thing is, even if they picked it up your hose would still trail through all those unseen germs. Enjoy your sandwiches after?

Wet and boggy today walking through back gardens etc Daz, and we get dog muck just like everyone else. However, that is a bit heavy there mate. Time to have a private word with the custy IMO. I've had really bad ones where the muck is going mouldy and furry with age!!! Then the kids toys are in the middle of the garden!!! I had to puke this year when I got to a garden where the custy had picked up all the muck from their two boxers, and put it all in a carrier bag leaning against the garden gate. As I opened it, half the months muck tippied out onto the path. It was summer, and over 30c!! Took me a few minutes to stop myself throwing up. My wife who works with me thought I was having some sort of attack.  :o

I took on 2 new customers, 1 last week, the other today. In both cases when I did the initial clean, there was a lot of dog s**t in the gardens. Told them both it would have to be kept clear. Bugs the s**t out of me (pun intended!) that folks expect you to walk and drag your hose through it.

i believe you could offer a poop-gone  service  and rake in  additional income.

Never in a million years.
I hate dogs and hate even more-cats.

Daz-I charge full price if I do front&back or front only if inaccessible.
Turds blocking thoroughfare=inaccessible.

I went to a new clean worse than that! Telephoned customer evening before I was due, turned up to a big rotweiler and barely a patch of land that hadn't been dumped on by the dog, must have been a year maybe two years worth not touched, the smell was overpowering!

Didn't bother getting my hose out and left a note through her letterbox to say I changed my mind about cleaning her property forever as she couldn't even be bothered to clean up her dogs sh*t and my nose couldn't stomach the bad odour as it was excessive.

 I felt sorry for the dog as it had barely a patch to lie down without being messed in it's own poop. Called the RSPCA as well so she would be checked out for possible neglect to her dog. I have a dog myself and I always clean up after her and spoil her rotten :)
