Dogs poop outdoors.\u00a0 When it happens in your neighborhood and your dog is on a leash you scoop it up with a bag and throw it in the trash.\u00a0 But if you are hiking and your dog poops on the trail and isn’t on a leash there is a whole new set of problems even for a responsible dog owner.\u00a0 First you might not notice it.\u00a0 Second even if you put the poop into one of those little bags what do you do with the bag?\u00a0 There isn’t a trash can for miles. If you try to kick it off the trail there is a a high probability you will end up with smelly shoes.\u00a0 Leaving the poop on the trail create an eye and an olfactory hazard for others.\u00a0 It also reinforces the opinion of people who want to restrict where dogs can be taken.<\/p>\n

Here is a solution that will work.\u00a0 Press leaves together to make a card about the size of the cover of a small paperback book.\u00a0 Think about a thicker version of the seaweed paper they use for wrapping sushi.\u00a0 The cards will be easy to use and will store in a small pack. After clearing the trail the poop and the scoop will both easily and invisibly biodegrade in the bushes off the trail.<\/p>\n

Give the product a clever descriptive name like “Mountain Scoop<\/strong>” and sell it through pet stores.<\/p>\n
