Dogs: poor training and laziness. Take your dogs out and they won’t poop your lawn (and walking the dogs is good for the soul).
Robot mowers may deprive you of the pleasure but they are also very good for your lawn as the tiny bits cut are small enough to remain unseen yet re-fertilise your soil. Downside is they don’t give weeds a chance to blossom (or should that be bloom?) and therefore deprive pollinators from a food source.

What a beautiful garden regardless of what's mowing it.
What are you on about? I’ve trained mine to go in the garden…. My boys and one girl go for miles every every day come rain or shine…. Baxter is laying next to me looking rather pooped after his Saturday stroll
I suspect you may know more about dogs than me, but I don’t know of any dogs who don’t go for a dump in the garden when nature calls? It doesn’t take that much effort to clean it up…. Granted it’s not the most pleasant job!
I knew the regular little off cuts were supposed to be good for keeping it looking nice….
Anyway…. Aren’t they about to start promoting no mow May? It’s all very confusing
Sorry I didn't want to sound flippant. It's quite easy to train a dog to pee on command (great when going for a long drive) and to poo at regular(ish) times. Just like a human, it's easier to start early but old dogs learn tricks.
During the walk is the ideal time, because the dog is excited by the walk; You still have the same unpleasant job to pick it up, though. "Accidents" will happen if you change his food brutally, but that's one you can't pick up anyway...

I have one and have dogs, I just turn off the auto timer and send it out manually via the app a couple of times a week after I've done a dog egg sweep, though that only works if your garden is small enough and mower big enough to cope a couple of times a week rather than having to run a low spec one almost constantly to cover a big lawn

Reading this all with interest, I’ve ran an underground cable out from a new build with this in mind, grass down last week so need to make a decision soon! Space is about 600sqm (I think) with slopes down toward the house and I’m thinking Husky is the one to go for?
This is the model I’d earmarked

this one does my lawn of 280 square meters with ease. Only has the bluetooth app not wifi but it's pretty reliable. My 4th year with it.
Just looked 1 year. Let's see how it does.

Thanks,l for the suggestion. I’m going to redo the base in the next weekend or two and if that doesn’t work check the warranty. Reassuring to know I could just have it badly wired or have a dud.
Should be a fun task seeing as though I put him under the bench. Doesn’t seem to have docked from yesterday either so definitely needs doing.
