This product does exactly what it promises. We have two dogs, and usually carry two "poop bags" when we go for walks, as bags alone aren't conducive to more than one use, typically. With the Poop Hound, one bag does the trick no matter how many times they "go" when we're out for a walk!

Yes, it's a bit pricey, but cheaper than at Petsmart. It DOES work though, and it's much easier than scooping and carrying a seperate bag to drop it all in. It *does* use any sort of bag, like grocery bags, so that's very nice.

I've used plenty of different kinds of pooper scoopers, but this is absolutely the best! I have two lab-mixes and a greyound--lots of poop--but clean up is easy and quick with the Poop Hound. I use extra plastic bags from grocery shopping, and never have to even touch the bag after I've secured it in place... when it's full, I pull off the black piece of plastic which holds it in place and release the bag right into the trash can. There is very little bending over, too, which is one of the best features. This is my second one and I gave my used one (several years old and still working great) to my neighbor who is still using a shovel! Ugh. I originally got it at Home Depot, but when I looked to purchase a new one I found they no longer stocked it! I panicked until I found it online and ordered a new one. I LOVE this product and hope I never have to look for another pooper scooper.

Hi,
I have had this for just over 2 years now, and it still works great. the bag can fill up - but just think if you are using the rake and shovel the shovel fills up really fast and you have to dump it out. so if you have a big dog or a couple dogs you might have to use 2 bags, but since you are using grocery store ones - that you get for free, its not a big deal. I have a beagle, and when i got this she was a puppy - she got ahold of the bag clip when it was outside - and yes she chewed it up. I paid almost 40 for this thing, and so i was mad, but i called the company instead of buying a new one and they sent me a free clip. i didnt pay shipping or anything - so the company is great for replacement.
the only reason it doesnt get all 5 stars is your hand can really start to hurt by the end. and My 6 year old who i wanted to start her on helping in the yard is not strong enough to use it.

We just had a big thaw here in Michigan, revealing a bunch of lovely land mines (also known as Golden Retriever poop) throughout my yard. I was dreading the clean up with my standard pooper scooper so I came to Amazon and looked for something better and this is what I found.

The Poop Hound works very well. I expected to have a bit more of a hassle coaxing the poop into the bag, but there is enough tension to fling the poop into the bag quite easily.

I was also concerned that disposing of the bag would be somewhat unsanitary. But you just unhook the bag clip and the bag falls into the trash. The handle of the clip doesn't come into contact with the dog waste and the business end of the clip remains covered by the baggie, so you're not handling the waste at all.

It is super fast. I had about 20 separate land mines picked up in minutes, although I did change baggies in the middle of it. I only did that because I was concerned that the bag might rip open, there was still a lot of room yet.

The product itself feels well made and doesn't seem apt to break easily. But I've only had the thing for a few hours so I can't testify to that.

I do think it's a little pricy, but with Prime shipping, it wasn't bad at all. I would recommend this to anyone with a dog who dislikes dealing with their waste as much as me. Great product!!

I really like this scooper. With multiple big dogs in our house you know we have used every scooper out there on the market at some point. I had just gone back to the trusty old bag in a bucket and shovel until this unit came. It's light weight, super simple one hand operation, gets 100% of the poop 90% of the time in a single swipe and I love that I can use the plastic bags from the grocery store trip with it. It's also made scooping the yard much faster. There is a little trick though - when you squeeze the trigger to close it and sweep the poop into the bag, let go really fast so it sort of throws the poop into the bag - no bits & pieces left over this way. We would totally buy this again.

************* REVIEW UPDATE ONE YEAR UPDATE January 2010****************

Ok we've used this pooper scooper for almost a year now and it's still working just fine with no problems at all. No parts have broken or cracked and I keep it outside full time, rain or shine, freeze or swelter. We scoop almost every single day with multiple large dogs and this scooper is holding it's own. I just hose it off with the pressure nozzle to clean it after use, prop it against the wall and walk away when I've finished scooping the yard. Excellent product!

This is an excellent product. Cuts down on the smell because you don't have to get as close to scoop. Scoop works well except on fresh poop as has been mentioned before. Day old poop doesn't break up as easily.

I bought this for my mother who, because of back surgery, can't bend to pick up after her dog. I hoped that this scooper would help her, and it did exactly what it said it would. My mother is able to walk her dog in complete comfort because she does not have to bend at all. When she first got it she had to figure out how to use the bags (she says that plastic grocery bags work just fine), but once she did that it's been a breeze. Her dog often goes more than once, and she's able to use one bag for all of it, and then simply dumps it in the trash directly from scooper. We are very happy with the product!

We had an earlier version of the poop hound that we loved. But this one is even better. They changed the design a little. The mess goes right in a bag. All you have to do is find the piles in the yard and squeeze the handle, then when the bag is full dump it in the trash. If you have dog's then this is the only way to clean up the yard. I highly recommend it.

This is actually the second one I have had. I wore the first one out and HAD to get another one because it works so well. I really like how well it works and the fact that I can use plastic sacks from grocery stores, walmart, etc instead of having to buy specific bags for it. If you are looking for something that makes your pooper scooping chore easier this is it. Veterinarian recommended since my wife is a vet.
