    I don't know how or why, but feeding your dog foods and/or treats with Yucca Extract seems to reduce or eliminate urine burns on your lawn. I own a pet store and it has worked for many of my customers.

    Adding some horticultural lime should stop the grass from burning as well, dilute some in water and spray over the affected areas.

    I've seen this new product in pet stores called the Pee Post. It's a 7 1/2" yard stake that is treated with pheromones to encourage dogs to pee in that location. It seems like it would do a lot of good in keeping the dog off the lawn, and in whatever spot you chose. That way, you don't have burn spots all over the yard.

    The burn is due to salt damage. The only thing nitrogen has to do with it, is it acts as a salt along with all the other ions in the urine. Altering your lawn fertility program will have no effect on the prevalence of dog spots. The solution is to dilute the salts with water. Forget about the nitrogen.

    For those who have automatic watering systems in place, consider having a couple of small motion-detectors added. You can turn the system off to enjoy your yard, but Fido and errant pedestrians are quickly and harmlessly encouraged to go elsewhere.

    Dogs will pee in a consistent spot if trained. Put down wood chips or a smooth gravel (like pea gravel) in a corner of your yard, and when the dog needs "out", leash up and go with. Keep them in the prepared area until the deed is done. Repeat this behavior until the dog grows accustomed to it, it is no more difficult than housebreaking.
