Default My Dog Keeps Killing My Lawn

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?

Thanks

Mark


I see Gardener's World picked up on this one last night (again). In
their opinion the only simple solution is immediate and copious amounts
of water, literally within seconds of the offence. Otherwise you're
heading for a bald patch. Titchy did show how to replace the bald patch
though. If this happens to you a lot you will need a good supply of turf
for patching. :-)
