DOG MESS

DOG MESS

Lasham Airfield is NOT a giant Dog Loo!  

Dog Mess is an unavoidable by-product of owning a dog, and therefore it’s every owner’s moral duty and legal responsibility to clean up after their dog.

  • Always carry the means to clear up after your dog. Simple plastic bags have proved more convenient, effective and cheaper than a cumbersome poop scoop, and there are biodegradable options that are kinder to the environment. Your bags should be as unforgettable as a lead when you take your dog out.
  • EVERY time your dog fouls, bag it and bin it. The rain does not wash the problem away, as some lazy, anti-social people think, so bag and bin wherever.
  • Dogs cannot read signs, so it is your responsibility to keep them away from recreational areas.
  • Never let your dog out alone to toilet. This should go without saying, but it does happen. Apart from fouling, your dog could go missing.
It is every owner’s duty to clean up after their dog. There are no excuses. Fouling is unacceptable.
If you witness a dog doing its do-do somewhere then you as a member also have a responsibility to challenge the owner; please do so.
