Yes its the pee! Bitches pee tends to be worse. Think it the ammonia or nitrates in it.... Only way to stop it is to pour water over every time your dog pee's.... so not an easy option. Hence why most people (and soon to be me) end up putting gravel down!

My MIL always keeps a watering can handy to rinse where the dogs have peed and her garden isn't that bad. 

I'll try and post a picture of my garden  .

I have gravel in one section of my garden and hose down with water and disinfectand everytime someone has a pee, at my mums she dilutes it with water when they have pee'd on their grass. I have a huge bucket filled with water and disinfectand and a water can out at all times

see I thought that too....and then I was told that bitches 'burn' grass more because they squat and the urine is concentrated more in one spot, and boys (especially mine) practice their yoga positions to get it as high as possible (if he was a real bloke he would be having pee-ing competitions to see how far his could go  )

that makes sense

I dont have the patience to pour water over every pee done, would be doing it dozens of times a day!

no, and the water board would be out to check your usage too    You'd have your own personal hosepipe ban

trying to talk my hubby into the artificial grass but not getting anywhere, as well as the state of the garden from piddles it would end the nightmare of the mud

[dizzymare]

and if i water grass, ellie will then run round in it and bring mud in the kitchen  (her favourite  pastime)

I was about to post something similar - our grass is in an awful state- there is very little left over, tb. I've thought of buying turf to redo the whole garden.
