Funny thing is my dog is very good about letting us know when she has to take a piss outside, but when it comes to poop, she almost always does it right in front of the patio door without warning, so we do have to pick it up, but not outside. It's actually much better that way with her being a smaller dog we pick it up right away and toss it in the trash rather than digging it out of the grass. We've tried teaching her but for some reason she prefers to crap in the warmth of home. We did take her to the beach recently and she did her business in the sand, being that she never poops outside we don't normally carry anything, so I ended up doing a little dig and bury cat style on her droppings and all done. We've never really had a problem with it outside, but I do get really frustrated when people don't pick it up around our apartments, especially when it's a larger dog and pretty damn noticeable, but in the whole complex which takes up a whole city block there are plenty of green areas and only 1 dispenser for bags and a garbage. I think if there were more dispensers around in the areas people let their dogs out, most of the time in front of their apartments they would bag it more often.
