We call these things Litter Bags here in NZ. Everyone in our Corgi walking group turns up with Litter Bags. Discerning dog owners in NZ always have these but there are a lot that don't bother and some local councils have got tough laws to sting the pockets of these people - if they catch them or they are reported to them by the public

The city I live in - Upper Hutt - which is only about a 20 minute drive from the capital city of NZ (Wellington), allows dogs the use of all parks as long as the dogs are controllable - on or off the lead - and any dog litter is picked up by the handler. Upper Hutt is overburdened with parks and I have four large parks within a 10 minute walking distance from my house as well as bush/forest reserves and a very lengthy river trail all of which allows Taylor to roam free.
