Help with my lawn

My lawn is ruined by my 2 German Shepherd dogs male & female. It has hardly any grass where they have been urinating, and has holes in it as well, I am no so fed up as to what to do with it. Yes I have tried everything on the market to try and eliminate their urine from tablets in their water, keep off stuff, watering when they have been for pee and nothing works.

I have returfed it 3 times now I have given up. I have just cut the grass and it looks awful. Can anyone suggest what to do please. I have taken some photos but don't know how to put them on for you to see.

 

keep the doors closed and take them for regular walks?

if they spend time outside in the garden, there is no way you can stop them from peeing on the lawn or on your flowers

there is this gadget, which some say works well, but it is supposed to keep cats/foxes/dogs etc out of the garden ... some say it needs to be connected to mains to work properly:
Cat repellent | Ultrasonic squirrel repeller | Cat repellent

 

I used to have 5 cocker spaniels , and a very green lawn I used to buy a bag of growmore in the spring and feed the lawn every two weeks , yes I did have some yellow patches but not for long , also I never cut it very short kept it at about 1 inch workded a treat. Also well watered if it hadnt rained in the week.
The lads were trained to pee on a post set in gravel , the three girls got away with murder

I've heard that putting tomato sauce in their meals helps neutralise their
urine. How healthy that is for the dogs, I don't know.

 

Good evening Ragdoll and welcome to the site. Section off part of the garden as a dog loo and don`t let them on your lawn. By fencing off part of the garden the lawn may be smaller, but it will be yours, not the dogs.

 

My dad and my sister both keep dogs, and both have sectioned off part of their respective gardens for this very reason.

I guess if there are mishaps, and you spot it happening, you could dilute the wee quickly with the hose.

Thank you everyone for your replies.
The dogs do get walked 3 times a day by dog walkers which is quite expensive. I have also watered over their pee all the time, It is not an option to section part of garden off as I have a large pond on one side of garden. My dogs do not like tomato sauce, [I love it] lol.
I did have the garden stoned with no turf but it hurt their feet and mine when they walked on it and everyone thought it made the garden smaller.

Think I am going to have to make either little flower beds and fence them off or put little flags down homemade ones where they have peed.

Thanks again eveyone x

 

It is unfair towards the dogs if they feel like weeing and they cannot do that because they would damage the grass.
My sister in Italy keep her two dogs (one medium and one large) in two separate fenced area which they cannot really be used for anything else, it doesn't look so pretty in there but the dogs are happy.

 

I have four medium sized male dogs and a small lawn and although it has some bare patches, it doesn't look too bad at all, despite the dogs weeing all over it.

It used to turn into a muddy bog over winter and I was going to pave it over (which I really didn't want to do) until someone advised me to fence it off over winter to keep the dogs off it.

I use a roll of wire and some stakes from B&Q and usually round this time of year, I erect the fencing so the dogs can't get on the lawn. Fairly cheap and cheerful but does the job. You could alternatively have a picket fence erected so you could just open and close the gate.

Then in early March I chuck down a load of grass seed and leave it a few weeks before letting the dogs onto the lawn.

They developed a habit of weeing against one part of the fencing and damaging the lawn the other side, but I've attached plastic sheeting to the fencing now so the wee runs off onto the patio instead.

They have the run of a large patio area in the meantime, and if we've had a good snowfall they are allowed on the lawn to play.

 

get one of these from maplins .... works for cats too
