how can i stop my female greyhound killing my lawn by weeing on it without stopping her from going on it?

Answer 1

take her out for more walks

Answer 2

A good pet supply has materials that attract a bladder filled doggy. Create an area in your yard, like a miniature horse shoe throwing pit. As if you are clearing a section for growing something. Put this magic potion in the dirt to get her into the FLOW of things as it were and spend time, congratulating her for a wizz well done, etc. Keep a big bowl of water on the corner of this spot to keep her interested, and important... create a little privacy as far as property next door or being in the OPEN goes. She'll feel more secure there than anywhere else and animals are vulnerable when they are taking care of biz. That's why they look around so oddly when they go...either that or they're bash-full like we are sometimes!

Answer 3

I agree with JJ. #1 Diet is important. If you buy less expensive foods, they contain a lot more fillers and things your dog doesn't need and as they process it their body rejects the items it doesn't need therefore raising the pH level or alkali in your dogs urine. I would recommend Nutro Brand food. It contains all natural ingredients and no harmful fillers. It also contain Glucosamine and Chondroitin which is very good at helping prevent Hip dysplasia and other joint problems. Which greyhounds are susceptible to. Also with a healthier food you will have smaller and less frequent stools, which means less pick up for you. Not to mention the health benefits for your dog, i.e. healthier skin and coat, its easier to digest. An overall "win-Win" situation for you.

#2 give your dog all the "Fresh" water she can drink. Her water dish should NEVER be empty. If it sits over night dump it and get her fresh water. She may not drink as much if its not fresh. Which in turn the lack of water to flush her system will also contribute to a higher pH level which in turn "burns" your lawn. Ice cubes in it also helps keep it cool and some dogs will play with them which in turn keeps them out of mischief.

#3 Also increasing the frequency of her going outside to relieve herself will also assist in the lowering of the pH level.

I know it seems I am pushing the Nutro Brand food but I have used it for years and have been very pleased with it. I included the link to their web site below.

Answer 4

Alot of times your lawn will burn from dog urine because of the food that the dog is eating. Try feeding your greyhound a different not so rich food or offer her more water throughout the day. I have three and my lawn is never burnt.

Answer 5

You could put up a little fence so she will not go on the grass or take her out for more walks because if she needs the wee were else can she go ?

Answer 6

All dogs pee on lawns. A healthy dog's urine would not harm your lawn. If your dog isn't healthy I.E Bladder infection, this could be the problem, Try www.paghat/dogpee.html. This is a serious web site, hope they can help.

Answer 7

train her to go on a particular patch in the garden. When you let her out for the loo imagine she is apuppy, take her to the spot where you want her to releive herself, when she goes praise her. If she goes elsewhere tell her no and encourage her onto the spot you want her to go on. This will work as I did it with my two year old terrier who is just as stubborn as a greyhound. You could then rotate where she goes in the garden, or you could just section this bit off especially for her as we have done. We don't care if the grass dies in that patch!

Answer 8

Just plain pee shouldn't kill your lawn...perhaps instead of focusing on trying to get her pee somewhere else, you should head over to your favorite gardening place and pick up some treatments for your lawn to keep it healthy...which is good to do even if you do not have a dog.

Answer 9

try a teaspoon of milk in a cup of water a couple times a day. the milk helps with the acidity. When you let her out to pee, take the hose with you and water the spot she pees on right away. it will dilute the pee and water your lawn at the same time.

Answer 10

try giving the dog a good few dollops of tomato ketchup last thing at night she should lap it up.i think it has something do with acid cancelling out the alkaline,it does work

Answer 11

Fee tomato puree (about 1tbsp) with evening meal. Train her to use a particular part of the garden you don't really mind about. My 'dog toilet' is covered with bark chippings.
