A dog waste collection device. The device allows a dog owner to place a disposable bag behind a dog to capture dog waste before the waste touches the ground. A collection assembly on the device holds a top edge of a disposable bag in a spaced apart position. Tangs mounted on the collection assembly are used to engage the disposable bag. A shaft slide is used to release the disposable bag without touching the waste or the bag. When the bag is used, movement of a shaft slide on the device will allow the disposable bag to release, bag and all, into a waste receptacle.
