Newly laid garden meets 16 month old pup!! Not good.?

Question

I have recently move into my mew house where the lawn was laid in rolls about 8 months ago. With the addition of an 18 month old puppy lets say it isnt looking ts best. Firsty how do fix or treat the burnt patchs where the dog has continually pissed? Is there a pet friendly feed that I cant treat the lawn with over the winter to help is growth and kill of any potential weeds. Finally what the best way to fix holes that have been dug and when should I reseed them????
PS Killing or getting rid of the dog is unfortunatly not an option LOL.

Answer 1

go to a garden center and ask for advice

Answer 2

You will probably have to reseed the holes if you don't want to wait for them to fill in on their own. As for the burn patches, they will fix themselves over time provided the dog no longer pees there. If you are interested in a safe preventative measure then there is a product you can get at pet supply stores that neutralize the pH in dog urine. They come in the form of treats and can be pretty pricey, but if you want to save your lawn then it would be something to look into. This would be especially so if you have a male dog and plants or flowers to protect as well. I have 3 large dogs so I feel your pain. My females are trained to go in a certain area and on command, however, just the act of running around destroyed my grass and like I mentioned my male pees on anything that is standing upright. I eventually resorted to building a dog yard just for them. Now I finally have grass in my yard and my male is no longer killing my plants.
Good Luck

There are products for the urine issue.
But I would definitely tell you that you need to be realistic! I learned the hard way. I had 2 pups who totally destroyed my back lawn in the first year - just from running around in it (destroying the turf), digging holes, etc.
They have to be confined to a smaller area. I am installing a decorative arbor and then some minor posts with a chicken wire type fencing attached to it. The dogs will be restricted to the area inside that fencing at most times. When I'm around to supervise, they'll be allowed in the newly sodded and landscaped area.

This is what you do for the urine spots

The other thing you can do is to flush the spot immediately with the garden hose which will dilute the urine. The bottom line is they will never stop the P$$ ing but you can chemically alter the dog.
Always check with the vet first.

Answer 5

I've seen HUNDREDS of lawns like yours ,one sure way to avoid all that is dog training.Areas of burn rarely recover they need clearing of all dead material & reseeding (getting a bit late now) .I have not spoken to any client with this problem who has found a satisfactory way to ensure their dogs wees a neutral urine.Generally all feeds are pet friendly,if a systemic weedkill is applied keep animals off until it dries.Weedkill should be applied when weeds are in full growth so again something for next year.At this time of year apply only root growth feed & mosskill if required.Accurate distribution of feed is essential otherwise you will have more burnt grass

We had this problem with our working cocker spaniel - dug the whole garden up!. However, this year we chucked some of the really cheap B&Q grass seed down and our lawn is lush and green now - unbelieveable - particularly as it was the budget version! Give it a go! Regarding the wee, not sure about that, I can't say I have noticed this but our dog doesn't wee in one particular place - he spreads it about!.

WHY have you ever introduced a 7 week previous pup homestead this is a few distance too youthful and intensely irresponsible of the breeder to respond to your question i might firmly say no and supply the older canines a chew toy or different toy to small to hump instead to instruct him it fairly is not okay to hump pup yet okay to play with toys
