Dog Fouling Academy

Wednesday, 12 May 2010 08:08

What!

It's a special one day seminar run by Keep Britain Tidy for over 140 councils to make them aware of the problems of dog fouling (like they don't already know) and to offer ideas and solutions to the problem. We have been invited along to introduce them to the Dicky Bag which has been identified as a solution to all their problems. As the new government takes power I think we all know we are in for some tough times with budget cuts so more councils are likely to take the view of Wokingham borough council who took out 245 dog bins last year and saved themselves £60,000.

We are hoping that along with these extreme measures the councils will have the forethought to offer their residents an alternative to dog bins just like Conwy council have and invest in Dicky Bags enabling dog owners to transport their dogs waste as far as necessary to the nearest bin or even to their homes.

For all you dog owners out there that own an iPhone here's a great tip on a free application. The National Trust have an app available which not only gives you details of your nearest National Trust property to your current location but will also show you how to get there on google maps. It's a great little app which can open up a raft of new places to explore and walk your dog, it may even be a dicky bag stockist, and the what's more it's absolutley free.

Top 5 facts about Dog Poo

Thursday, 22 April 2010 15:08

I know it's not a nice subject but I find myself getting increasingly annoyed by silly comments made by people in an atempt to justify why they don't pick up their dogs mess. Like most people I used to believe that the worst thing about dog poo was stepping in it or getting it on the wheels of pushchairs or bikes but after some research I've discovered there is a far more sinister consequence and there is not such thing as leaving dog poo to break down "naturally".
