Anyone any idea what the rules / enforcing agency is for someone who refuses point blank to pick up his (large) dog's poo?
I always pick up ours but he is quite happy to let it do its business in the middle of the pavement etc. I have chinned him about it and he gave me verbals and said he wont be picking it up. Ever.
is it a police or council matter? And what can they actually do in reality??
This is in Motherwell area if relevant.

I doubt your going to change his ways some people just don't get it do they.

Your local council should have a dog warden, litter wardens and an anti-social behaviour team. Not sure exactly which one would be involved here, but I'd suggest phoning the switchboard and they should be able to work out who to speak to. As the above person said though, it seems doubtful the clown will change his ways, and I doubt the penalties are going to be particularly severe.

te everywhere and put it on Youtube; it seems to work well enough for other social ills dibble hasn't got time for. All you need is for someone to come up with a wky neologism for it, like turd-shaming, and it will be trending on twitter before you can say jack robinson.

I looked at the legislation not that long ago, and it does seem to provide the opportunity to "do someone" for it.
How effective it is in practice with cash strapped councils I am not sure - I guess if you can do the legwork for them in terms of evidence and make a fuss it would be bad PR if they did nothing - it might even have the benefit for them of some publicity that would discourage others.
There is a problem where I live (other side of Scotland) but I have never caught the miscreant in the act and it is not really a suitable location for a camera.

The consensus down the pub is buy a bulk bag of dog biscuits and insert them into the freshly laid dogeggs; passing pooches will then find the turds irresistibly delicious. This has the double-whammy effect of getting rid of the turds and subconsciously persuading dog walkers to walk their dog elsewhere.
Here in Aberdeen the city wardens do ask people to report dog fouling, along with the time of the offence. So if your "present giver" is a creature of habit, same time, same days, same area to allow the pooch out to do the same stuff, they can then come and loiter, and fine the dog owner.
Had a neighbour do this when I lived in a flat. I would scoop it up and catapult it into his own entry next door (four to a block, he lived upstairs).
I would delight at his downstairs neighbours becoming incandescent and vociferous at what they thought was his own dog crapping on the communal entry and giving him a hard time. He eventually moved out having falling foul(!!) of his neighbours unwittingly.
No point in getting verbal, just take some action, but don't get caught..

I find moving it on to the miscreant's door step does the trick - especially if you put it right where the person will step down on to it. Or just post it through the letter box, after smearing it all over the door handle.....
Maybe not nice, but better then someone treading on the dog sh*t

Get in touch with North Lanarkshire Council, they want you to report it.
