Dog pee on lawn - solutions?

sonypc100

Hi

I'm aware of giving a dog a tablet or supplement thats supposed to stop lawn burn from pee'ing but dont really want to go down that route.

What we currently do is have a watering can on standby and spray some water over the area that dilutes the pee.

I just wondered if there was anything on sale or natural remedy that I could add to the watering can to make it more effective?

Thanks

I just accept it as part of owning a dog. Every few weeks I go round and scrat up the brown patches with a junior springbok rake, sprinkle a bit of compost on and a bit of grass seed.

I bought a herbal remedy to add to my dog's food and he ended up with really bad tummy problems had to seek vets so expensive too. After that I decided on a small area of the garden I was happy for my him pee (under a large bush) and I trained him to always pee there - didn't take very long actually, so wish I has just done that in the first place. Damaged parts of your lawn need to de dug out then fill with compost and reseed. Dont use patch magic unless you buy the dog repair one as the normal one has added nitrogen which is exactly what you dont want.

I train my pups to use a specific part of the garden as a toilet, as the kids played on the grass.

In one garden I taught them to go in the borders , not on the grass.

In another I used a spare bit of garden beside the house. A friend used the area behind the garage.

In another I used net fencing to fence off an area on three sides and laid down bark or sand. ( not cocoa mulch which can be poisonous to dogs).

It all depended on the layout of the garden.

When we moved house the dogs we had at the time adjusted to the new area with a few days supervision.

Water it directly afterwards. It's an excess of nitrogen causing it. Keep a full watering can at the ready and just rinse the area right away. Or just do what I do and stop caring as the pee burns are nothing compared to the trenches their claws dig up when playing out there.

I have seen in pets at home a yellow stick thing which you knock into the ground and they are supposed to be attracted to it to pee in that area, keep thinking about trying one but don't want to waste my money right now and find it doesn't work.

The pee sticks don't have good reviews, unfortunately.

We moved last May to a house with a prestine lawn. Now after 2 and sometimes 3 dogs weeing on it it is wrecked.

I've ordered this to try to revive it

We had this problem some 10 years ago and of course still. We gave up on the lawn and went for astro turf. Best thing we ever did. Its still down and looks as good as it did when first put down.
Other than that, a friend uses "Dogs Rocks" and yes she has a nice lawn with no brown patches, but it looks like a mud bath at the moment lol.
Good luck x

I taught my dogs to pee against a thick tree that we have in the garden as I was sick of dead lawn patches.

If you don't have a tree, something like a bird table would work...anything that's upright they love to pee against.


Trying to stop them pooping in plant pots however is a whole new level of challenge

Agree with other posters - training is much better than using medication on the dog, especially "from the internet".
