How to FIX Dog Pee Spots 100% of the Time!

- Fixing dog pee / urine spots in your grass or lawn can be very easy. In this video I show you why dog pee spots happen in your grass, how to prevent them, and how to fix dead spots in your lawn. There are a couple of different ways to fix the pee spots in your grass and it depends on which type of grass you have. Some grasses will spread on their own, which means you can use a plugger tool in the grass to fix it. But some grasses do not, so I show you how to re-seed those areas.

Great tips mate. They will come in handy when the grass start's growing again.
Very useful information Jesse. My yard comprises of tall fescue mix with patches of perineal rye and that’s why it doesn’t fills up bare spots. 🙏
Good job, your helper is great too 👍🏽
And that’s the cutest co host around! I’ve found your channel extremely handy in setting up our new yard. ⭐️👍🏻
Ur helper made the video. What a good boy. Listens so well.
Thanks for the tip! Your son is precious 💗
It's really nice to see you include your son. It's all about the family time.
Jesse i have two great danes and i just water the spot like you said and it works!! the rock tip came in handy
Great video!! What I got most out of this video was the father and son bonding.
Thank you.
I mean the grass advise was really great, but your little man was definitely the star for me! How cute is he!?! And a legit good helper! Great video:)
I was self employed for 30 years in the yard care business. Great video .
Nice to see how a father teaches his son. 👍 Thanks
Well needed video. Practical advise. I think I’ll get the plugger then buy a fresh cut roll of KB grass to speed the process. Thanks for sharing! Great 👍 channel
My perennial flowers continue to take up more and more space since they were planted so ive been making the area larger each year which involves removing sod along the edges, ill take a sharp square edged shovel cut out the pee spots and use that square as a template for the fresh sod im removing from along the flowers ,instant fix, loved how you let junior get involved
Thanks so much for all the videos and tips you've shared.
Nice channel, Thanks for the help!!Love the bulldog, we have had them for 18 years. Your boy is great also!
The plugging part was the best your son was amazed lol great video!
He really was. Must have the grass genes in him lol
Good info!! I like to plug most of the time , especially if using a rotory mower, as to not accidentally blow all the seed and mulch out before it takes root, with reel type mower not really an issue, also you can add a little annual ryegrass in the seed mix for quick coverage , the perennial grass seed will take it over , might notice a little texture difference only neg
I love how your son actually LISTENS to what you're asking him to do. He doesn't overdo it or look at you like you have ten heads, he just performs the task and stops when you say. I know he's just a small kid right now, but you can already tell he's going to have above average intelligence. There is more to it than what I just described. I'd be very proud of him, Dad!
Wow. Thank you so much for the kind words! I am a proud Dad! This is an awesome comment!
I like that you’re getting your helper trained up from an early age.
I don't think I would have watched the video as long as I did but that cute little boy had me watching it all the way through😊
What a handsome little assistant you have there. Jesse, you are doing a great job. Very informative.
Thanks Tim. I appreciate the support!
You Son is adorable. He likes helping in the yard. I think we paid more attention to him ❤
I have black beauty grass and I over fertilized this past spring and had burnt spots and I opted to buy a roll of sod and did the transplant option and it worked just fine !
Wow the little guy is much more cooperative than mine 🤣. Good video! The RUclips recommendations are again spot on I just saw a big dead spot in my front lawn where I renovated this year and I was so upset. My own dogs go in the back yard and I just don’t care about the back as much lol. Luckily they somehow don’t burn the grass which is nice. But my beautiful kbg in the front was smoked off in one spot that I just fixed a couple months ago 😖. Probably the same neighbor that throws cigarettes on my lawn too lol. Good video!
I don't have a dog, yet I watch and like. Gotta support the homie.
'what you have to do' starts from 6:00. ... yall are welcome!
Cool. Thanks for the tip. I live in Minnesota too.
Your little boy is so cute. I like that he makes sure first before doing anything. He spreads things like a pro. You have taught him well. I had three boys. Now in their thirties. Enjoy this time when they are young they grow as fast as grass. Thanks for your informative videos.
Thank you so much Denise. I appreciate this comment more than you would think ♥️
Great. I like the assistant.
Thanks. Great advice.
These videos are great, you definitely will be getting a bunch of subscribers in the future. Do the Scotts/Penington repair patches work well for this?
