My Favorite Dog Poop Scoop & Poop Bags

I usually clean up the “land mines” in our backyard using this handy dandy dog poop scooper and a Walmart bag.

I usually get the job of scoopin poop while hubby is mowing the yard.

This grab-type scooper enables you to “attach” the bags, so your hands never even come close to the “goodies”. Plus, it’s a very sturdy and durable powerful grabber. I highly recommend it.
UPDATE: That pooper scooper the best way to pick up dog poop without having to touch anything and these are the best dog poop bags… ever!
