    What? You mean you now enjoy picking up dog poo? To be fair it is good that there are some who now do this. However, if there's something as bad as scraping dog poo out of my running shoes with a screwdriver, it's seeing a dog poo bag helpfully deposited on a park bench or left dangling in a tree....

    Makes me laugh that when training a dog you're supposed to establish that you're the alpha, first through the door, etc, you then proceed to pick its turds up.... While the mutt watches you do it :-)

    Dangling dog poo bags wind me up almost as much as Disposable nappies in laybys, car parks or just tossed out of car windows, used condoms don't really make feel any better disposed towards the inconsiderate selfish types that desecrate our planet whether dog owners or not

    Not that I'm particularly quick but I find it annoying (especially on ascents) when you're going at a steady rhythm and one of the little blighters jumps out at you, it slows me down and I struggle to get going again.

    A friend of my dad trained his sheepdog to do just that in races. The dog seemed to know which runners to do it to giving its owner a huge advantage over the impeded runners!

    I might have found the solution today. first meeting with out of control puppy I tried not to get cross. Second meeting it had scared a toddler and would not leave me alone.... Barking, jumping up, tripping me and trying to playfully? Bite. I lost my temper big time with the owner ( it's not the puppy's fault) but she only put it on a lead when I took their photo and said I would put up posters of it and explain why

    Thought I'd take my new puppy out on the hills yesterday. Get him away from the hustle & bustle of the dirty city, open his eyes to the glory of nature. The sights, sounds etc. We were having a great time. Birds were signing, sun was shining, wind was blowing - we were generally feeling a part of the cosmos.

    Then from out of nowhere a crazed runner leaps at him (not me) with an SLR advising him to 'show her love baby' and work the camera. Quite unsettling to say the least.
