Why Anne Main is Wrong

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

I feel there are few people better placed to comment on the behaviour and attitude of dog owners in regards to dog fouling. For the last 8 years I have travelled the UK and spoken to hundreds of thousands of dog owners about the problem of dog fouling, including the dumped poo bag problem the lack of bins and where they believe it is acceptable to not pick up.

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

Frightening statistics have just been revealed on the amount of dog poop generated in each county of the UK and the cost of sending it to landfil. Streetkleen who are campaigning for change in the way councils deal with dog waste have collected together this information to encourage councils to recycle dog waste into energy (yes it can be done – I’ve seen it with my own eyes!).
