Hüsky produces rather solid chunks of poop,  likely due to his grain-free diet.  In the yard,  I take a stick and direct the items into an old disposable soda cup,  then put them by the base of a Dead Pine tree where there's no foot traffic.

At Dawg Park,  there are dispensers for the double-layered poop bags, similar to paper-towel dispensers of old.  There are four all along the fence, and a few trash cans.  The hound takes a dump there about half the time.  I bring H.I.M. there just to socialize with his buddies.  There's an Anatolian Shepherd,  an Akita-Husky cross,  and a Boxer-Husky mix which all are his favorite Pals.

He likes the various Pit-Bull crossbreeds as well;  they run fast and play Ruff.  Occasionally one of the PB's will attempt some aggressive move,  and Hüsky will do a lightning-speed counterattack, either knocking the PB over or jumping over it in mid-run.  All of this in 'We're just playing' mode.  I've only had to intervene in a potential fight once.  The owner had an aggressive Pit who(m) was not socialized,  and attempted to start some shiite.  So I showed them the sign with the Park rules all spelled out,  right by the gate.

Some people bring their 2-3 month old Puppies there to adapt to Dawg life.  Hüsky takes to them like a Kindergarten teacher,  and shows them how to cavort Northern-Dawg style.  It is very cute to observe his behavior around the infant Dawgs
