Wanna buy a dog

[Alexander The Great]

I'm 16 years old and i really want a dog. I really like German Shepherds. I know all the basics about training dogs, the only thing i dont understand is - when u train ur dog to do its buisiness somewhere in the garden for example - how do u clean it afterwards? i kno lots of people who trained their dogs to poo in the garden, but when i would visit them and walk into the garden there would be no trace or smell of dog waste. might seem like a silly question to ask but if you ahve a dog and experience plz explain to me, since my mam said if i am to get a dog i will be fully resposible. thanks

I have 2 "little" dogs.

When the dog has made its bizniz just take the poop in to bag and trhow it to bin, in Finland we have stands around the roads where are poopbags and trashcans for them.

And outside dog poop hardly smells but try inside ;D

I hope it gave some kind of advice

My lassie came to us as a stray dog.
LuckFor me he allready knew the basic commands sit lie allways walk on ur left etc...

At first he did hes buissnes around the house,then i thought him to do it in the nearby forest.

I mostly walk him on the cubtry side, no need for a leash....
And if i go to the city i cary a bag to pick up his poop, no1 likes shit on their grass....

the best way for that is that every 2 weeks you invit all you friends to work together in your garden,and after your garden will be clean
seriously the better way:

you make a small place with a barrier.
When your dog is little, you put it at each time in this area. If your dog is enough intelligent it will always go here at each time. My dogs understand this after 3 weeks. After you have just to clean once a week and put special products that you can find shops.
We have lot of cities wich make this in france so the streets are cleaner than before.

And of course you have to take huge responsibility over the dog and have time for it which is also a good thing to "study".
