I am a proud parent of 3 furballs, we’ve been taking advantage of the new off leash areas in metro, mostly Shubie park. This is a monitored probationary period of 12 months. After all the fighting with HRM to make this possible it’s already being abused. EVERY TIME we’re there I end up picking up piles of shit left behind by your lazy asses. I do this because I want this strategy to work. There are biodegradable waste bags at the entrance, it couldn’t be easier. The least desirable thing about having a dog is what comes out of em. It’s your responsibility to clean up you inconsiderate assholes!

I wouldn’t pick up other dog’s crap. It’s on the owner’s shoulders to watch their pet and pick up after them.Seaview in Halifax is quite clean if you can make it over – but they don’t keep bags up front (I think they did and they never refilled it).
