I agree with Skybo. It depends on the dog, temperature and frequency of watering. I'm not a TV resident yet but I see the same problem where I live now. Neighbors have the same type of yard and grass that I do but will walk their dog and let them urinate on others property. How rude can you get? I have always owned dogs and love them all but my dogs-my yard. If you let them out into your yard before you take them for a walk, they will learn to do their business there. I'm pretty sure it is the owners who are rude and need training. Male dogs will attempt to "mark" territory even when they have no water left in the tank but that is not going to kill grass or damage plants. Certainly, letting my pets urinate on your property is not the first impression I would want to make when I meet my new neighbors. Here is a link to the product that will stand guard:

I can't wait to get to TV, even though the big event of the day is dog pee! It seems mild in comparison for what us wanna bes have to deal with on a daily basic living outside of the bubble. I wish the most stressful thing in my life was dog urine.

Years ago we had two large Dobermans, now that was a lot of pee and their urine did not turn our grass brown.

Is it possible you have a grass fungus, maybe red thatch? After the dogs died we had a few summers with brown patches which turned out to be a fungus (caused by high humidity) which was easily treated with chemicals by a lawn service.

I think dog owners are so inconsiderate, they carry those plastic bags, but if you are not watching them they don't pick up CRAP....

Better yet..why not walk your dog in your yard.Let YOUR DOG crap all over your yard first..then if the little darlin needs a walk...great..at least he won't be leaving his lunch in my yard.
The dead spots in my yard are due to your dog. I don't see any dead spots in your yard..Give us a break.
Maybe it's one of your neighbors and not their dog.

That's the beauty in all of this.....most of us have some extra time to b***h and moan about this sort of stuff....
Actually, it's a battle here, and just about in every other community where pets live. Here we have TOTV to sound off on!

Seriously, I think people should take their dog out for a walk after they have done their business in their own back yard. This is why we all own a property of our own and are not renting an apartment on the streets of Manhattan or somewhere like that.
Absolutely. Go Pee and Poo on YOUR OWN lawn first. That first concentration of urine is awful on the lawn. I go to my lanai and stare at the dog owners. This way, they know I am watching them. (sometimes..I DO have a life). Better yet...bring your own Fido out and scare the crap out of their little shnitsoo, pitsooo or whatever.

I have seen folks letting their dogs crap on the grassy areas on the side of the golf cart roads and not pick it up....I guess they think we won't stop and confront them. I did once and the language out of that man's mouth was really something. He was a real potty mouth. Wish gollf cart's had traceable license plates sometimes.
