Of course, what Reina said was just a joke. In fact, owning a dog in Germany came with very strict rules; dog owners were required to walk their dogs at least three times a day, each walk lasting at least an hour. If the standard was not met, the government would dispatch a professional to walk your dog for you, charging ten Euros for each walk. If, during the process of walking the dog, the owner did not dispose of its dog's poop properly, then a hefty fine would be issued.
However, nothing could really be done about dogs eating their own waste, unless they were put through strict food refusal training, like police dogs. Another option was to train those dogs to relieve themselves outside and to put a muzzle on them when they were out for walks. Although it could be seen as unfair to the dogs, it was a much better option than having them lick their owners face after eating their own waste, which would only hurt feelings…
