Today, we are going to go over how to clean dog poop from grass the proper way. There is nothing worse than someone walking their dog, their dog poops on the grass, and they just keep walking without cleaning it up. That is really a pet peeve of mine. Well, for those people who are new to walking their dog or are new to having a dog as a pet, here are 3 proper ways to clean up dog poop from grass.
1-Put Dog Poop in Bags
After your dog has pooped:
Take a plastic bag
Put your hand inside the plastic bag
Pick up the poop with your hand inside the plastic bag
While holding the poop with your hand, pull the sides of the bag around the poop.
After your dog has pooped or unfortunately if another dog has pooped in your yard:
There are 2 main kinds of pooper scoopers on the market. One that has a small rake to flick the dog poop into the pet poop tray and one that scoops around the dog poop and picks it up (Jaw or claw scoop). I will show both ways.
Pooper Scooper with Small Rake
If available, put plastic bag inside pet poop tray
Put the pet poop tray behind the dog poop
While standing behind the pet poop tray, use the rake to scoop/flick the dog poop into the pet poop tray. Make sure that you don't flick too hard and get the dog poop on your shoes. If you are a hard flicker, you may want to stand off to the side.
Take plastic bag off of the pet poop tray, tie up the bag, and dispose of it in the garbage can
This is the old fashioned way of cleaning up dog poop. This is the way I had to do it 40 years ago. Use this method if you don't have access to the other 2 methods above. A small hand shovel works very well, but if you don't have one, you may have to use a regular sized spade shovel.
Either stand behind or to the side of the dog poop
