On GQT some time ago, it was said that adding a little tomato sauce to
a bitch's feed would prevent the scorch. Try it. I don't have a lawn
or a dog, so cannot vouch for it!
For the lawn now, I would just give it a good watering and be patient.

indeed, over seasons the lawn should take care of itself. My lawn recovers
remarkably well from dog & cat **** and poop and dry summers. Your lawn will
recover well enough by itself if it is a standard fescue/rye/clover type
grass mix.

Firstly get some spray cleaner on your keyboard as the CAPS LOCK key is
stuck.
Second train the dog to pee in one place, preferably near your compost heap.
If no compost heap then a corner of earth that don't matter too much,
alternatively take the dog for a walk more.

As for the grass, cut out, re-turf or seed.
Water well.

My Golden Retriever did the same to our lawn when we first got her. Strange
thing is the scorching stopped after a while and we now get strong growing
patches instead. I did nothing and am still not sure whether her pee changed
as she got older or the lawn got to like it.

Did the pee compost the dead grass maybe?

The lawn burn is caused by the dog's urine being high in nitrogen content.
If your dog has reduced its protein intake or drinks more water than it used
to, then this will reduce the concentration of nitrogen.

Nitrogen is a main component of lawn fertilizer, which is why you may see
extra grass growth if it rains soon after the dog has wee'd. If you gn the
garden at the same time as the dog, then just take a watering can and douse
the affected area.

Janet, you are right! I stand corrected.
