Most public dog drama isn't about the dogs — it is about the humans. Here is how to be the dog parent everyone in your neighborhood likes.
Always carry waste bags. Always.
Even on a quick walk. Even when you are sure they won't go. Especially when other people are watching.
Pick it up immediately
Not after your dog finishes the next sniff. Right when it happens. The longer it sits, the more disgusted everyone becomes.
Don't let your dog approach others without asking
Some people are scared of dogs. Some are allergic. Some have reactive dogs of their own. "He's friendly" isn't a free pass.
Yield on narrow paths
If a path is too narrow for two dogs to pass, step off and let the other dog go.
Be the dog parent your neighbors describe as considerate. The reputation pays off.
Make pickup easier with the right gear.
