We have a CYV and have a small area cordoned off where the dogs relieve themselves. They hated the bark chip mulch that was there, so we replaced it with pine straw and they are happy with the pine straw. You will find that after a couple of days, your dogs will get used to pine straw and you won't have any problems.

Also, a walk every day will help your dogs relieve themselves. All dogs need to walk to get their internal systems working properly. But, rather than taking a walk through your neighborhood, take them to a public area, and pick up after them. Some people don't like dogs urinating or defecating on the portion of their grass next to the street, even when you pick up after them.

A CYV is the best solution if you have dogs. Not only for containing them on your property, but the walls also help with dogs that like to bark at intruders.
