I agree that dog urine, especially female dog urine, could be impacting your lawn. You've made quite a statement so I assume you know for sure that all of the damage is from from pooches.

It's difficult to deal with owners who don't realize that not all of us want our yards used as a rest room by dogs. Honestly, when one dog pees, it acts like a magnet for other dogs...they want to mark, make the territory theirs...it's just doggie instinct.

Is there any product you might apply to the lawn or more specifically, the perimeter of your property so the dogs might not want to enter your yard? I realize I'm asking you to take on an expense you shouldn't have to, but it might work, ill feelings will be prevented and hopefully, your lawn will return to its bright green and lush status.
