Instructions
Pick an area of the yard where it is okay for the dog to urinate. This can be in an area covered by gravel, sand, bark or grass that is out of view. Encourage the dog to urinate in this specific area of the yard. A pee-post with special pheromones can be purchased that will attract the dog to urinate wherever the post is placed.
Feed the dog with a high quality food that contains easily digestible protein sources. This will help to eliminate excess nitrogen-containing waste from the dog.
Set out a bowl of fresh water for your dog and make sure it has access to plenty of water throughout the day. As the dog drinks more water, its urine output will become less concentrated and less likely to cause burn spots in the lawn.
Dilute urine spots on the grass immediately after your pet urinates. Use a garden hose to apply plenty of water onto the grass directly where the dog urinated. This will dilute the harmful concentration of nitrogen and prevent the burn spot.
Sprinkle lime fertilizer onto the grass where the dog urinates. This will neutralize the soil’s pH and prevent the grass from being damaged. It is an inexpensive option if your dog is resistant to elimination training in a specific location in the yard.
