Hi,

We have 3 dogs and a similar problem. They walk out the back door, down off the deck and pee just off the deck. When they want out it's just so easy to open the door and let them go. But what I hear is that you have to train them where to go in order to avoid this problem. Always lead them off to where you don't mind them going and eventually that'll turn into their spot. We've just been too lazy about it!

Dear DC,

Thank you very much for your inquiry. Dogs are not easy on grass. Keeping Âdiggers at bay is not something I have ever been able to figure. If the urinate in the same spot over and over, the grass has no chance (I will say that a daily flushing of that area with water will do wonders for smell and color). The bottom line is they must spread their business around. Otherwise efforts to keep grass will be tedious, cyclical, and futile.

Again, thanks for the question and let me know if you have more.

Respectfully
