I honestly have not had my dogs go while out on a walk in this neighborhood, but I have a dog door to my little fenced yard so they are generally already self-relieved before we head out.

I have to say though, that there are some people who are just watching and WAITING for you to step a foot wrong with your dog. I was walking just Raven one day down a neighborhood street when she squatted to do #1. I waited a moment then started walking when a man's voice shouts across the street "Excuse me ma'am, are you going to pick that up?" Now I think of all kinds of smart-aleck replies I could have made but at the time I was so surprised and caught off guard I just stammered "She just... peed." And he said, "oh okay."
