we have a labrador *****. when she wees on the lawn, it burns the grass away, the lawn is only small and has begun to look unsightly, holes are appearing where she goes, which is making the lawn unsafe and unhygienic for my young children to play on. she is walked 4 or 5 times a day with plenty of time to relieve her self. i know i will recieve answers such as "she is marking her terratory" that i already know. what im after, is way to stop her doing it.

I always get into trouble when I say anything on here about dogs. (Dog-owners can be such sanctimonious b*stards). So I'm not saying anything other than this:
How can anyone who watches soccer suggest that Didier Diver Drogba should be player of the year when Berbatov is a class above him.
Berbie reminds me of Eric Cantona, without being so much of the Cant.

My first thoughts were, I've always taught my dogs to pee on the lawn or grass and where else would the poor thing be allowed to pee if not on the grass,...the living room floor?? sorry but you must always have a place where the dog is allowed then proceed to teach it to do it's business there, a female dog also with age has a problem about leaking urine and does it when playing, or when gets excited must pee, the Vet can give you medication that will help the dog with this problem. I would definatly take her to the Vet on this problem of peeing too much. I have had that problem with a dog and it cured her.

before and after you walk her and if you bring her out to go to the toilet at night or anything, bring her to a particular area. eventually she'll always pee there cos of the smell. i know someone who put a load of pepper down on their lawn to stop their neighbours dog using it - thought it was a bit cruel though. poor dog sniffing up pepper! labrador's are very trainable though, so you should be able to retrain her to go in a particular area. if not you'll have to try and keep her off the lawn/area where you children play. good luck!!

Females don't mark their territory. She's just relieving her bladder. The problem is you don't want a dog. Dog urine is hard on lawns, but it's cruel to expect her not to do it!

Once she has started doing it ..its very difficult to stop her as she dosent think she is doing any thing wrong ,,the only way is to take her to a spot in the garden where she is allowed to wee and hope to re-train her into doing it there

our dog was trained to use a cornered area in the garden, which we put shingle down on and put a little fence round, and he would do poos and pees on there. he was very very clean and always used this area once trained to do so. basically taking them to the area, getting them to go toilet and then really praising them and giving treats, after a few days they will get the hang of it. good luck
