Just because your dog goes potty outside doesn’t mean you won’t have to deal with all his waste eventually! Here are some tips that will make cleaning up after your dog a breeze.

Although dogs don’t naturally cover up their waste, you can teach a dog to go potty in the same area of your yard. By minimizing his potty area, you don’t have to worry about accidentally walking into his waste when you’re in the backyard. In addition, a smaller area makes cleanup much easier.

You can wait for the waste to pile up, then use a shovel to dispose of the waste in the garbage, but picking up after your dog as he goes is a lot easier. Use a scooper or a baggie to take care of the mess right away and you don’t have to deal with it later.
