Finally, no more bending down for the icky job of picking up and handling your dog's poop with your hands and poo bag. The Sha-Poopie catches it in action. And if you have a bad back, Sha-Poopie still saves you from bending over to scoop it up.

If you are elderly, have trouble bending down, or just hate the task of cleaning up behind your dog, Sha-Poopie is the answer. Simply EXTEND, POSITION, RETRACT, and SNAP. That's all there is to it. You will love your Sha-poopie. It makes the daily walk with your dog a totally enjoyable experience again.
by Dan Shalhoub, inventor Early in 2004, my wife Karen enlightened me with, "We're getting a dog." I didn't want a dog, but the next thing I knew I was handed a leash and told that it was my job to walk the dog. I now had Pippin, a pure bred West Highland Terrier, at the end of the leash, and we took our first walk together. Suddenly he stops and does what all dogs must and I had the dubious honor of picking up his poop. My bad back wasn't liking the way I had to squat down and pick up the mess with a plastic bag. I thought, "There has GOT to be an easier way." I searched several pet stores, looked on line and through catalogs but couldn't find anything for the task. "After the fact" products were all I could find, but what I wanted was a "preemptive", catch-it-in-the-act product. Since I couldn't find one, I invented one... ...The SHA-POOPIE.
Q. What is the Sha-Poopie? A. The Sha-Poopie is a light-weight aluminum telescoping handle with a specially-designed cup that takes the bother out of picking up after your dog. Q. How does it work? A. When your dog is about to "do his business," pull out the telescoping handle and position it under the dog to "catch it in the act." Then just push the handle on the ground to retract it and snap the lid on the liner for easy disposal. Q. How do the liners work? A. Snap the liner onto the rim of the cup. It will stay firmly in place until you are ready to throw it away. Q. What if my dog won't "go" in the cup? A. Just be patient. At first your dog may be dubious about the Sha-Poopie, but with a little practice he will get used to it. We recommend thatyou use the Sha-Poopie fully extended when you and your dog are getting used to using it. Q. For which size dog is the Sha-Poopie best suited? A. The Sha-Poopie is designed for dogs ranging in size from 10 to 70 lbs. Q. What happens if my dog "goes" more than once on his walk? A. You know your dog's potty habits best. If he goes more than once, wait to close the lid until your dog is completely "done." The Sha-Poopie is designed so that the contents will not fall out while you are walking. Q. Where can I get replacement liners? A. Right on this page. Just choose them in the Item Choice menu below.
