Brandy looking innocent!

Hello Brandy :o)

Male dogs will pee on everything! marking territory. That's why we have girls!! They tend to go into the paddock next door but there again, not everyone has a paddock next to their garden!!

I have two male dogs and no problem.. They prefer to do their puddles etc. on the shingle area in the dog run, not on the flowers, nor on the grass where they run and play, and practise their tricks etc.

Sometimes bitches ruin a lawn by squatting in various places making it yellow, and some people consider this more of a problem than owning males .. ... the damage can be limited by watering well on those grass areas to dilute...

It's funny, our bitches occaisionally squat on the lawn but no yellow patches, the grass just grows longer!!
You have very well trained boys TT!

Could be that the dogs' diet affects whether the lawn gets damaged by urine.. You are feeding yours the right way ! ;o)

I'm lucky that Conker was easy to train and Truffle just copied him ...

Thanks all - I feed Brandy Iams dried food as advised by vet for the lawn problems, I also have one of those silly rocks in his water. If I catch him I water but not always possible. He just thinks it is as much his garden as mine, and he is probably right so I will keep watering and reseeding as necessary! He is so obedient in everything else just seems to like the grass ;o)

I guess while Brandy is killing your grass, he's not killing your plants ;o)

He's lovely. As TT says, better on the grass than the plants. We had a male dog, always peed on the grass, always in the same place. We just used to go out regularly, watering it down.

My Shih tzu Pebbles is a bitch I find the grass grows longer & greener where she has pee'd lol, I was watching a gardening program the other day and they said to add tomato juice to their food as it saves the grass from yellowing after they have pee'd also there is something else you can add to their food but I have forgotten what it was Tut! Silly Me :0))
