the area where my new little pup has been weeing is nice and green so i
can only assume the grass may be lacking nutrients? as the wee may be
acting as a fertilizer?


train the doggie to wee in the same area all the time
so that it doesn't ruin the rest of the area.

i hope you have a decent summer with plenty of moisture
as that will give the grass a good start. in the future
you may want to do any grass seeding in the later part of
summer or early fall as that lets the grass get well
established without as much competition from weeds.

mow it regularly at the tallest setting you can
tolerate, mulching blades/mowers are the best as that
gives the worms food and they turn grass clippings
back into fertilizer. ignore using most weed killers
or other poisons. fertilizers will come from rain and
repeated cuttings. spot weeding if you really want to
but i go for maintenance free lawn areas so i just mow
it and let the weeds do what they want. the rabbits
around here tend to eat a lot of them out of the grass.

this is all i can think of for now. enjoy and
otherwise good luck.
