How Often Do You Poop-Scoop Your Yard

[Flatcoatluver]

Gosh. I guess I better go out in scoop. I havn't really done it since January.

[Glacier]

I do the main part of the yard pretty much daily. Anywhere a visitor is likely to see is done daily(no one is calling AC to say my dog yard isn't clean!) as is Sundin's pen(cuz he likes to eat poopsicles if he has the chance). The other pens, that have far fewer dogs in them than the main yard, are done twice a week. On the weekends or days when I have more time, I do the far reaches of the yard.

Stored in tightly sealed metal cans until we make a dump run(no garbage pick up where I live).

Rocky is easy because he will only poop in the dog run or the perimeter of
the yard which is dirt. (he will not poop on the lawn)
Lately I have only been scooping 2 times a week.

In the summer i do it daily,3 4 times a day.

But come winter...My son has moved out on his own and he actually always did it for me..I never had to worry about the yard.

Now Rebecca was put on the job too do it.I think she has done it once in 3 months....I went out the other day and got alot of it done.But it is really hard to do when it is frozen lol.

As soon as the snow goes it will be all done,If not what a mess ill have when everything melts.

I like to scoop every day, but if the weather's bad, it may be in 2 or 3 days.

You want a winter poop-scooping tip? If everything is frozen solid & stuck to the ground, take a pitcher of warm water with you & pour it on the little piles & dark spots where it's under the snow... In just a minute they are "scoopable". HaHaHa, I wonder if I should send this tip into Helouise?

[critter crazy]

I dont!! First off, I have great dogs who go potty on the optside edges of the property, and secondly I have 24 free range chickens that Love fresh Poop!!

Never! That's Bruce's job. I will do it if I want to play with her, but lately I've just been taking her to the dog park everyday that I possibly can. I know he does it at least before he mows the lawn, but he may do it more often....I don't know.

LOL! LOL! I don't think I have ever read any tip that even remotely comes close to that in Helouise!

During the summer months I usually do it every other day. I make sure I do it right before hubby mows. In the winter no one walks in the yard other than the dogs so I slack off A LOT! Bella usually goes along the back part of the yard so there aren't so many *mines* of hers to accidentally walk through. Ripley goes everywhere but his poopies are pretty tiny. I did a long overdue pooper scoop last week and let's just say it was probably comparable to cleaning up after a couple of elephants.

I'm really bad about this!

I scoop rarely, mostly when I need to mow. Once or twice between November and March.
My yard is divided into a dog area and 'my' area, so I don't have to avoid the mess. The dogs have decided to use the back part of 'their' yard so it makes it easier to clean. Nice of them.

Two weeks worth of dog scooping is equal to on day's worth of cat scooping.

Depends on the weather:

In semi coldish weather when we arn't hanging out out side much, once a week, the day before garbage pick-up. In winter, maybe once a month if we get a nice day and there's not a lot in snow. In the nicest months, twice a week.

every day or 2 in the summer. whever possable in the winter. I womnt go outside when its 40 below to poop scoop lol, but we get random warm days throughout the winter where things will start to melt for a day..those day I will go out and pick up what I can..the next day its usually 40 below and snowing again lol. its finally springtime and the snow is melting so we have been out every other day or so picking up what we can get at. there IS a $500 fine for not cleaning your yard here, so we try to clean up whatever is visable.

When I lived in a house with a garden once a day. Now I'm living in the end bungalow of four and without fences between us in the long back yard/garden I have to take Bob out on the lead to do his business, and make sure he does so on our 'patch'. As I'm out there anyway I clean it up right away.
