tiger ranks Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 To my notice when walking around Barry rd,Goodrich Rd,Landells rd there seems to be quite a lot of dog owners allowing there dogs to foul on the pavements please dog owners CLEAR UP YOUR DOGS MESS and use bins provided Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2678-dog-fouling-on-pavements/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Tiger, it is one of my bugbears. There are things you can do. You can phone 020 7525 2000 to report it and it will be cleared. You can phone the same number and ask for 'Bag it and bin it' signs to be painted on the ground near to where the fouling takes place. You can speak to the person whose dog is fouling, pointing out that it's illegal, antisocial and potentially dangerous to people's health. Writing on the EDF might help you vent your spleen, but it won't solve the problem of dog fouling.

Marmora Man Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 There's a new incontinent with an inconsiderate owner that's recently moved into Marmora Rd. It's only in the last four weeks or so - I'm assuming someone has just moved in or bought a dog.I've spoken to the Southwark Community Wardens but will try Nero's number as well.

Nero Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I've had a dog dump in my front garden, twice! Not nice, eh? I encourage people to tackle the vicarious shitters.

seanmlow Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I regularly have dog shite on the pavement near my house.Maybe some people in ED think they are too good to clean it up?! No excuse considering the numerous dog waste bins that have been provided. Also, dog mess is very dangerous for kids etc if the dogs have not been wormed - sort it out!

snorky Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Quite often, the owners are the least approachable section of society and invariably their houndz will be of a breed that isnt famed for its playful nature - esp. with kids if you get my drift.Dogs are a fashion statement to many.I see certain owners in the area letting their dogs off the leash in the fenced off basketball / 5 a side courts for a shit - presumably cos the poor feckin hound is liable to escape if its out in the open/attack people or dogs or the owners is just too stupid / lazy to actually take it out for a proper walk but shitting in fenced off courts is possibly the lowest I have witnessedScum.

scotslass Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Responible dog owners do pick up after their dog :) Over the past couple of months while out walking my dog I have had to dodge the dog shit on the pavements around Grove Vale, Ondine, Oglander. There are a lot of teenagers around with with 'staffs' off the lead and letting their dogs do what they want. I'm usually so concerned about their dog barking at us to ask them to pick up their dog's mess Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2678-dog-fouling-on-pavements/#findComment-81107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Give it a go, Scotslass. Do you really think that the tools who let their dogs shit all over are the bien-pensant members of society who go onto a community internet board? Moaning about it on here is practically useless. (That's my main beef about this site. Lots of whining, with nowhere near as much action.)

peckhamboy Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Unfortunately, there are two problems with that Nero - firstly, you have to see the offence take place, and secondly the people who think they don't need to pick up their dog are often (and I know this is a huge generalisation) not the type who look like they will react in a reasonable, rational way.

jocelyn Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yes I live on Marmora Road and have also noticed that there is an increased amount of dog mess everywhere - it really is disgusting. I often stumble home a bit worse for wear and have the misfortune of getting it all over my lovely wooden floor!!! The rather lame BAG IT graffiti seems to be ignored.

Moos Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Not all foulings-leavers are kids, or people who just don't care. I had to point out to a couple in the park that their dog had done a poo, as they weren't watching it when it wandered off. Even people who think of themselves as right-thinking can be careless, and threads like this are a good reminder.

Cassius Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I rang the number Nero gave and Southwark Council came round the next day and cleared the disgusting mess off the pavement in front of my house. I was very impressed by the service. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2678-dog-fouling-on-pavements/#findComment-81136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleEDfamily Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Little ED Family used to have a dog (unfortunately lost to illness). But I would actually take pleasure in bagging a soft one, especially on those frosty mornings, it kept the hands toasty on the walk.Since our loss I have invested in gloves, but what memories.

Ko Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yes if you report it to the council (0207 525 2000), they come and clean it up within a day.Or e-mail [email protected]I can't understand people who have it outside their house and don't report it. Sometimes it gets cleaned up by the council, but just as often it gets trodden in and spread along the pavement making it worse! I certainly don't want anyone coming into my house bringing the dog mess in so I report it.

spadetownboy Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 aah the memories,but so sensitive are persons to bagging a soft warm one,that you can actually buy a spray that turns it instantly into a cold hard one,much easier to pick up imho.

TJS Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 i too live in the grove vale, ondine area and i have noticed people thinking it is o.k for dogs to have a crap on the trees planted....sadly never actually seen the dog "drop off" but never the less they think as long as it is on some sort of earth it is o.k..shocking. All to ensure i have have social ettiquette in check what the situation with dogs pissing, are they allowed to do that anywhere?

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 It's a bit hard to stop male dogs pissing where they want as it's hardwired into their nature to mark their territory. However, if you train them from puppyhood, you can get them to piss only on command.

Annasfield Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 The thing is, people that pick up after their dogs will continue to do so and those who don't, won't. I regularly walk my friends dogs and often have to dodge turds on the way to the park. It's not pleasant, however I'm afraid that painting on the pavement and putting signs up will have no effect on those who are not bothered.I always pick up after them, and get quite stressed when they're out of view in case I miss something and get reported/shouted out. I suppose the only thing you can do is report people who blantantly don't do it and help those that are clearly trying.

EDrant Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Dog owner should be obliged by law to carry plastic bags when walking their dog, as simple as that. No bag = a fine!If this was compulsory they may actually do the 'Bag it and bin it'.Unrespectful dog owners are costing us a lot in taxes and are extremely bad for young children, so there should be no excuses there.
