If you have a dog then the lawn is already in trouble. I've never
seen a lawn yet that looked anything other than ragged with dogs
around (except perhaps for the chihuahua/huge meadow combination which
has some hope ;-) ).

My mother's had some success by watching the paths the dogs usually use
around the garden, and getting them paved. Her dogs have 3 or 4 places
where they like to rush up and down, stand to watch if anyone is coming to
the house, or wait by the door hoping for a walk - the rest gets a lot less
wear. All those areas now have paved paths, and so far this seems to be
working.

Mind you, she does walk them at least three times a day, every day, which
also helps!
