Dog owners need educating

AS a local resident and parent of a child who walks to a local school I am absolutely furious with the amount of dog mess that is constantly found on the pavements near and around Urmston junior and infant schools. Each day you have to negotiate the piles of poo left by dogs and their inconsiderate and irresponsible owners. I am fed up with having to remove it from either my daughter's shoes or from the wheels of the pram before entering my house. Perhaps the dog owners would like to do it for me? Probably not, but they do need educating on how to be a responsible pet owner and how to clean up after their dogs!
