Hi, I'm working with a friend to try to develop a new device that can solve the poop cleanup problem you described. We want to make sure we make something that people will really want and really use.

I’d like your input. Can you tell me which of these features would be most important to you (rate them 1-10, with 10 being the most important)

--Not having to feel the poop through a plastic bag
--Not having to bend over
--Not having to carry a clean, light tool with one hand during the entire walk.
--Not having to carry a clean, light tool attached to your belt or hung on your shoulder during the walk.
--Not being seen carrying a bag of poop (transparent plastic bag)
--Not being seen carrying a bag of poop (dark plastic bag)
--Not being seen carrying anything that might contain poop (small clean cube of colored nylon that holds a clean tool and a bag of poop)
-- No smell while walking home
--No chance that poop can dirty your clothing as you carry the poop and the tool home.
--Cost is less than:
10 cents per time
20 cents per time
50 cents per time
--Don’t need to use two hands during the cleanup process

If your answers don't call for a new invention from us, I'll lead you to one of five existing products that may meet your needs (I'm not selling any of those).

picking up your dog's waste is actually a normal thing to do...this is part of our responsibility as dog owners....if you have a yard, it would be a good thing to walk your dog first within your yard until he poops there...that way you won't have the hassle of picking up his waste in your local park

I have a severe back problem. I'd love to see something convenient that I can use to pick up the poop without bending...
