Hope you’re all remembering to scoop the poop when you walk your dachshund! It’s best to buy the purpose made bags from pets stores, and not any other kind of plastic bag, as they may not be not as strong, and you could find things a bit messy!
There are lots of pooper scooper devices on the market to make even the most queasy dog walker, scoop the poop with ease.
I personally always have sand with me too, for - how can I put this delicately? - when you cannot pick it up for consistency reasons!
If you ever run out of bags, and you are on a public footpath, then the very least you shoud do, is get a stick and move the poop out of the way of walking boots.
