Has anyone any ideas on how to prevent or cure the problem ( apart from
keeping the dogs of the grass as this is impossible )

One of them is a bitch?

Patch rather than a cu save used teabags and dry them. Your
neighbours may think you're a bit tight, but WTH?

When a patch appears, damp a teabag (or more, if necessary) and sow
grass seed on it. When grass is established, set into lawn. This
prevents birds from noshing the seed.
