Once you have added your client's most recent "feature" requested, he (or she) will invariably say, "Well if you can do that..".
The more clueless your client is about programming the more he thinks he (or she) knows, and tries to help you out.

Any one use the word "just", don't stop. Run as fast as you can.
"Just a little change" or "Just do it".

He should just put his dog in a doggy stroller and go to the mall, like they do around here.
I don't have a dog. I tried dogs, cats and children. None worked out. 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

That's probably because you tried to treat the cats like dogs, the children like cats, and the dogs like children.

Quote: He said he walks his dog, Jack, round the quarry four times a day, and that occasionally, even when the Jack Russell is on a lead, there are times when he cannot see him.
Quote: He said: “The kids are rolling in it, it’s that long. You don’t know what they are rolling in."
Quote: “There is a fair bit of dog mess. I’m very frustrated.”
Now, I wonder if these are at all related?

I expect it's other people's dog mess he doesn't like.

So that's what they fit when they microchip a dog.

Get someone to deal with that dog.[^]
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Pffft.
The article only describes the area as a "quarry". While it does hint that it's probably owned by his municipality, there's not a word about it being a park. Why should every square foot of the earth have to look like a golf course?

Few options:
- Go somewhere else for walk.
- Get a bigger dog.
- Do it yourself.
I need to know if he has no other issues in life that this is a big one or everything is a problem for him.

You beat me to what I would have posted.
Better yet - exercise his dog (and the dog's sphincters, too, no doubt) in his own yard. I mean really, if he loves his pet he should love all aspects of it and be a little less willing to share.

Dogs are generally happy in grass. They eat it too often. Don't if this one likes it and the owner understands his dog's behaviour.
There are plenty of people who love their pet dogs. But they do not understand that particular breed's needs, and are not interested in doing all the other work that comes along with it.
I have seen many people around where I live who have no clue about how to take care of Labradors. Most of those dogs appear to be extremely overweight due to incorrect nutrition and absolute lack of exercise. This leads to plenty of health problems for poor dogs. Also, many of them I have seen buy cute puppies and then simply get rid of them after few months as they grew too big too fast.
There must be some mandatory education before one can own a pet.

EDUCATION JOB ONE
- Don't take your pet to relieve themselves anyplace but on your own property.
- Supposed 'Cleanup' isn't adequate - until you're ready to sit there.
- Have your pet wash the tires on your own :elephant"ing car.
- Life isn't a cartoon: A fire hydrant is an official relief station.
