This is a worthwhile topic! Disposing of shit is a real issue for dog folks, and it's interesting to see how people handle this. I too live in the country, but that isn't a magic recipe for easy or sanitary disposal. Moving shit from a dog's area to another area where it is still a problem for flies and odors is only of minimal efficacy. Even country folks need a system that works, and everyone's environment is different. I can tell you as a young dogman living in the suburbs, I faced the worst fly problem ever. Those were the days when you had to rub down a dog's ears with pink Swat® paste to keep them comfortable. Now I live amidst cattle, and my dogs are never fly bit. Why? Flies go to the dirtiest, smelliest organism or material they can find. Any flies in my current situation attach themselves to cattle, and avoid the dogs.

Here's how I deal with dog shit today. When I scoop, I grab loose rocks, bedding, and dirt, and mix it in with the shit right in the scoop. So I have already diluted it, and coated it to reduce the smell. Then it gets dumped along the outside of a fence line. With a little bit in an area at one time, the pasture grass grows right up through it, and then it gets covered up. A little rain comes, breaks it all down, and the process starts over. No odors, no flies, and cows seem to be discouraged from grazing that area, smart critters that they are.
