Ummm, take the dog on a walk to big fields and let him do his business there?
Poop removal suggestions
Any brilliant ideas here? I started by putting it in the woods but stopped that since the kids sometime go in there. Then I bagged it but the garbage cans are not air tight so the garage would smell a little or the ouside area around the can. Then I got one of those big airtight screw top food containers. Good news was no more smell but the bad news was when you unscrew the top to make a disposal the air has been trapped and the smell almost makes you faint. Could the gas build up in this be dangerous? I was thinking about getting a diaper jenie but the refills are expensive. I also know someone who installed a dog septic system but you have to add a gallon of water everytime you make a disposal which does't sound that convenient. Any other ideas? Someone could make a buck by inventing a better way...

I really wish I were not so lazy. Ideally I would bag it as they do it and then empty the bag into our toilet and flush it away...
When we lived in town, we used one of these. It worked really well.

Hmmm....I just send my husband out in the back yard a few times a week before trash pick up and make him clean it. Or use poop bags when walking....which my husband does most of. I can't smell at thing!!!
Publix bags are my friend; we have trash pick up twice a week and it's not so bad. I tie the bags up real tight, but you're right, most of the times when I open the trash lid in the garage, there is an odor. However, my husband and I also own two rabbits and the smell can get pretty bad cleaning a rabbit's hutch (the poop isn't bad, but the urine, oh my!) so I just keep the trash lid closed for as long as I can and accept the lovely odors as part of pet ownership!
We use a diaper genie. No smell, no mess. I found one free on freecycle.org or check craigslist for cheap ones.
So the doggy doolie really did work?
I have a bucket outside I line with a plastic garbage bag, between my dogs and boarding dogs it fills up in about a month. There's gotta be a better way and I was thinking about getting one of these.

Where we live now I walk Lucky into the inhabited field across the street, or go by the side of the road in front of our house. Our road runs against a drop off...so obviously no people but us live by that road.
But in the past I just bagged it up once a week, tied the bag and threw it in the outside garbage bin. Since we didn't have a garbage disposal...that trash never smelled extremely well anyway.

We have cat's, so I use an empty tidy cats plastic container to put Bailey's poo in. I have to hold my breath every time I open it and dump her poop. I don't breathe until I've walked around the corner. I can't smell the poop once the lid is covered.
Have you thought about burying it in the woods? Part of our property is wooded. It takes care of the smell and no worry about kids playing back there. We also noticed it improves the soil....more worms.

we use a metal can with a lid, keeps the smell down. But when you open...it will smell.
In the summer we hose them down to nothing and they become part of the ground. Maybe get a composter(sp) and do it that way?
