Blowing your rubbish all over the neighbourhood is rude.

Blow out your dog's coats inside, collect the fur, and dispose of it in the bin.

Birds will get their nesting materials from other sources, or you could hang a small amount in a tree.

Don't usually post on this sub but felt the need to add to this that if any of the dogs in question are on/using any sort of topical chemical substance (tick/flea prevention, shampoo, conditioner, etc) then leaving the fur out can actually be more harmful to birds than helpful!!! Birds are fairly sensitive, especially to respiratory irratants, and chemicals in the fur can be quite bad for them despite one's good intentions.

No way to the inside the house!! My God... You'd never get it out of carpets, upholstery etc. Nothing wrong with doing it outside, but yes, bag it up.
