I often see dog poo bags hanging from trees, tossed into hedges, or left at the side of footpaths, and it got me wondering about the thought process behind it.

Many owners make the effort to pick up after their dogs, which is absolutely the right thing to do. But what I don’t understand, is why they go to the trouble of bagging it, only to leave the bag in the countryside or throw it into a hedge?

I understand that some people may believe that biodegradable bags will eventually break down. However, this can take months or even years depending on the bag, the conditions, and the environment. In the meantime, they remain visible litter, spoil the landscape, and can have unintended consequences for wildlife. Curious animals may investigate, chew, or ingest discarded bags, which can lead to injury, illness, or even death.

As dog owners, we have many responsibilities and picking up after our dogs and disposing of that waste properly, is a key role.

If you've ever seen poo bags left in hedges or hanging from branches, what do you think is the reason behind it?

• Is it convenience?
• Lack of bins?
• Forgetfulness?
• Intention to collect it later?
• Something else entirely?

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

🌞 DOG COOLING COLLAR GIVEAWAY! 🌞
With this glorious warm weather finally here, keeping our dogs cool, comfortable and safe is more important than ever!

To help, I’m giving ONE lucky winner a Dog Cooling Collar.

Cooling collars sit comfortably around your dog’s neck, where major blood vessels run close to the surface, helping provide gentle cooling and support temperature regulation on warmer days.

⚠️ A quick safety reminder:
Cooling collars should always be used correctly, checked regularly, and never relied upon as the only way to keep your dog cool. Fresh water, shade, avoiding peak heat, and sensible exercise choices are essential.

TO ENTER:
✅ Follow this page
✅ Like this post
✅ Share this post
✅ Comment with your dog’s breed (so I know what size to send!)

BONUS ENTRY:
Tag a fellow dog owner in the comments for an extra chance to win.

The winner will be chosen at random and announced on Friday 5th June on my Facebook & Linkedin page. Open to UK residents only. Entries close at 10am on Friday 5th June.

Behaviour change rarely happens in a straight line. When working with dogs, progress typically happens in stages:

• Growth
• Regression
• Adjustment
• Stability

You will undoubtedly have setbacks, however these are a normal and expected part of the learning process. This is why consistency between sessions matters far more than expecting perfection in any single moment.

Real, lasting behavioural change happens through steady application, clear guidance, and understanding the process.

When owners stay committed to the plan, even during periods that feel challenging, behaviour becomes more stable, predictable, and reliable over time.

This is exactly why my packages are structured the way they are. Because true transformation doesn’t happen through quick fixes or one-off sessions. It happens through the right support, expert guidance, and consistent implementation over time.

If you’re feeling stuck with your dog’s behaviour, my packages are designed to give you the clarity, structure, and ongoing support needed to create lasting change.
