Just imagine how much worse it would have been had Canada Post not decided to make those stupid community mailboxes....the owners would have to walk their dogs through the ****. :P

i used to live in saskatoon and every dog owner i have ever encountered has had baggies with them to pick up after the dog.....since i have been in prince albert i have yet to see one person pick up their dog doodoo

my comment again was deleted and never got the answer to my question. is there a bylaw which enforces dog owners to pick up poo?

In the five years i have had my dog i have never failed to not pick up his poo.. as a teenager my parents said you want a dog you clean up after it.. i am disgusted walking my dog around other peoples dog crap.. not everyone forgets to or just doesnt wanna pick up their dog poo.. alot of people do.. but for those of us that do there are alot more people that dont and they ruin it for the rest.. people need to start paying attention and do what is needed to keep everywhere clean..

I for one am a dog owner who would never pick up my dogs feces. And it makes me laugh every time i see someone walking around with a bag of ****. real talk

You should walk through the Kinsmen park. It is disgusting AND there is doggie doo bags available. What we do need is more garbage cans so maybe people would be a bit more considerate. But I do agree on the massive fines.

A little dog poo never hurt anyone, I would rather step in a pile of crap than on a needle. Maybe PA might benefit from a few fenced dog parks?

There are some of us who do pick up after our dogs. My dog does not run free in everyone's yard and I have picked up every pile he has ever dumped. The riverbank is disgusting due to lazy dog owners and it seems to get worse every year. If you have a dog, clean up after it. Also, to those who leave it in their yard all winter and are too lazy to pick it up and put it in the garbage, you should be ashamed of yourself for being so filthy! Take some pride in your life and your yard and clean up! Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe there is a $50 fine for not picking up after your dog. If the bylaw officers weren't sitting in Tim's they could maybe hand out some tickets....

I clean up after my dogs should they go while i take them for a walk. i think owners should be responsible for their dogs, if you're not going to clean up after your dog, keep it in YOUR YARD!

I live right across from a park and have the same problem with people not picking up after their dogs. Its disgusting. For everyone that is to dignified to pick it up just remember that there are also children who play in the parks and having a bunch of dog poo around doesnt make it fun for anyone. There is nothing worse than playing a little football or frisbee and sliding into a big pile of dog %$#@!

To the dog owners who walk their dogs and let them onto other people's property to do thier "job"....
please accept responsibility for your pet, keep your pet on a lease, don't just stand there watching
fido mess up your neighbour's yard.

To R Kelly...you are about as smart as the dog poo that people don't want to step in!! You are what makes every responsible pet owner look bad. Shame on you...and keep your dog in your own yard!!

I am a dog owner and we clean up our dog's poo.

However, if you notice that on the rotary trail there are often huge distances between garbage cans to dispose of it. There is also the dog doo bags that they have near the bags, however, i have never once seen them full of bags. The one I am thinking of in paticular is the trail by highway 302 you hit a garbage on allbright crescent and you don't hit another garbage until you hit the Miller Hill water park. When you are trying to walk a dog and tend to children and carry dog poo that can be a long walk.

Avojuice - if its thats tough for you then it sounds like you need to leave one of those burdens at home. Dont expect our tax dollars to help make your evening walks more manageable. Deal with it.

DOG OWNER - It is not a BURDEN...but I am saying that if the City made it a little easier and garbage cans more accessible then perhaps we would not see the rotary trail full of dog poo...which it is.

I have lived in other cities and when I walk on their walking trails it appears that they have garbage cans every few hundred feet. I just think that again the City of Prince Albert needs to keep up with other Cities. However, logically I know that we never will.

Dog Owner:

Avojuice IS dealing with it....management of waste collection.

-- YOU must come to realize that it is NOT just paid for by OUR tax dollars.

-- How many tourists visit the city and see the poo not being cleaned up want to walk around our city.

One thing I've always wondered about PA...there's never a garbage can (or a cop) around when you need one! A few strategically placed garbage cans would cut down on littering of all kinds. However, there are those ppl, and they know who they are, that wouldn't pick up their dog's poo under any circumstances, but instead leave it behind as a fecal boobytrap for unwary pedestrians. There's a special place in Hell for the likes of them. ;)

I agree with this person's frustration. I would like to see a crackdown on people throwing beer bottles out. There is a deposit for the bottles on return. I had a bottle actually thrown and smashed on my doorstep. My son stepped out and had his foot gashed. That is one time we wished it was actually dog dropping. I agree there should be a fine for people not picking up after their pets. Cats are another headache. Love your cat, keep it home. Do not allow it to do its business in neighbor's flower beds and garden's. There is nothing more disgusting than digging into that mess either.

You know, for about $5 you can buy a little container full of dog doo bags at Walmart that attachs neatly to your leash so you always have a bag to clean up after fido...and if you can walk your dog, you can carry the full bag to the next garbage can.

i agree if people are going to have dogs they are best to look after there dogs and when walking how hard is it to take plastic bags to pick it up. why have a dog if not going to clean up after the dog. i hate taking kids for a walk and have to see then step in it or myself get the stroller all full of dog poop or u have to pick it up so the next person doesnt step in it. if u arent going to do that then why have a dog.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could video tape them, find out where they live, then have by laws enforcement fine them? I would love that. People who don't clean up after their dogs are disgusting, lazy pigs.
