Dog-Doo Disposal Devices

Posted 02.20.2002 by Sarah (91)
You all know how it is: You're out walking your dog, and suddenly (though not unexpectedly) he does what dogs tend to do -- he goes doo-doo. Makes Number Two.

Enjoy the unrivaled convenience of flinging dog poo without actually having to touch it.
Whatever you want to call it. Basically, he takes a big ol' crap right in the middle of the neighbor's yard.

At this point, you have a choice of paths. You can ignore the deed, and try to pass it off as the work of some other uncouth bastard -- something which I admit to having done in the past (though my dog was so small I probably could have claimed it was squirrel poo).

Or you can take the neighborly high road, and utilize some sort of variation on the Pooper Scooper (preferably not your hand and a baggie) to dispose of the mess yourself.

Well, apparently the good ol' Pooper Scooper was not good enough for some people. So they've created Flip-A-Do -- a marvel of product naming that rivals even Pooper Scooper for descriptiveness and humor value. (I'd also like to point out that, according to my friend Corey, the word "flipado" means "stoned" in Spanish. Ha ha! Even better.)

With Flip-A-Do ("The By-Product Product") you can easily dispose of your dog's business by using the device to flick it into a handily attached plastic bag. Lest you doubt the capabilities of the Flip-A-Do, their marketers helpfully point out that this thing is "a very powerful device, capable of knocking a golf ball over thirty feet."

This is more embarassing for Fido than that doggie sweater Grandma made him wear last Christmas.

They further tout its usefulness in picking up golf balls or gathering nuts or fruit, something which I sincerely hope would be done with an entirely separate Flip-A-Do than the one used for your dog.

However, remember I said that when it comes to picking up poop, you have a choice of paths? The third choice is to not take the path at all, thanks to the patented Dog Diaper.

All I have to say about this one is, download the video demonstration. The dog in the movie has got to be particularly idiotic as he appears not to notice that he is pooping into a bag strapped to his butt.

I have never picked up a piece of dog shit in my life unless the dog shit in the house. When I had a dog he shit all over the backyard, and I just went out their everyday and poured lime over the piles. I would buy bags of lime around November and keep them in the back of my pick up truck all winter to have some weight back their for when the roads were icy. Spring, summer and fall I would lime the dog turds. It made the grass so thick and green.

I just have the dog do it in someones yard whom I dont like.

javi (not verified) -- 02.20.2002

was that a dog-dick-diaper attachment to catch his pee? how bizarre. I imagine it makes a big mess after he runs around alot. If I was a dog and my owner tried this shit on me, I'd bite his ass.

This is dog abuse. I'm calling the ASPCA.

thales (not verified) -- 02.21.2002

This shows that even the most insane idea gets credit in the states. Next one out with diapers should be police horses tho.....

Bob Costas (not verified) -- 02.21.2002

Hey Thales, Norway leads the world in Gold Medals at the Olympics. What have you got to say?

agent #2 (not verified) -- 02.21.2002

Do they make the dog diaper for people?

Matt (75) -- 02.25.2002

uh yea (depends) available in fine stores near you

julie (not verified) -- 10.02.2002

where the heck can I find a heavy duty poop scooper?

Di Uhreea (409) -- 07.20.2003

OMG, the jazzy music to the video for the Dog Diaper is really catchy......had me tapping my toes the whole time!!

Thats what you think! (not verified) -- 11.08.2003

Yeah, well I have 2 older dogs in the house who can't hold either one in anymore. I sure as hell don't want to get rid of my dogs dammit. I just can't believe that there's only one diaper on here for dog crap. Lots of stuff for pee though.

The poor Doberman! He looks so upset!

My neighbor's mutt used to come shit in my yard, until he accidently got a belly full of gopher bait that I put out for stray pooping dogs!

Xena (not verified) -- 08.22.2005

While on the subject...any advice on how to stop my miniature daschund from eating the cat poo from the litter boxes???? :-)

ADC (not verified) -- 10.28.2005

does anyone know if there's any sort of powder or something that i can put on the grass so the dogs stop shitting everywhere? I just want them to do it in one spot. Thanx!!!

The Shit Volcano (3737) -- 10.28.2005

We are still trying to do that at the Volcano Rancho. Not sure what to tell you other than to put something uncomfortable in the areas you don't want them to go, like a small chicken wire fence.

I hate dogs!!!!!!! (not verified) -- 12.31.2005

WHy, Why, Why. Everywhere I move the f...... dog shit in my yard!!!!!!! People with dogs need to have more consideration for other human beings. I have three children and they are always stepping in dog shit! I am sick and tired of it. The other problem that is people who have dogs always take them somewhere else to shit because they don't want the shit around them!!!

Isegana (not verified) -- 05.07.2006

Can I just dig a hole in my yard to put my dogs poop in, then covers it with lime? It would prevent smell-and save the planet-no plastic bags!

GottaGoGirl (2615) -- 05.08.2006

Do you mean dig a hole every day for that day's poop? Or do you mean dig a LARGE hole and fill it up over time? Either way, it sounds like too damn much work; if you're going to collect the poop, anyway, why not just throw it in the trash? We have a pooper scooper and a small bucket. Once a day, someone (someone ELSE if I can help it!) goes out and collects the poop in the bucket, then throws it in the big trashcan. Why go about digging holes in your yard into which you could trip? Dog poop is NOT a good fertilizer, either, by the way.

Double Flush (598) -- 05.08.2006

I'm from the middle of nowhere where dogs have free range to go into the fields just outside the yard and do what they need to do. In the city, though, it looks like a pooper scooper or the new device would be the only way to go... unless you hate the neighbors *evil grin*

Practicing the ancient Chinese art of double flushing... because sometimes, a single flush just isn't enough.

daphne (3512) -- 05.08.2006

I did an article on new doggy disposal systems. You can read about it from the link on my stories list. The Doggy Doolie System is that big hole in your back yard. I'm thinking of getting one now that we have our own home.....

Figures. We've got a dog. The dog has a yard. The yard has clay soil. Sigh.

Phil (not verified) -- 12.26.2006

Why do people pick up their dogs shit in a plastic bag and then, either throw it in the hedge, or worst still, hang it from a tree?

I don't understand the logic; how long do they thing it will take a plastic bag to degrade or who do they think is going to come along and remove it!

They might a well leave it where it was and at least it would degrade over a shorter time!

GottaGoGirl (2615) -- 12.26.2006

Because, Phil: in most cities it is ILLEGAL to leave your dog's crap on the ground (in public). Otherwise, there would be crap EVERYWHERE, and people would step in it, tracking it into homes, business, vehicles. The ENTIRE WORLD would stink of shit. THAT'S WHY YOU PICK IT UP!

Your own back yard can be as nasty as you like, I suppose. Can't have many get-togethers out there, but, whatever.

Picking up the poop in the plastic bags is just expedient. How else are you going to remove crap from the sidewalk? I have no idea why people would hang it from a tree. I'm sure that's illegal, too, but the dog owners who do that are asswipes who probably resent not being allowed to leave dog shit anywhere they want to.

How does that logic grab you?
