Had the same over the years with my Boxer,absolute nightmare.
Moved into a new house 18 months ago with lovely lush grass - not any more.Lovely burn marks everywhere and big craters where he's been running around chasing his ball.
He's been snipped as well but never made much difference at all.Regularly watered the pi$$ stenched areas straight after he'd done his business but you have to be very quick and use LOTS of water,again,the grass still got buggered.I also got sick of going out in the middle of winter to water the grass while he had already run in and was laying next to the fire !!!
Have given up all hope.
Just enjoy your dogs mate and get a nice lush lawn when you're old and grey

Dave he's a beauty mate, lovely markings.How awsome are this breed of dog. Iv'e had dogs for years and i would only ever have bullys now. Iv'e got some pics of Albert (my male) skate boarding with one of my lads and when we had the snow he was sledging with my daughter. I love them both but the wife is going mad about the lawn. I built a new kennel for them and put it in the out room at the back. The pair of them dragged it out into the garden and up by the kids play area, about 100 foot, because thats where the old kennel was. We leave the back door open and they either sleep in the kennel, half way up the stairs or under the lads beds.
They sleep half way up the stairs? crazy sods, mine barely stands on a step before having to move the fat little begger, no way could he sleep on a step. He sleeps at the top of the stairs though and knows exactly when Postie arrives before promptly bombing downstairs and headbutting the door at full pelt
PM us links to piccies if you have any online

If you have a dog but still want to have a beautiful lawn, you may be facing a few problems. Female dogs seem to burn lawns more frequently than males. This is because females squat to urinate while males lift their leg and urinate on trees, shrubs and fences.
When your pet urinates on your lawn, it can cause the grass to burn out and yellowish dead spots will appear. This causes unsightly patches in your lawn because of the high levels of nitrogen in the urine. Though grass needs nitrogen to grow, your dog’s urine is limited to one small spot. This can cause a concentrated amount of nitrogen to be applied in a small area, which causes burning. The larger your dog, the larger the burnt spot that will subsequently appear.
There are several ways to solve the problem of these unsightly dead spots:
· Take your dog to a park or wooded area where it can urinate.
· Saturate the place where your dog urinates with a large amount of water immediately after it does its duty. This will cause the nitrogen in the urine to be evenly distributed and diluted.
· Over-seed any burnt spots that appear in your lawn. You can also replace burnt spots by applying topsoil and reseeding or digging out the spot and replacing it with a piece of sod.
· Reseed or sod the area with a urine resistant grass, such as fescues or perennial ryegrass. Though these grasses aren’t completely urine resistant, they aren’t as susceptible to dog urine as other types of grass.
· Set aside one particular corner of your yard as your dog’s bathroom and train it to go there when it feels the call of nature. Cover the area with gravel or mulch so it can be easily replaced. This prevents dead spots in your lawn and helps to prevent odor from feces and urine.
· Buy a food additive or supplement that you can place in your dog’s food to neutralize the nitrogen in your dog’s urine. These can be purchased at pet food stores and veterinarians. Be sure to purchase a product that doesn’t alter the ph balance of your dog’s urine, as this can have a serious effect on your dog’s health.
· Be sure to keep your dog well hydrated in order to lower nitrogen levels in its urines naturally. Your dog should always have access to water at all times.
These tips will enable you to enjoy the companionship of a dog and keep your lawn beautiful, green and free of unsightly yellowish spots that are caused by high nitrogen levels in its urine.

Because in your original post you said that they had just started to pi$$ on your lovely lawn. That in my interpretation says that they must have pi$$ed somewhere else prior to this?? Now without your clear and concise explanation how were we to know this? Perfectly valid question.

You mean there's actually a system on the tinterweb where you write a word down and information just falls into your lap, without recourse to thread-highjackers, numpties or timewasters?
I don't believe it.

There are gadgets that you can get which stops dogs leaving a certain area, If I remember the dogs are fitted with a collar with an electric device, and then there are other things that set up a perimeter and if the dog crossed that they get a minor shock. This could be handy for you if you only stay in a place for a short period of time as you can take the thing with you and set it up in the next house. Will work out cheaper in the long run than ongoing medication.

We got some dog rocks - you basically put them in the water for the dog and it naturally neutralises the acidity. Apparently bitches are wors than males, but ours does drink a lot!
We had our lawn turfed and no brown patches 6 months later.
Although, I always let the dog onto the drive (gravel) for a whizz before she has a play when she taps to go out.
You can get them from petplanet.co.uk
