Dog walking etiquette?

[Alysser]

I've done it before.

I've seen neighbors put it in ours before. The way I see it, better in the trashcan then on my lawn. I don't do it often of course but I've done it when I took him for a long walk or there was a hole in the bag.

If it is the day the trash is going to be picked up, I see no harm it. Otherwise, I'd just carry it home and put it in my own trash.

I never thought about doing that. Interesting. I probably wouldn't do it but I guess I don't really know the correct etiquette on this either.

I don't walk my pups - they walk themselves all over the 2 acres here. However, if I did, I wouldn't take the liberty of putting a deposit in my neighbor's trash.

I've not done that, and never seen anyone do it, not even on trash day.

HOWEVER, we have 2 huge apartment complexes we walk through, and I regularly use their dumpsters rather than carry it back home.

I think I'd feel weird putting it in a neighbor's trash can, especially if they live close enough where you should walk the extra ten feet/block to use your own. I regularly use public waste receptacles, on a long walk I'm not carrying that for any length of time.

My puppers and I travel all year round due to my job. I literally don't have a house. I live in hotels all over the country. I usually pick up their poos and deposit it in the hotel trash. We will be staying in a beach house as of Oct. 15th. I'll be tossing it in my own garbage then.
