Walking Your Dog Responsibly

"I am walking the dog" has always been a catchy
phrase. However, it is also a true one for dog
owners. While many pet owners prefer to walk
their pet around the corner, or down the block,
others prefer a more traditional stroll in the
park. Taking animals to the park to run around
is probably just as popular as parents, taking
their children to the park to swing. The one
tool that pet owners should take with them
whenever they take their dog for a walk is the
dog park equipment, known as the pooper-scooper.
This valuable piece of equipment should never be
left behind. Dogs do not care where they are
when they use the bathroom, and in some parks,
dog owners might get a huge fine. Cleaning up
behind the pet is the owners' responsibility.

However, the majority of parks in the world are
pet friendly. They make animal lovers want to
bring their pet to the park. Park management has
placed dog waste receptacles at various spots
throughout the parks. This makes it easier for
the owners to take their pet's waste and put it
in the proper container. Parks are nice, and
they attract many kinds of people, including
birds and other wildlife. This is the safest
place for kids otherwise parents would keep them
at home. When families come to the park, the last
thing they want to do is step in some poop. This
is why having pet waste stations located
throughout various parks is so important. It is
also a safety measure for humans. As some
children are curious and likes to put everything
they can in their mouths, as this is part of the
toddlers characteristic.

Placing dog waste inside the proper container
is the best way to protect little ones and
animals from getting sick. Not every park is pet
friendly or eco friendly, and when pet owners
find a park that will let their pet come in and
feel at home, they should treat it with respect.
As always, human safety is at the beginning of
each action that park managers and state
officials implement. When pet owners work
together with park managers and others they will
find that they can keep their parks looking
great. It is a great feeling to go to a place
where dog waste bags and dispensers are free to
use. The only thing the owner has to do is clean
up their pet waste before they leave the area.

This is an idea that many dog lovers may want
to integrate at home. This will help keep the
yard and lawn free from flies, nets and other
insects that may be attracted to animal waste.
Dogs are not like cats they do not cover up
their exertions. Therefore, it would be easy for
someone to accidentally put one of their feet
into a pile of dog feces. With a waste bag and
dispenser in the back yard, it will be easy to
keep a clean yard. This is a small investment to
make and well worth it.
