I have 9 dogs currently – all except 3 will “snack” if not watched. Two of my previous dogs were the same way. I’ve found the dogs that I’ve had since they were pups are not the ones that ‘clean up’ – it’s always the older and the rescues. I think they probably got the habit when there was very little to eat.
I’m trying 3 different ‘cures’ – the potty mouth pills, feeding them bananas and telling them ‘drop it’ when I’m in the yard with them. keep on truck’n . . . .

Yes Lou....there might be some rude people out there that don't use bags but I am not in that category. I am not a slob that has to worrry about a cop making me pick it up. I have been very ill lately and not able to walk the dogs as often as I would like to, so I put them in the yard and clean it up VERY OFTEN (guess I missed one). I wasn't looking for instructions on how to use the doggie bags. I asked if anyone has heard of this behavior that I found in Sparky this evening. I wondered if anyone has had this happen and if it might be a deficiency of some kind....possably in his diet? WOW....If I had known I was going to be slammed for asking a question, I wouldn't have done so!

We take them out on leash with sandwich bags in pockets. Dog assumes position, drops load, and human moves dog to one side and putting bag on hand, reaches down and picks up log. Stands up and removes bag from hand and turns it other side out. Picking up immediately prevents problems and keeps us in training for outside the yard where there are some cops who have a real joy in making slobs pick it up with or without baggies! Good luck!

Now, I am going to ask a rather "sick sounding question". Have any of you had a problem with your dogs eating dog poop? (Dr. Oz says poop so I guess I can too) Tonight I let Sparky out and he was there longer than normal. I went out and he dropped one. I called him and he wouldn't come in...so I went out to get him. I was about 5' away from him and he had a devilish look on his face, and picked it back up. He gestured that he was going to run past the left side of me toward the door. When I reached to him the little monster went to the other side of me...ran through the doorway and into the house. I didn't know for sure if he went upstairs or downstairs. Upstairs it was...to the bedrooms. I can't find what he did with it. Grrrrrrr! Since the day I got him, he has hidden bones, treats, even toys. He hids things VERY well. I guess this probably means a trip to the Vet tomorrow too....I'm guessing he must have some kind of definciency....maybe he needs some kind of vitamine. (I hope it is in my head but now I keep thinking I am smelling it) ANY IDEAS ANYONE? What he might need or if this means there is something really wrong with him.