New subscriber. Very helpful tips. How to find out what kind of grass we have?
I spread elemental sulfur at 5 lbs./1000 this spring after doing a soil test. Just started seeing spots as we are seeing drought conditions. Not a trace when we were getting ample rain.
Great job Lawrence !!!
Can't heart this comment enough. Thanks for watching like always Ron!
I have zoysa in NW Florida. I've had good luck with using pelletized lime several times a year. It's applied lightly to the areas where my 3 dogs urinate. As long as I do this several times a year, the grass does well. If I skip a season or two, the grass will burn and die. Then I have weeks to compound the problem.
Totes accurate. I've tried so many things and I have finally settled on a potty area in the corner of the yard. The dogs are doing well with going to the spot. I love how fascinated your kid was :). Sub from YardBrah
Your son seems like a really good kid!
@lawnLife Than you for this video. I just bought a property that I have to take care of the lawn now and the previous owner had dogs, and guess what? Yes the lawn is destroyed.
I have a question for you though... What type of grass do you have, and do you think that I could get it to grow in SLC Utah?
Thank you
Nice video! Having Bermuda grass in my yard, I would just add that for a small spot like you demonstrated with … no real need to plug it. A healthy Bermuda would fill that in just fine in a couple/ few weeks.
That said, what you did solves the problem immediately !
This is true! Same with KBG if you want to wait depending on the size. I usually only plug the really big spots. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video at last great job !
Great tips on dog pee.... I love your videos...
What about setting your watering for a heavy dose each morning? Wondering if that would dilute my dog spots. I’m testing it out to try.
Hey Jesse, I like your video about repairing damaged grass due to dog pee! However, how do you keep your KB grass from spreading into your neighbor's lawn or do your neighbor's have the same type of grass? Thanks!
I don’t even have a dog but I’m still stuck like WOW 🤩😆 Your son needs his own channel, too cute 🤘🏽
Haha. He is pretty awesome. Maybe in a year or two we'll figure something out for him! Thanks for watching!
Dog rocks? This is new to me, but I'll try anything at the moment. I live in an apartment complex, and there are several of us that have limited space to walk our dogs. (My dog is paper trained, but he likes to get out for fresh air and a walk.) We have brown dead spots, and usually get warnings from the manager, so we've got to do something. Do you buy these rocks at a pet supply store like Petsmart? And, you put it in their water dish? What's it made of, and does it make the water taste different? Any help would be appreciated! 🙂
My lawn was sodded with what’s called elite plus, which I understand is supposed to be 90% dwarf fescue and 10% Kentucky, do you still recommend reseed for the pee spots or the other method? Thanks
great video -- from a fellow minnesotan
We have Dog Rocks in the bowl. Have had dog rocks in the water bowl for 4 months. Grass is still dead. Maybe it is less dead?, but still dead. Thanks for the video. Helpful
i came from YT trending and stayed for the content 😊
Omg Lawrence is adorable!
Awesome video, which grass most burn resistant to dog urine? Any recommendations?
I have used Dog Rocks for years with much success. My female dog doesn’t drink enough water, so sometimes I’ll get some minimal burn from her and only her. The plugger is great. Very informative video. Cheers
Have you had to change to rocks
Every four to six months I replace the rocks.
I enjoy the tips from this video. My dog walks as she squats so I have pee burn caverns between lush grass valleys. At least I understand better.
Great vid. Thanks
Howdy sir, I appreciate this channel this really helps with my lawn business. What would you recommend doing for an area that’s about 5 by 7 feet in multiple locations?
With multiple urination spots?
@@LAWNLIFE yes sir, there multiple spots in that location.
thanks bud!
Cute boy, good helper, too.
My grass is the crappy grass brand. Its garbage and weed based. White bumblebee flowers and cabbage. Its quite lovely. And it looks like The Hulk was practicing with a rusty pitching wedge in a cluster filled arc that extends as far as my dogs cable. I'm proud of it! Jerry Springer's A&R will be by any day now!! Thanks, for serious, for the golf course tips. I'll try to apply this here, in shyte lawntown.
For creeping grasses like zoysia, If you put sand on dog urine spots, the grass will grow over the sand and fill in in a couple of weeks. Same principal they use to repair divots on golf courses.
