Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Rubbermaid lobby dust pan
• Shrub rake
• 13 gallon garbage bag

1. Secure the lobby dust pan in an upright position by pushing the handle towards the back of the dust pan. It will lock in place. The dust pan will hold about one week's worth of dog poop for one 60 pound dog.

2. Line the lobby dust pan with a 13 gallon garbage bag. The back of the dust pan has a rectangular shape. Press the corners of the bag into the corners of the dust pan. Pull the remaining plastic under the dust pan and smooth it with your hands. It is important to also smooth the bag along the inside of the dust pan. This will ensure that when you scoop the dog poop it slides all the way to the back of the pan and does not get stuck near the front.

3. Take hold of the rake in one hand. Grab your lined dust pan with the other. You are now ready to scoop dog poop like a DoodyCalls professional pooper scooper.

4. Walk the yard in a grid like pattern, first criss cross the yard back and forth - and then up and down. Use your peripheral vision to scan for the dog poop and watch where you step!

Tips & Warnings

• Cleaning flower beds. Be extra careful when removing dog poop from flower beds because the waste is often hidden under leaves and flowers.
• Cleaning hills. Walk to the top of the hill. Zig zag your way to the bottom of the hill walking back and forth - let gravity take you down the hill. At the bottom of the hill slowly scan back up the hill with your eyes for any missed dog poop.
• Enzyme products such as Nature's Miracle and Kennel Fresh may be applied to patios and decks after the dog poop has been removed. These products will help to eliminate any remaining odor.
• If you enjoyed scooping dog poop like a professional pooper scooper you might consider applying for a job with DoodyCalls. Better yet - you might consider owning a DoodyCalls franchise!
• Pet waste is dirty. Wash your hands when you are done!
• Disinfect your tools with a bleach solution before scooping anybody else's yard because dog poop may contain harmful parasites.
