What constitutes proper dog walking?
I'm curious, having read some comments about walking dogs to poop in front of a site...
When I take my dog for a walk in a park with paved roads bordered by grassy sites I encourage my dog walk on the edge of the grass. The pavement is sometimes very hot! Usually we get to the open area meant for her to use, but occasionally it happens on the way, along the edge of the road, in the grass.
It's not deliberate OR nasty on my part; when ya' gotta go, ya' gotta go. I ALWAYS pick it up. Always. If someone is outside at the site I'll apologize. It never occurred to me before that someone may have thought I was just being a selfish pig.
Folks who don't own pets: you DO know that most of them don't poop on command, right?
Anyway, do you think there's a better way to handle the situation? Sites next to a dog run are not always available.
