If your walking in public woods then you want to make sure that you clean up after your dog so if your dog defecates on a public trail you'll either want to have a baggie to pick it up in or probably best in the case in the woods is kick it into the woods off the trail (good girl) but this is a nice way to take a little walk with your dog enjoying the outside giving your dog lot's of different things to look at just remember if your going to be walking in public woods you want to make sure that you do keep your dog in a leash because you don't know who your going to run into. There could be joggers, bicycles, mountain bicyclists, people with other dogs, and even though your dog might be friendly there could be somebody else whose walking with their dog and there dog may not be so friendly to other dogs.
