I have tried the green grass and nutra vet suppliments to stop this, but nothing seems to work. Don't want to put anything in this water just in case the cat drinks from the bowl. Any suggestions?

Ernie mentioned the calcium carbonate (ie, baking soda). Puncture the ground where the grass is yellowed with a stiff tine rake. Water it thoroughly, sprinkle on the baking soda. You don't have to make a white patch, but you do need to get a fair amount into the grass and soil. The water will help leech it down deeply.
You can then spread around some PetOff or any other pet repellent to keep the dog from revisiting the spot. You can also train your dog to go only in certain areas of the yard and this will help keep the offense to where you would rather it be instead of your lawn.

Get some stuff called Grass Saver by Naturvet. Grass Saver is a healthy food supplement. This unique formula contains a synergistic combination of B-Complex vitamins and amino acids. Imagine how green your lawn can look. Simply feed Grass Saver to your dog and rid your lawn of yellow spots. It comes in a beef flavored tablet or a liquid, and a biscuit treat. Also make sure and get the patch kit and treat your lawn too. These are avaliable at most pet stores. This stuff works great! :)

If your dog will drink or eat it, lemon juice in the water. It will help nuetralize the ammonia in the urine, its the reason it kills the grass, cause the urine is too concentrated. I take it shes female, females tend to have much more concentrated urine with a high level of ammonia. Otherwise keep the hose plugged in. Follow her outside and water down her pee spot. Or find a place in the yard you dont care about and confine her to pee there with a small fencing or leash. I long ago stopped caring about my yard after the 6th dog was included in my group I have 2 males, and 4 females, also a 7th foster dog which is also female. I just dont really have a nice back yard.

Training your dog to go in a certain spot and ONLY that certain spot will help reduce that. Also, like a previous poster said, you can wash the urine away with water each time. But that may get tedious. If all else fails, try www.petedge.com for more products to try to help alleviate the yellow grass.
Good luck!

You will just need to train your dog to use the bathroom in a spot that you choose. The spot that you choose will turn yellow, but you can pick a place out of sight. They make treats that your dog eats that is supposed to balance the acid and pH in the dogs urine to keep it from turning the grass yellow, but I have never tried them.

Doing something to alter the PH of urine is nuts. The whole idea of the PH is to properly dissolve chemicals in the digestive process.
Get some Calcium Carbonate and sprinkle it on the areas where the dog urinates that should neutralize the base PH.

Only way is to wash down the pee spot with water. Make a pee bad with rocks and retrain your dog to use that only.

Don't let your dog pee on the grass that's what happens when they do.
