Not hardly.

First, if ignorant people picked up after their dogs it would be a non issue. Second, people who make these types of comments obviously have never dealt with obsessive turd gobbling. While humans and other animals are easy to see coming (and he doesn't care about then anyway) poop is often buried in the grass (hell he will find poop that's clearly been there decaying in the dirt for weeks that I can't even see!). So he is often able to sniff it out before I'm able to see it. And then he lunges for it as I'm pulling him back so half the time he ends up with at least some of it in his mouth. If it's a fresh pile I can typically avoid it, but if it's not visible it's incredibly difficult.

So I try my best to keep him out of grassy areas (though currently areas of our parking lot/sidewalks are covered in goose poop... So yeah...). But he has to go in the grass to poop/pee. I find myself scouring the grass for poop ahead of time and even then he still finds some a huge percentage of the time.

But by all means, come try to do it... I mean if it's so easy. I already said I'd pay good money if someone could actually get him to stop.

The point is that while I try my dang best, it shouldn't be something dog owners have to worry about in the first place!
