    Hi,

    Any ideas as to how I can overcome this problem. He is great dog with big bladder but it's a smallish garden. New house and grass wasn't great to start. Now it's burned by dog pee never mind the sun.
    Help! Do I just go with artificial grass?. He is walked regulary but still needs to pee in between walks.
    I have tried to rinse the urine away but it's not working. ðŸ˜

    Wouldn’t worry too much about it! A couple of days rain and the grass will be up greener than ever!

    I don't agree, having had that problem. The pee needs instant diluting with a bucket of water if permanent damage is to be avoided. Best to train him to use a designated area of the garden.

    I wish, but he's really killed it I think!

    I'm doing that now but he catches me out. They go in and out of house as they need so I haven't always caught him. He's seven and we have just moved to a house with small garden so I guess he really didn't repeatedly pee in the same place as old garden was bigger and wilder. I will try the training to one patch approach. Thanks for suggestion.

    Most of it recovered but the areas burnt by urine stayed burnt I'm afraid. Tried training him to an area which didn't work either. I'm washing the pee away each time he goes at moment but thats once I catch him going!

    Old dog new tricks and all that. He's been peeing where he wants for seven years, you probably did his head in:).
