Litter boxes are not typically cleaned daily

Your house smells like cat shit, you are simply nose blind to it. Please clean up after your cat shits.

What are you smoking? You need to clean litter boxes daily.

Small dog in a fenced yard, picking up after him is a non issue. His business breaks down in a matter of a couple of weeks and there's never enough to become a problem. If he goes while on a walk, i pick it up.

Especially with big dogs where you're picking up fresh, steaming, human-sized turds with nothing but a few microns of plastic between it and your hand.

Having it in the house constantly coating everything (usually clean laundry) with a dusting of poo is definitely worse.

I'd say the weather is a factor

they have the genuine automatic litterbox that arent death traps, i see people hating scooping up poo use those.

Fenced yard with a small dog, so I don't have to pick it up on the daily, only if he poops on a walk.

Bagging it up on a walk is decidedly worse than scooping it out of a litter box if the dog happens to have diarrhea. At least the litter clumps up, making cleanup much easier..

Good luck training a dog to use the box consistently though.

Nah, it gets plenty cold here, I'm mostly just playing around with the classic dog people vs cat people war.

I'm fortunate to have a fenced yard and a dog that absolutely does not fuck with the cold. He's out, does his duty, then back in within like 2 minutes.

I trained my dog on a litter box. She only pees in it. I'm very glad I did.

However, I'm fortunate enough to have a basement I could put it in where it's out of sight.

That's a thing and people.do, especially apartment dwellers. Dogs learn it quick too.

It's just no one would have an animal shit in a box in the house unless they absolutely had to.

Oh...

1. I don't train my dog to use a litter box because I don't want to clean out a shit box.
2. You probably could train one to use the toilet, but you'd probably need to make some modifications to make it possible. I don't see most breeds of dogs being able to balance themselves quite well enough for things to work 😅

Cats leap and perch with more ease than dogs so you'd need a contraption that might get in your way.

Its a good idea, but from my understanding, you still have to take dogs on daily walks. Maybe not first thing in the morning, but at least once a day or so
