    Hi there. Our dogs love to find new ways to challenge us, don't they!

    In the short term I would manage this by wearing a sturdy rucksack, lined with a carrier bag, and putting the poo bags straight in there I think!

    In the longer term it sounds like it would be helpful to work on your pup's ability to 'ask permission' for things. Playing games like 'unlock the hand' are a great start to this, if you haven't already. There's some info on the unlock game here: https://www.thelabradorsite.com/teach-a-dog-to-take-a-treat-gently/ :)
