Yes, its your dog your responsibility.
Believe it or not, failing to pick up after your dog in most countries is illegal. You could face a light fine for the first offence and a heavier fine for every offence after that. Repeat offenders are summoned to a court to face criminal charges.
The reason it's illegal to leave dog faeces lying around is because they are a major health concern. Dog faeces can contain the following bacteria's and parasites:
- Heartworms
- Whipworms
- Hookworms
- Roundworms
- Tapeworms
- Parvo
- Corona
- Giardiasis
- Salmonellosis
- Cryptosporidiosis
- Campylobacteriosis
If a child accidently ingests dog waste, they would most likely die from poisoning within an hour. Which is a slow death.
If it's proved your dogs faeces caused the death, you will definitely be sent behind bars.
Owning a dog is a lot more responsibility than most people realise.

∙ 14y agoYes, especially on walks. You can be fined up to $500 if you do not pick up after your dog on a walk. And in your house, unless you have a hypo-allergenic dog and unless you want dog hair EVERYWHERE POSSIBLE, then, yes, you do have to clean up after your dog. but some dogs dont shed, like mine, a maltipoo.

Should you pick up dogs?
If it is your own dog there is likely no reason you should not pick up the dog. If it is a strangers dog it is not a good idea. Some dogs do not like to be picked up and will bite if you try to pick them up. This is more likely to happen if it is a dog that doesn't know you.
