I think you're barking up the right tree, Chief.

Apparently doggie pee pee can be a problem for lawns...

I have learned that while we bought a CYV with a huge yard, Yorkie Merlin still needs to walk 2 miles before the mood strikes him. Dang yorkies.

Well, it would be more accurate to say "some lawns".

[dillywho]

We've been here for almost 8 years and had 2 dogs for almost the first 6 until they both died when they were 17. They didn't go for walks (much preferred the cart) but always used our yard, along with most every other dog in the neighborhood. We've always had and still have one of the nicest yards in TV. We had a fenced in yard back home which they always used and never had a problem with it either.

Could it be that a call to your yard service company might help with the brown patches? Those could be due to something that could end up claiming the entire yard.

I think that you will find that if you ask the walkers nicely to ensure that their dogs relieve themselves elsewhere, most of them will be happy to do so. You might even tell them that you don't know what's affecting your lawn, but that it might be something that would harm the dogs or the treatments might and they sure wouldn't want that. In any event, it is your yard and you do have the right to how it is used or not used.

Get a lawn treatment for pests where they put down a pesticide. The company usually puts up a sign to warn of the danger present because of the chemicals. Dog walkers are loathe to walk their dog on a lawn with that sign. Ask the company for a few extra signs. Apply the signs as needed.

Just a thought.

At our former house in VA we had our mailbox on the street. As I was approaching our drive in the car our neighbor was letting her lab poop at our mailbox. I asked her not to allow their dog to do that, she replied"my dog likes to do that here". I said let you dog"do that at your mailbox, don't let him do that again here". It makes it unpleasant to even get the mail. She gave me the "deer in the headlight look".

I had the same problem back north and a friend told me to put moth balls by the mail box. It worked seems dogs don't like the smell of moth balls and they stayed away from my mail box even after the moth balls were gone they would just walk on by on the other side of the street. It only takes a few moth balls to do the job.

I played a golf course down in Naples and they put moth balls all over in the bushes and I was told that it keeps the critters (snakes) away.

Now that is a good suggestion Chris.

We can now discuss whether squatting or lifting the leg will make the spot more intense.

Good morning everyone!

Perhaps we could start a "Go Pee On Their Lawn" club.

We could have a schedule so we can get full pee coverage; have special events where we pee as a group covering the entire lawn and even have news cover an event to promote our cause. l2ridehd, we'll make you the first club president since the idea originated with you. And Gracie, we'll have you work on a Mission Statement for the group! We might even be able to recruit Fumar as our publicity chairman!

Happy peeing everybody!

[graciegirl]

Oh my. I am so glad I can't be good for tooooo long.

And I have good company on here.

And now back to our regularly scheduled thread on Dog uhh stuff.

Many people treat their dog like it's a god and don't care what mere humans are experiencing.

However, if you see someone allowing their dog into your yard, you might want to approach the person nicely, and with your best diplomacy, introduce yourself, ask your neighbor about his/her dog-- dog lovers love to talk about their dogs-- and then ask them to not let their dog go on your yard.

That way, you won't make, um... A stink.

Good one!

Seriously, this is good advice. Hope your situation improves!
