“I once decided not to date a guy because he wasn’t
excited to meet my dog. I mean, this was like not
wanting to meet my mother.” – Bonnie Schacter, Founder
of the Single Pet Owner’s Society Singles Group
I saw the above quote and thought of a girl I once went on
a date with. Half way though the dinner the discussion of
dogs came up and she said, “I really don’t like dogs.”
Stunned I asked why. She said that people that have dogs
are kind of crazy. She couldn’t understand why some dog
owners buy clothes, gourmet food, doggie beds, toys, etc.
In the middle of her extended speech on why she doesn’t
like dogs I held up my hand and asked her to stop. I also
called the waiter over and paid the bill.
I politely informed her that this would never work out
between us. Stunned she asked why. I told her that I
have four dogs at home and they all have their own closets
for their clothes.
I was kidding about the closets but she felt the same about
me and we parted ways.
Anyway, I was thinking of her the other day when I saw the Magic
Poop trap. You won’t beleive this video. If you have one minute
check it out. I don’t think I’ll ever use one for my dogs but who
knows – maybe they’ll catch on.
Check out this video
All the best,

owners but not when you have the Housetraining Handbook.

For a really negative review of the PooTrap.
Why would people even ones who have dogs without grass actually think that this is an easier way to clean up after your dog?
O. M. G.
I think I’ll pass on the Poop Trap. I’m totally stunned, I can’t even think of what else to say.
Good Lord. What would possess a person to put such a thing on a dog? Poop goes with the territory. If you can’t stomach picking up your dog’s poop, don’t get a dog! I would never submit my dog to such a humiliating device.
Simply insane!
If at least it was a joke but no…
My heart goes out to the poor dogs who are forced into using this product! No dog deserves an owner who’d use such a contraption.
Is this a joke?
If i was not prepared to deal with poop, i would not have gotten a dog. PLus my Malamute would chew that thing to bits in about 20 mins
That is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time!
Honestly, if I didn’t have an elderly, incontinent dog I would have laughed out lout at this. The ONLY reason I could possibly see using this device is if you have a dog like mine who is old and can’t hold it, even in his crate. Thank heaven my dog is only 12lbs so I don’t have much to deal with, but he goes 5 to 8 times per day and usually in his crate. I’ve resigned myself to have to clean up after him until he’s gone, we’ve had him since he was 8 wks old and he is 15 now so such is life in my home. However, if I had a 50lb dog who had the same problem, I may have been tempted to try this out!
I think my dogs would hold it before they’d go in that thing! And like Shane, they would chew it off.
Can you imagine walking to the park and seeing fifty dogs walking and running around with magic poop traps attached to their butts. That would truly be a scary sight. I agree with Yvette: “Poop goes with the territory.”
I am shocked that any dog owner would buy something like this. There is no way I would ever subject my dog to that indignity!
so … you mean this is NOT an early April 1st joke???
Seriously??
This is a Saturday Night Live skit, right?
this is actually quite funny! But I think it has its uses. A lot of people should find this contraption useful. And about dogs marking territories that’s totally absurd, we shouldn’t pick up after them if we cared about their “territories”
I also thought this was a joke at first- for the average dog owner it’s a little kooky. However, if I had an older dog who needed this to keep my house clean (much like I put ‘Depends’ on my grandfather), I would buy it! I think the inventor was very creative and came up with a solution for the right type of problem.
It collects MAGIC POOP??? I didn’t know there was such a thing. Can you use it to grow a giant poopstalk?
I can barely stop laughing to type this note. I guess there is bound to be a time that something like that could be handy, old dogs with problems, etc., but I really can’t imagine my Lab wearing that thing. Besides, that little baggie is WAY too small for that dog unless they’re not feeding him very well.
I’m with Mona – some of us with elderly dogs who sometimes go to the bathroom in their sleep due to nerve damage are thinking, hmmmm. I have a Great Dane mix and although we’re not at that place yet, if/when that time comes, well, I’m sure I’ll welcome anything that works. In that arena, I think it’s pretty smart. Anything that will keep my house as sanitary as possible and keep my dog’s dignity is something to consider. Unfortunately they aren’t marketing it as such, and people think it’s crazy. Which it is if people are using it for the reason in the ad. They should redirect their marketing! They could probably double the price.
