I just read this and thought it interesting - but would it ever work around here? .....
'One of the issues that accompanies encouraging reticent owners to clean up after their dogs is the fact that dog mess blends into the background on pavements and areas of soil, making it easier for the irresponsible owner to simply walk away and pretend that they haven’t seen the mess their dog has left behind.

In order to counteract this effect and highlight-literally- the problem of abandoned dog mess, some organisations at both a local and national level have sought to make the actual presence of abandoned dog pooh itself more noticeable, by a range of novel methods.

West Dunbartonshire council have taken a literal approach here, by arming its local clean-up workers and the people who are tasked with dealing with abandoned dog mess with a tin of bright pink spray paint, to tag the abandoned piles of poop in a highly visible colour scheme. This achieved the result of both alerting the unwitting passer by to avoid the mess, and shaming irresponsible owners into picking up after their dogs in the future'.
