Actually you will find that whatever the dog cocks his leg on might curl up
and die

But what is it?
Is it urea, or nitrogen? I have no idea. Are there any gardeners with a
bit of knowledge of chemistry that can answer
this one?

Please sir! me! I know this one!

It is nitrogen being applied in the form of urea. Urea breaks down in
the soil very quickly and provides TOO MUCH nitrogen which causes
'scorching' of the grass. When too much becomes diluted to just LOTS
(excuse the scientific jargon) the grass grows back like a
freshly-fertilised lawn (which it is).

I notice you say 'he'. Once he reaches puberty and starts cocking his
leg your problem will disappear. My two bitches will continue to
create havoc for the rest of their lives!
