It’s the first time I’ve been back to the Condado Invest resort in just over 2 years since the lockdown. Before the lockdown the resort was spectacular and still is. However - we were sickened by the amount of DOG POO that was littered all over the place. 

It made our stomach turn. 

The lazy bone idle dog owners who refuse to clean up after there dogs should be fined heavily and or asked to remove there pets from the resort for good. There is ample CCTV on the resort and would really like something done about it. Small children run about barefooted on concrete and grass and let’s say do not have the thought process to watch where they put there feet. It’s disgusting & and a disgrace. 
I’d like to know your thoughts about getting something done and taking steps to prevent this from happening. 

The conquneces the dog poo getting into a small cut on a child…..can prove fatal.

Hi,

Totally agree, with your comments, it is a disgrace, and no excuse as there are waste bag dispensers located all around, I have a small dog and wouldn't dream of letting her foul without cleaning up afterwards., My walks take longer as she stops and sniffs at most deposits!.

I had heard that the security cameras may not be working, whether that's true or not I don't know.

Additionally there is plenty of signage to keep dogs on leads and clean up after them  but these as you can see are ignored. There are plenty of security patrols but I have yet to see any intervention or anyone being caught.

Do what the UK does and appoint dog wardens?

Hi Trevor 

Thank you for your reply and your observations in agreeing with me ( and your a dog owner ) I can tell you that my message has had 60 views so far and my guess is most of them are the silent dog owners who refuse to pick up after themselves. 

I’ll take it up further with the association of pet owners on the resort. Maybe the CCTV isn’t working I don’t know but most of us have mobile phones with cameras on to catch the perpetrators leaving the feeces  all around for the children to trample in with there bare feet. If I catch anyone I for one will record them….then ask them politleyto pick up after themselves. If they refuse then I’ll have alternative but shame them by going viral with the recordings. 

Enjoy your day.

Hi, 

I know the Spanish have different regulations regarding CCTV and filming  it's not like the 

Uk, whilst within the Condado CcTV  is ok, but filming on phones may provoke some nasty confrontation.

Just be careful

Dogs in Spain are a real nuisance causing widespread problems like endless barking and craping everywhere 

Wish they had a resort that banned dogs completely, how peaceful life would be.

Hi 

Yes I hear you. For me? It’s a health and safety issue as I have a duty of care for the well-being of my kids and grandkids as they come first, which means if that makes the dog owners uncomfortable and provoking confrontation by filming them then so be it. I can look after myself because it’s the right thing to do 

The rules are the rules, no dog feeeces and if so, pick up themselves, bag it and dispose of it safely. 

But yes I will be careful and thank you for your concern.

Hi 

Dogs will bark as cats will meaow there’s not a lot we can do about that I’m afraid, we can do our best by comforting them or giving them food or seeing what the the problem could be because with some? They might be a valid reason if it’s constant and persistent, but yes your right…the most are simply annoying and attention seeking. 

The dog owners who don’t or won’t pick up the Feeces are the problem. There should be a €1000 fine for getting caught not picking there dog crap ( as you call it ) and €100 reward scheme for anyone catching the culprits in the act and making it go viral. 
It’s called “ Shaming “  them. 

I’m pretty sure that will stop the bone idle owners in their tracks.

I totally agree too!

I think that that people who feel its "ok" to walk their dogs on childrens play parks to allow them to pee and poo is beyond belief! I often see it on my garden, people walking dogs off the lead and the latest being a large alsation dog peeing all over the grass that the children play on - unbelievable!

Given the amount of land we have surrounding the apartments, why are people too lazy to take their dogs over to those areas? Allow their dogs to stretch their legs properly on some of the baron land?

I am a dog owner and would not allow my dogs to continually bark and disturb the peace of my neighbours another point of irrisponsible dog ownership. I would not take my dogs out to deficate on a childrens play park as this is just disgusting. I pick up my dog's poo as it is my responsibility as an owner to do do so, no one wants to see this, walk in it or have their children play on it and nor should they have to. 

I walk my dogs on a lead, not every dog is friendly therefore it is an owners responsibility to ensure their dog is safe.  If  a loose dog ran up to my dogs they would be frightened and show agression hence why my dogs are on a lead therefore keep your own dogs on a lead for their own safety. Dogs fighting due to lack of responsibility from the owner is not nice for anyone. You might know your own dog but you dont know other peoples so keep yours safe!

I also wouldnt leave my dogs out in the baking heat all day barking at everyone and everything as they are hot and distressed. Its 30+ degrees some days! Maybe the owners should sit outsdie in a thick coat all day with a bowl of water (if they are lucky) and see how that feels for them.

Sorry for my rant but your post has definitley struck a chord with me and lazy, irresponsible dog owners give other owners a bad name and in some cases shouldnt be allowed to keep pets.  I think there should be a dog-owners association to deal with dog owners on Condado (remember this is not the dogs issue, its the owners). having such an association may help deal with all the issues on-site.

Hi again

Yes I understand the health issues with exposure to dogs mess, I am surprised by the amount of security patrols around the site that nobody has been caught , perhaps its an after dark activity for some dog owners with less chance of being caught.

It's not just the public areas that there is dog fouling  all around the golf range and access routes are covered with mess.

As mentioned before perhaps dog wardens may be an idea.
