The two dogs I had were easily taught to wait on the floor mat right by the door. Once someone wiped their paws with a towel they would proceed forward. 🤷🏼
If it’s wet or snowy out, I throw down a town on my way out, so my dog has no choice but to step on a towel on the way in. Combine that with using a leash and she has no choice but to stop until I’m satisfied with her feet
My sister-in-law does similar with a bucket of clean water, so she even gets dry dirt off, but that’s excessive.
Humans have lived in filth their entire existence and whatever being tracked in, if it’s not visible, it’s cleaner than most of human history and it’s clean enough to not cause harm
I take precautions to minimize the amount of shit I’m exposed to. Tooth brush goes in the shower bag, which doesn’t live in the bathroom. Take my shoes off at the door, so I don’t get street shit in my house. You follow?
Its more, theres no harm in wearing your shoes inside. It’s like saying we should all wear gloves inside to not touch germs, just kinda silly y’know. Humans evolved barefoot, a bit of dirt on the floor isnt the be all and end all of existence.
Birds and dogs shit all over the street then you people wear your shoes in the house!? 🤢
Make sure you take your dog’s shoes off, too.

A lot of people’s dogs are trained to wait inside at the door for their paws to get wiped down before walking into the house/apartment/whatever.
But sure, if the dog did go walk outside with boots/shoes then yeah their owner would obviously take them off once they were back inside.

I don’t have a dog.
Solution: adopt a dog.
If I got a dog it would be half way to having a kid. I can barely take care of myself, I don’t need another soul to disappoint.
You can wash your dog’s feet you know.
Birds and dogs shit in my house.
My condolences.

“Maybe the pibble ait yaur baybeee!”
Meh
You don’t notice when you step in dog shit?
Piles yes, but there be smaller trace amounts too
I treat my shoes like I treat my cutlery - if the pieces of shit are small enough that I don’t see them, I’ll gladly lick them
Same with anuses tbh
Insert Summer making ass eating noises.
You don’t brush your teeth?
you eat dog shit?
You eat dingleberries?
Wait til you learn what’s on your toothbrush
Less shit I tracked in from the street than y’all.
Less shit is still shit on your toothbrush.

Even worse than that - I wear SHOES in the OFFICE. How disgusting is that??!!??
Makes more sense than your private home.
Guess what, everything has poo and bacteria all over it.
Your keyboard or phone are far more disgusting than any shoe. You’ll live sunshine.
The ley is the amount. If you’re actively tracking more shit into and all around your house you’re going to have more than someone who doesn’t.
I love this ‘why try; give up’ attitude. Getting out of bed must be hard if you’re just going to be back there later.

Nobody said it was lol.
Guess what, my floor is cleaner than yours.
Are you eating off it? Or are you just very concerned about keeping your socks clean?
Well I change my socks every day regardless, I guess I just think it’s gross to bring the street into your space.
Guess what, it makes no difference.
I’d rather less shit particles, thanks.
Your phone and your keyboard maybe lol.
Everyone’s

Shit mines probably cleaner because I change keyboards more often than the average user.
Been disinfecting my phones and keyboards long before 2008 lol.
Oh, you even breathe in shit. Nevermind the carpet.
