Dog killing lawn
My dog is doing his business out side and No 1's are killing the lawn, patches everywhere.
Any suggestions to revive the lawn and stopped the mass murder of grass?
TIA

Rather than just letting him outside for a pee, walk him down the street for two minutes. Ours sprays every wheelie bin and most parked cars in sight, but we still have lovely green grass. I call it the "double whammy to neighbours".

I thought it was only bitches that scorched the lawns???
I have always recommended that the owner pees over the same patch, straight away - it tends to help the grass if done like this.

At least it should keep the sodding cats out of the garden!!
In general try to avoid the dog empting itself on the lawn when it feels like. If it does wee on the lawn, make sure you dilute it down with plenty of fresh water immediately after.

Pete, there was no need to edit. I am sure we all knew what you were getting at 
"Water volumes three times that of the urine were used to assess their dilution effects. A fertilizer effect rather than burn was noted when the site was watered at any time up to 8 hours after the urination. When the delay in watering was extended to 12 or more hours, progressively worse burns were noted. It appears that routine watering of the grass in early mornings would not be sufficient to prevent all urine burns."

Presumably this is a young dog or a bitch? In the former case, their urine will become less acidic as they get older but in the case of the bitch I can only suggest fencing off an area for her.

The reason a male generally has a lesser effect is that they do lots of smaller wees due to territory marking and so there is less in a single spot when they go, unlike a bitch which will tend to drop the lot in one go.
I think ours is retarded, he still squats to pee some of the time, but ***** his leg to crap

Some larger breeds don't always **** their legs until they're much older, if at all. I had to teach my first two how to do it but only at night when it was dark on their last pit stop of the day.

"Harvey" is a Dog, still a pup, 15 months old.
Generally he does his pi$$ing (in the garden) all in one sitting. When he is in the park, every 5 mins.
The Bitch was trained to use the toilet indoors, although she has left now, so now the toilet seat remains up....

Yellow spots on the lawn are normally caused because your dog's digestive system is too alkaline, therefore the acidity in the urine causes the lawn spots. A dose of one teaspoon to one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (depending on the size of the dog) per day will correct the pH imbalance and should solve the problem. The apple cider vinegar can be added to the dog's water or put directly on his food. The natural type from a health food store, not the pasteurized version from the supermarket. Two tablespoons of tomato juice on the dog's food twice a day will have the same effect.

A dog (male or female) should be producing urine whis is slightly acidic - ph of 5 to 6. Screwing with the PH is a recepie for health problems - it's the nitrogen in the urine that causes the burn to the grass, not the acidity.

I had the same problem with my Saint (BTW hes so lazy he never ***** his leg just squats like a big brown and white puff)
lay decking and keep a small area of gravel for him to slash on and use jayes fluid to clean it once or twice a week, if your dog needs a run take him to the local park/field/beach etc
only solution I found to work, but then as said before my dog is a lazy ****!
