Default Answered: Dog urine killing my lawn

Does anybody have any suggestions how to dilute dog urine so as it will not kill off my lawn (and some shrubs). I have 3 dogs.

there are several ways you can go.

urine is acidic, so putting some slightly alkaline liquid on the lawn would neutralize it. but since urine isn't that strong, water is usually the best solution.

Other people rope off their lawn or put lawn deterrent chemicals on the lawn, but why have a dog if you wont allow it on your own lawn?

If you don't want your dog to urinate on your lawn too much the best idea is to take them all for morning walks before you go to work. A dog needs a daily walk and the morning is the best time to do it, without walks they will develop bad behaviors anyway, so my best advice would be to walk them where they will mostly mark territory and use up all their liquid on someone else's lawn.

Thanks for that. The dogs do go for a walk daily but I still have the problem.
