Green Dog Walkers
Dog fouling is one of the most controversial issues we deal with. It is both a nuisance and a health hazard.
The Green Dog Walkers Scheme is an innovative community-based campaign to change attitudes to dog fouling. It encourages dog owners in a non-judgmental and non-confrontational way to always carry a plastic bag or poop scoop bag when they walk their dog and to bag and bin any dog fouling caused by their pet.
Dog owners support the scheme by signing a pledge to clean up after their dogs. They support other dog walkers by carrying extra dog bags to give them if needed. In return, they’ll receive a Green Dog Walker's lead, a key ring and a small quantity of dog waste bags.
Take the Green Dog Walker’s Pledge
I hereby volunteer to accept a Green Dog Walker's lead and pledge to take part in the campaign as follows:
• I will use the lead as often as possible when walking my dog.
• I will at all times clean up after my dog and dispose of the bag in a bin.
• When other people walk my dog, I will request them to clean up after my dog.
• I understand that using the lead indicates that I will carry extra dog bags to distribute to other dog walkers if needed.
• I fully understand that Green Dog Walkers is intended to be a non-confrontational and friendly campaign to change attitudes to dog fouling. At no time will I aggressively confront other dog walkers about dog fouling.
• I agree that Green Dog Walkers may contact me to take part in questionnaires or surveys regarding my Green Dog Walker's experience, to help judge the success of the project.
• I understand that my dog must be licensed to sign up to the Green Dog Walkers campaign.
