How to Stop Dogs From Burning Grass

High levels of nitrogen in your dog's urine can damage grass. Even if you're willing to ignore the problem, your neighbors may not appreciate a damaged lawn. Unsightly brown or yellow spots on lawns can easily be eliminated or reduced through a variety of methods.

      Continue to visit this pet-friendly spot every day. Praise your dog when it urinates in the area that you have selected. Gradually you will condition your dog to enjoy this area as its spot for urinating.
