. Put a plastic bag in the trash can and have it and the pooper scooper next to the storage shed. Every day I would walk the yard and pick up the droppings and put it in the trash can. The night before trash day I would take out and tie up the garbage bag, put in a new one, and place the full one in the trash can for pick up.

Every day after their morning bowel movement I just go out with a pooper scooper and a bucket and remove the waste. I put the waste in the same bag as confidential information I need to dispose of and into the trash. I don't want flies around the back yard because of the smell.

Not a big deal.

There are tablets you put in there to dissolve the waste.

I don't wish to see a trash barrel in my back yard every day. I also don't like the idea of adding any more trash to landfills-the bags don't dissolve for years if at all. Just looking for a more "green" solution.

I pick it up (or spread it around) about every week with the lawn mower.

We use 2 bags to pickup poop in our yard. One bag to pickup poop and then dispense it into second bag, tie the full bag and throw in trash.

This is exactly what I do. 2 big dogs plus 1 foster dog = lots of land mines if I don't stay on top of it.

Ditto!

Tried a doggy Dooley for my shepherd, the heavy clay soil preventing any perking of the digested poo liquid. It was NOT fun to remove the unit.

Thank you for actually answering the question. Your comments made me read a little more thoroughly. This note is on their website: "This system comes fully assembled; just place in an area with good draining soil. It's ideal for most soil conditions except heavy clay." Our foundation hole has just been dug and we suspected there would be a lot of clay in the soil. That was confirmed last night when we went to check it out! Again, thanks for your help.
