Quick Tip: Dead Grass From Dog Urine
If your dog isn’t trained to potty in one particular spot, here’s something you can try to keep your grass from being killed off:
Faithfully water the spot where the dog urinates. You’ll have to watch and pay attention to where they go, but watering it asap to dilute the urine should help the grass. If the grass has turned brown already, try sprinkling a generous layer of white granulated sugar over the area and then watering.

I have another tip, to be used if you already have dead spots on your lawn. Just take a spade, dig down around the little spot, and flip the sod over to expose the dirt. Loosen the dirt by jabbing your spade into it a few times. Sprinkle some grass seed and water daily for a week… works like a charm. Of course, you have to stay on top of it or the spots get too large.

break up drywall over the spot and water; it helps absorb the dog urine

I have 3 dogs. What I have found that works wonders is giving the dogs a bit of tomato juice. The acid it the tomatoes cuts the acid in the urine and eliminates brown spots. A tablespoon of tomato juice or paste a week does it. I also feed the dogs leftover spaghetti. They love it!

We had a Shetland Sheepdog who took a liking to a cup of tea (no sugar but with milk)who, up until the time she ‘discovered’ it, left spots on the lawn. Within a week or so of a regular ‘cuppa’, the lawn spots never happened again.It works!
