What constitutes proper dog walking?

Wow all this about walking dogs!
I always carry doggy bags tied to their leashes, at least two each.

I also love some of the reasoning, poo in your own site, then tomorrow this site become yours!

Doggie diapers, these just make a mess out of the dog, and a big mess to get rid of, ever notice dogs don't need to wipe?

With the exception to urban sites, what wild animals, do you think pee and poo in your site every night. I have had sites on the Oregon Coast with deer scat in them, that and Coyote poo also.

Don't get me wrong pet owners need to be responsible and clean up after their pet,and keep them under control, but you are camping, not in a $200 a night hotel.

Oregon SP are now looking at a $10 a night Pet Fee, not so much opposed to a fee, but at $10, may "entitle" people to think it is to cover Poo pickup!!

Some of the reports I have read you might PREFER that to what is actually there!!!

Yep, seen some those reports on Hotel rooms. I travel for work and have never given it a second thought. Sheets and linens are washed, just as you and I do, some stains and markings, are still left, but the sheets are still "clean".

My thought around this whole issues, is that chemical companies, are doing far to much marketing! They have everyone scared to death about every living micro organism! Yes, I wash my hands after using the bathroom, and hooking up the stinky slinky, but don't use sanitizing hand wipes before picking up a sandwich, just because I touched a hand rail or door handle! Your body has a system to deal with this called your immune system! Use too many sanitizing wipes and the germs become stronger, and your system becomes weaker!

I have been around animals all my life, dogs cats, cows, horses and goats, and have never gotten a disease from them.
