Those of you w/dogs
What do you do about them peeing in the yard and ruining the grass?

We take Jensen out on a leash to his "spot" on the side of the house to try to avoid that.

Re: Those of you w/dogs
i dont have a dog now, but at my parents house we do. We walk our dogs, but when they would be out back with us playing/running and would go.. we would hose down that spot with water.

Re: Those of you w/dogs
My dog has been peeing on our grass for almost 2 years now and we don't have any spots on our lawn. I think it really depends on the type of grass you have.

We designate an area on the side of the yard for him to go to the bathroom. It doesn't always work. I also saw they have a fake rock, with a scent on it(like the scent on a wee wee pad) that you can put in an area and the dog will go to that spot to go to the bathroom.

1. Char has a certain spot she is trained to go to - the "piddle" spot.
2. We give her a vitamin once a day that makes it so her pee does not stain the grass. You can buy these at any pet store. They have a few different brands - ours is called "Green Saver".
ETA: We put the vitamin in her food.

Re: Those of you w/dogs
Before we got our dog, I intended on training him to pee only in one area, but honestly, we don't really concern ourselves with it now. We prefer a more natural yard anyway, and there are some things that we feel are just futile to try to control. I don't even notice where he goes.
If you want to follow your dog out with a pitcher of water, flush the area right after it pees so the chemicals in the urine that would affect the grass are diluted into the soil below the roots.

Re: Those of you w/dogs
We leashed him for all of his puppy hood, so now when off-leash, he knows where to go. We got complacent this winter and let him pee on the snow (b/c it was impossible to get to his usual spot), so he's made a few "mistakes" this spring, but for the most part he pees in our mulch.
