MBW Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Anyone know of any decent products/old wives tales that will stop or reduce the effect of dog pee burning my lawn? I have tried dog rocks but not impressed with them, and can't really fin anything else decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flynny Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Edited due to not reading post properly doh! Might be worth posting in the dog training section mate, for an answer Atb Flynny Double doh!

TJ91 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Not used them with my past dogs mate but there is dog rocks, they are a rock(don't know what they are made of) that you put in your dogs drinking water bowl, this is " supposed" to stop this?...... I don't know whether they work but have seen them advertised in the back of shooting mags. Might be worth posting in the dog training section mate, for a better answer, Atb Flynny I would also like to see any answers for this, my mums garden is a mess from the dog wee. She tried the rocks after I mentioned seeing then in a shooting mag...waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxus77 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 the most resistant grasses tend to be perennial ryegrasses and fescues as well as clover, failing that artificial grass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aga man Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 i have heard that mixing tomato ketchup in the food stops it. don't know if it works though my jack russel bitch hates tomato ketchup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenshooter Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Keep watering can with water and use a pint or so of water to dilute the pee - works well. No brown patches when we do that and it's relatively easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudbas Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I`ll second the tomato sauce method just put some on his dinner my springer wont eat his if theres no ketchup on it oh its got to be Heinz ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERCE Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Train her to pee on next doors lawn. More seriously you could put down a small wood chip area in the corner of the garden & teach your dog to 'get busy' there & not allow it to go on the lawn.

delburt0 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 A small amount of apple cider vinegar in the water it neutralises the acids in the pee , I saw a big difference when I started my bitch on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBW Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Cheers so far folks any other ideas out there? Il give the ketchup a try for a week or two and see what happens. Although It seems funny how two acidic items have been suggested. Ketchup/apple cider vinegar worth a try though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffd Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Used to have bad brown patches but the have started to disappear, thinking about it I have been giving the pup a couple of tins of sardines in tomato sauce every week for the last 3 months.

harry69koi Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Our dog used to pee on the grass big style so i ran thin twine in a criss cross pattern around the lawn so the dog couldn't walk on the grass Left it there for about a month and after i took it away she never used the lawn again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did that the terrier would of bust its legs or cut them open when charging out the door at a blackbird or the like that landed on the garden!

MBW Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yes I have tried taking them for a walk...... Do your dogs get a walk every time it needs a p***? The problem for me is when it's dark, taking two lurchers round the fields at night with a torch don't look too good to the landlord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
