Magic Poop Trap

“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,

Eric

P.S. Housetraining can be a big problem for a lot of dog
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.

  3. Yvette Says:

    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.

  4. Richard Says:

    Simply insane!
    If at least it was a joke but no…

  5. Mary Says:

    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.

  6. Terri Daniel Says:

    Is this a joke?

  7. Shane Says:

    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 ;-)

  8. Lenae Says:

    That is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time!

  9. Mona Says:

    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!

  10. Nonie Says:

    I think my dogs would hold it before they’d go in that thing! And like Shane, they would chew it off.

  11. Eric Letendre Says:

    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.”

  12. Jim Says:

    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!

  13. Debbie Says:

    so … you mean this is NOT an early April 1st joke???

  14. Kim Says:

    Seriously??

  15. Charlie Says:

    This is a Saturday Night Live skit, right?

  16. Pie Nimb Says:

    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”

  17. Jennifer Says:

    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.

  18. cake monster Says:

    It collects MAGIC POOP??? I didn’t know there was such a thing. Can you use it to grow a giant poopstalk?

  19. Mack Shepherd Says:

    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.
