Can anyone help me with a solution to my lawn problem. My dog keeps
urinating on my lawn (better than in the house) but as a result the
grass discolours in this area a few days later and I end up with a

very
patchy lawn.

I dont want to stop my dog going out but I want a beautiful lawn as
well.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do about this problem?

Get rid of the dog!

Or keep it on a lead and only let it out into the garden when you can
control where it goes.


Better yet, keep a bucket of water by the door and chuck it on the grass
after the dog has peed.

Alternatively, chuck it on the dog before it has peed on the grass and
it will learn to pee somewhere else :-)


or even easier still do nothing. My 2 mutts **** on the lawn and bits of it
die off however the lawn always kicks back. Several things you can do to
help your grass recover is not to pamper it with endless chemicals, cut it
higher rather than shorter, let it self seed if it is inclined to do so and
encourage clover as that will help close up gaps. I do all of the above. My
lawn is looking very nice this spring, lovely and lush and full, yet my
mutss **** all over it.
