Default dog killing the lawn

As the title says. Is there anything that can be put on the grass to stop
the dog urinating on it.


When the topic of dog urine killing lawn arises on pet programs on the
radio, frequently advice is given to provide the dog with more of a
vegetarian style diet. Feed it less meat, and bulk this out with rice,
pasta and cooked vegetables. This results in less corrosive urine. (It's
probably less pongy, too.)

I have seen vegetatarian dogs featured on a tv program, where the dogs
were hoeing into a plate of washed lettuce leaves, so you have no worries
about the dog not being adequately nourished with less meat and more
vegetables.

Other than that, then as others have said, about watering it in and so on,
but I can see how that would be time consuming and you would have to see the
dog doing it.


The solution is to teach the dog to turn the sprinkler on after it pees
on the lawn, and have a timer turn it off after a few minutes. Once your
pooch has mastered this manoeuver, YOUR LAWN PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED!
