Seth and LiLo both poop a lot, they poop like Great Danes... I just try to pick up the yard either everyday, or every couple of days.

I think you need to adopt a poop-eating labrador, they're a dime a dozen.

I'll probably revisit raw, but honestly not while Simon's still around, I don't think. Realistically, he doesn't have that long, and I don't want to upset his lifestyle any more than I have to. I don't know. On the other hand, he might love it . He loves a little added turkey or eggs to his dinner. At the very lease, he is regular. And when he can't wait and goes in the house it's very, erm... firm and easy to clean up after. So yeah. There's that.

Sofie liked eating raw food but didn't have the teeth for it. I bought her premade stuff for a while... she even at the turkey liver that Seth wouldn't touch I wish Seth could handle eating raw because they at least get some enrichment out of their food. Both Seth and LiLo eat their kibble in a matter of minutes, Seth would be done in 30seconds if I didn't water it down. The only thing I have to say though is that LiLo still had big poops when getting raw food... I didn't really see the pick up being that much better. I will say however the nice thing about raw is that the poop doesn't have a horrible odor like it does with kibble!

It sounds gross, but I keep the lid on the bin and the bin and the pooper scooper are kept in the corner of the yard furthest from the house. It works for me.
I actually end up picking up after five dogs, my three plus the two farm dogs. It hasn't been terrible but I also haven't had snow to deal with. It also helps that Gigz poops in one area of the yard. I'm not sure why, it's just his personal preference.
