The best way to get rid of brown spots that are caused by dog urine is to use a high nitrogen fertilizer and then over-seed in that area. It is important to continue to water and keep the area clear of foot traffic to ensure the coloring returns to normal.

You can not get rid of those ugly brown spots thats where the grass has died. In order to remedy this problem you need to dig up the grass replant new and fertilize. Then keep your dog from urinating in those spots repeditly. Other then that your stuck with ugly grass.

There is a product you can purchase at pet stores that will fix it with some type of natural borne bacteria that helps to fix this problem. You can also train your dog to urinate in different areas, such as the woods which would stop the problem at the root cause.

First, you need to keep the dog off your lawn. That can be done by sprinkling regular chili pepper powder around the perimeter of the lawn every few days. Then you can throw a bit of top soil down on the spots, and re-seed.
