Dog doodoo as lawn fertilizer?

I have an adult female Golden Retriever that does her business in our back yard. I usually go out and clear the minefield once or twice a week, just before mowing, so the dog s**t may stay on the lawn for a few days. The s**t, if left there, burns the lawn for about an inch all around the s**t, but after removal, the grass around the burnt area grows more rapidly and is a darker green than the rest of the lawn. The areas look like volcanic craters. The Golden eats only dry dog food. So it seems that too much dog s**t is bad, but a little is good. Has anyone ever tried to use a dog s**t formula as a lawn fertilizer? Just about any kind of animal poop can be used . You just have to adjust the ammount depending on the animal it comes from. True in general but horse manure needs to be mixed with hay or wood chips and left to rot for a year. Chicken manure is even more "hot" and needs to age for say, 2 years. You might return some of your visitor's presents to their owner's front porch. Or turn on a lawn sprinkler when the visitor appears. I don't want my dogs presents on my front porch. That's why we let her out in the rear yard. :-) -- Sure, it would work. The only obvious problems are how to collect it and distribute it evenly, which would require grinding it up. Then there are the issues of spreading any dog parasites, disease, etc across the yard, where other dogs may encounter it. Not saying your dog is a puss bag, but you get the idea And when you can buy enough nitrogen for an acre for $30, it doesn't seem worth it.
