Never Curb Your Dog Again, But Embarrass Him Forever
Your dog thinks he's so fancy, walking around and ejecting poop wherever he wants like a furry softserve machine. You know what would put him in his place? A harness that lets you attach a poop bag to his butt. For the curious, there's a video below that includes action shots.

Billy Mays could have sold this.
It's bad enough for my dog that she needs to be seen in public with me. Why would I subject her to this embarrassment?
A sick and twisted part of me would love to see how big the one for my neighbor's English Mastiff would have to be. Would look like a 30gallon kitchen trash bag behind that one...
I just started eating lunch when I saw that picture. I'm not hungry anymore.
Anyone want a ham sandwich?
This is the most very wrongest thing I've seen in a very, very long time.
@dragonfire81: I've often wondered the same thing about the giant Jesus on I-75 just north of Cincinnati.
@White Speed Receiver: i have 2 dogs and my older one can't have anyone around when she is pooping. i have her on a 6ft leash that is long enough for her to do her business. My other dog can't be in the yard either. i have to take the little one in first and then take the older one back out. it's a quirk, but it's a funny one.
Seriously, people. You bring a sandwich bag. When the dog poops, you put your hand in the bag, pick up the poop, and turn the bag inside-out as you remove your hand. Tie up the bag and dispose of it at your soonest opportunity. Is it that damn hard?
@Fanboy1217: Wow, that's a Youtube video of a Youtube video. Somewhere out there someone's getting ready to make a "Yo dogg, we heard you like..." joke.
I don't know what seems to be more embarassing: this, or Snuggie for dogs.
@HurtsSoGood: i buy biodegradable plastic poop bags this way they don't last for eternity with my dogs poop
Damn, I sent this to Gizmodo, and they said it wasn't gadgety enough.
@HurtsSoGood: Note to self - place hand in bag before picking up poop.
Seriously, though, completely agree.
What really bothers me is their url is the same as the Rap group that I am developing whose songs are focused on being and American and fart jokes...
Now I have to come up with a better name than "Poot Rap USA"
@GitEmSteveDave_♥'sRenegadeIrishman: I Call BS (or maybe "DS" LAWL). It's probably just because of the "taste test" week thing, I think dog excrement and dog excrement-related paraphernalia is on an unofficial hiatus.
@HurtsSoGood: i have no issue with cleaning it up. My issue is hoping my bag does not have a hole in it.
I got one of these for my wife on our 10th wedding aniversary. She said "oh, a strap-on dog shit catcher, that's nice".
I knew she'd like it.
Never Curb Your Dog Again, But Embarrass Him Forever
Thays is exactly what this is, Butt Embarrassment.
Pretty sure I tried to design this in 3rd grade or so, but as I was working with whatever materials I could find (IE, old telephone coil cord that doesn't hold on particularly tightly) and a wiggly corgi (shown at about 30 seconds at an angle where I can't see if they have a thing on, but unlikely since the clip right before had a guy fitting the straps over his dogs tail), my device never got off the ground.
My mom never had faith in me D: I could be rich now D:
I refuse to watch the video!!! LOL
I respect my dog way to much to do that to her.
Yes, what every pet owner wants to look at all day long, a low-tech colostomy bag for Fido.
"And your pets will love it too!"
Oh, I don't think so.
OK, maybe I'm going to be blasted for saying this, but I can see a certain appeal to it in big cities. It can sometimes be very difficult to find places for a dog to do its business, and worse yet, it can be hard to clean everything properly every time.
While the execution of this device is a bit... poor, I can see the upside when taking a dog out for a walk in January in NYC.
That said, it's goofy as hell and probably as likely to take off as the Comfort Wipe.
if I tried to get this on my dog...
1- he would refuse to walk in it. He would spin in circles with the look of "WHAT IS THIS THING ON MY ASS?!"
2- with my luck- and my dog's skill- he'd MISS the bag entirely, and I'd have to deal with removing a poop covered ass-harness from a dog that won't stop spinning in circles.
@Oranges w/ Cheese misses her boyfriend who's in michigan: Do other countries have dog curbing laws? I was under the impression that America is quirky in forcing citizens to pick up dog shit.
Actually, as stupid as it seems.. It's not. Walking a dog outside, yes, super stupid. Grab a bag and pick it up, I agree. However, I have a 13 yr old dog that has a nerve disorder. He can't feel it til one's in the chamber so to speak. He can only feel as it's coming out or very rarely just before. It means frequent bathroom breaks, but there are times where he has to be left alone. There are accidents that happen, and when he's sleeping as well. Imagine yourself not being able to feel anything until it's coming out, how would you feel?
I actually saw something very similar in pitch men when it first started and have been looking all over for something like this. Was going to get some nylon and make myself one, but now I'm happy I saw this.
@cash_da_pibble: Darn you for making me stifle my laughter in the middle of my computer lab at school!!
I would never use this, but it would be so much easier when my dog has diarrhea. It's just impossible to clean up.
That said, the bag would need to be much bigger and I could only do this a 3Am when no one would see us.
Do they have one for humans?
I'm planning a trans-Pacific flight and I really hate the confined spaces of airline lavatories, you see.
@snobum: No thanks on the sandwich, but are you going to eat those Tootsie Rolls you brought for dessert?
Pampers for pooches ?
Ouch . That harness doesn't seem that comfortable or even practical . And how much per baggie ?
@bricklayer: My husband nearly vomits if he feels the warmth of the poo through the plastic bag. What a wimp! Me, no problem. Scoop it, tie the bag and go on your way.
I know if I even tried to strap that poo catcher on my dog he'd refuse to walk. REFUSE.
OK, I had this idea about 2 years ago...But for toddlers.
I felt it was not good to be siting in their poop, or have to poop with something 1 inch away from their butt. (How uncomfortable)
So, I came up with the idea for Diaper Tails.
Diapers with lion print, zebra print, tiger print..... and each one had a "Tail" where the poop would go..away from the baby, and could even be torn off without changing the whole diaper.
Just fold a velcro flap back over or something.
I feel like suing! lol
PS, My wife always insisted that would be disgusting and nobody would want that.....but Im also sure Billy Mays could have moved shiploads (no pun intended) of them.
@zonk7ate9: That's the beautiful thing about the internet... you can insult anyone you want with no consequences.
I think that is the most I have ever heard the word 'poop' in an infomercial.
This had me laughing at work. Sent it to everyone I know who as a dog.
@EdnaLegume:
this is exactly what grosses me out the most so I put a paper towel in the bag before I use it to pick up the poop. No warm squishy feeling.
How many car accidents will the use of this device cause from VERY distracted drivers???
I wonder if people would stop to take pictures of the dog and his/her device?
@EdnaLegume: You clearly don't live where it gets insanely cold in the winter.
Some people look forward to picking up poop.
...at least they only picked one Jesus from the field of candidates...considering it was a committee decision, it's mildly surprising they didn't come up with a compromise to use several Jesi.
How does an idea like this get to market? There has to be so much planning and money invested and whatnot. How come not a single person involved with this said "you know, this might actually be kind of a stupid idea?"
