I have a small dog who poos on the pavement.. i note i pick it up but it does seem abit futile when you are picking up your own doggy doo doo that there is a great big one right next to it!! I too have been onto the council as the problem it particularly bad on my road. The council have put stencils on the pavement but the dogs dont seem to be able to read!! perhaps the council could offer shoe protectors to help alleiviate the suffering of the people who do clean up their dog **** and the people who dont have dogs!
