Pick Up Immediately
Being proactive about picking up helps to ensure that you are always cleaning up after your dog, right when you need to. Cleaning up quickly will avoid forgetting, any messy accidents or difficulty during the pick up process. This is also a great habit to get into particularly for newer dog owners who aren’t so used to cleaning up dog poop as a part of their everyday routine.
Dispose In The Right Places
Be attentive and dispose of your dog poo in the right spot, wherever you’re talking your walks. If you don’t have an appropriate waste bin on hand, wait until you are back home to dispose of your biodegradable poop bags.
Sanitise or Wash Hands
You might want to wash your hands or use a hand sanitiser after picking up your dog poop. The right bags will ensure that none of your skin makes contact with your dog’s waste, but you might want that extra level of cleanliness just for peace of mind if nothing else, it’s all dependent on your personal preference.
Keep Treats Handy
Having treats on hand will help to reinforce the positive habit of your dog popping whilst you’re out and about on your walks. This is another great use for your waist attachable pouch!
Have a Kit At the Ready
Investing in a walking kit will ensure that you always have exactly what you need on hand, whenever you’re about to head out the door. A walking kit gives you everything you could possibly think of for blissful, clean and convenient everyday walks.
