For those with dogs...

I refuse to pick it up. I try and hide it under brush/bushes though.

my dog is trained to use a litterbox, but yes, I do.

When I lived downtown and had basically no yard, I carried little 1 gallon trash bags with me whenever I walked my dogs, and always picked up their poop. Now my neighborhood is still urban, but everybody has a yard and almost everybody has a dog that craps in it, so I don't worry about it so much.

I don't let him crap when we go for a walk or to the park. I don't pick it up from my yard.

I try to make my pup (4.5 mo's old Golden) hold it until he gets to this big green area behind our development. Back there dogs can crap anywhere they want with no consequences. Otherwise I pick it up.

The unfortunate thing is there are very few public trash cans on the routes I usually walk him, so many times I have to bring the stuff with me home. There it goes into a bucket in a remote corner of the back yard, where it stays until trash day.

Three day old dog crap in a confined trash can inside = the worst smell you can imagine, so that's not an option.
