No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. This is the PooTrap, an elaborate apparatus that you strap to your dog. It holds a bag in place right about where the you-know-what comes out of the you-know-where. It costs between $30 and $40 depending on the size of your dog.
People, listen. If you can’t tolerate the thought of picking up dog crap, then don’t get a dog. I myself wasn’t crazy about it at first, but you get used to it. It’s not fun, but it’s better than walking a dog with a bag stuck to its ass.
And I can’t stress enough how much you should read the FAQ section of the PooTrap website. Here are some completely unedited questions and answers:
My dog will not like it for sure?
Actually, dogs don’t like many things such as “they don’t like shower”, “they don’t like to stay home alone”, “they don’t like to eat dog cookies”, however, when they are used to all these things, they will be excited about it.
Why my dog seem not able to get used to “PooTrap”?
In many ways dog is like human being! It’s like when first time people use camera to take photos, for sure it seems weird but nowadays many people around the world are using cameras for taking photos.
Dog feel not respected when wearing “PooTrap”?
Babies wear diapers and they are truly loved by their parents, hence same applied to the dogs owners who use our “PooTrap” actually truly love their dogs.
I would rather like to pick up poop by myself?
People invented many useful technologies to make people’s life easier. All these inventions (car is among one of them) are to make people’s life more convenient. With our “PooTrap”, no need to worry that dogs will cause environment pollution, and as dogs owners may know, actually it’s difficult to pick up poop.
And if all that hasn’t been enough for you, here’s a video:

HAHAHA, Article is great, product not so much –i can handle the poop i guess.
I think it might be a great product, if properly applied – such as to the face of the idiot who can’t pick up after his dog. Hopefully it will quickly eliminate their breathing and make the dog park nicer for the rest of us. I guess it would work as well for people who don’t teach their dogs about acceptable behaviour. So yes, exciting product. And just like baby, it will show idiot we truly love them. They may not be crazy about it at first but just like camera it will make our lives easier.
It’s got ‘all your base are belong to us’ style translated language. Nice.
Yet another reason why I’m a cat person. :)
I saw this on Leno’s “pitch to the public” segment. I believe it went as “not sold”.

Dogs have no rights anymore lol.
I think this is disgusting. Next they weill be putting pooh traps on fish in http://marinefishtank.net
I see three things wrong with this (besides the fact that you’ve got a bag strapped to your dog’s ass):
- When not in an area for which they were trained to hold it, dogs go whenever they feel the urge, so this harness & bag would have to be on (and you’d have to spend the time putting it on) everytime & anytime the dog is outside.
- I can totally see the dog ripping this thing off after going, or not going at all just because it’s there.
- Lastly…(and most disgusting)…just like humans, dogs get diarrhea too.