Thats why most golf courses have that sand w/little seed in it to fill on divots. That's the container usually kept on the cart somewhere
i got sick of dog pee spots and just ended up keeping the grass at highest mower setting which is prob 4 inch
no more spots, doesn't have the look of short grass but it grows on you. Im in cool season so with long grass don't have to worry about missing water, dont have to worry about sun skorching it, no more dog pee spots.
However missing a mow is brutal, grass grows really quick here and since the mower is maxed out, you end up cutting too much to do mulching so you have alot of bagged clippings to move back and forth. Going to try to lower it down to 3 and see if that still works.
We are in Texas we have buffalo grass. 3 big dogs. What is best re seeding or plugging the yellow spots?
Thanks for the vids! Your helper is stealing the show however, but I bet you knew that would happen! :)
I live in Canada and this last winter was brutal for pee spots, we have two dogs that total over 300 lbs in combined weight so we deal with a bunch of pee during the winter months. Usually have snow on the ground constant for almost 6 months out of the year and the pee has nowhere to go. Spring time hits and it all melts, lost half of our back yard this year alone. We fixed it just like you showed but I’m afraid it can’t be established in time for this winter and we lose even more this winter. Might have to buy sod from here on out 🤞
Just go for potty walks in the neighborhood instead. My senior dog almost always has to go for a sniff walk to help her go potty. Walking gets things moving better and healthier too.
We have a rock area for our dogs to go to the bathroom. My girl has been really good at going there but during the winter months she rather pee on the snow everywhere. At least the new puppy knows to go to the area no matter what.
Live in Alberta myself. We have two border collies/Australian shepherds. This spring was awful. Went all out and built a dog run/ aerated and de thatched the lawn before seeding and top dressing. Hopefully it comes back ok.
Perfect timing Jesse. I was just cutting the grass an hour ago and noticed my neighbor let their dog pee in my yard.
Hopefully these tips help you out Lile. Thanks for watching, like always!
Yes! Mine too. Not neighbor but some dog owner waking their dog
Man what's with these dog owners? Or even worse they drop a big 💩 and don't pick it up.
I have a tiftuf Bermuda lawn for which I can't find seeds, can I do all the steps except add seeds, will it still work?
I have bo idea what type of grass is have. Still learning. All day watching your vids. Thanks for all the info. But your way farther along than i am.
Have you ever tried using Zeolite as a soil amendment for urine smell and burn?
We've used dog rocks for our male and female beagles for the past four years. Works as advertised. We just put them in their water bowls and replenish them every couple months. Went from multiple pee spots all the time to none.
Did it mess with their stomachs when you added it?
@@MrShabindigo they've had no issues
@@bweber6256 Cool! I might look into that. Thanks
They haven’t worked at all for me. Wish it did!
@@defgloui what brand did you buy?
In my experience dog rocks definitely work to a degree, I have noticed over a couple of years of using them that they reduce the severity of the burn by about 50%.
what blue grass type/mix are you using?
I love my neighbor, but he lets his 14yr old dog out at night and time and time again I see pee spots in the morning I didn't see the afternoon before. I put my proplugger to work, it repairs damaged spots instantly, it's a must have for lawn lifers.
How does it help? You just have to reseed anyway. Right? And we can’t control the dog at the backyard all the time. 😒😒
You could go both ways, i chose to go with proplugger since it matches current turf the most much faster, seeding is good but it takes long time to mature, requires more attention and my neighbor dog tends to go back to the same spot again killing it, ugh.
I have this fertilization “problem”, except mine isn’t from a dog but a deer and her now 4-point velvety antler spawns that decided to claim the backyard as their area. Plenty of free fertilizer in exchange of a couple fruits every now and then :)
Yup but I love our dogs and allow them an extra space for their business! Your son is a darling and he will improve your ratings. ❤
I think the marking the spot and watering is the best solution because if those rocks in the dog's water work, you are creating a health issue with the dog. When you reduce the acid in their food, they cannot digest the food properly, then you have a much bigger issue. Thanks for all the grass tips, though. I do have a question about St. Augustine grass. From watching a couple of your videos, I have been doing everything wrong, and I have recently noticed this beige colored stuff on the tips of my grass that come off very easily. I have no idea what it is. Any idea?
What a great life …worrying about a how the very very expensive grass looks…need that life.I ve got the hose.
Sad
The rocks worked for us. Seems strange and doesn't make it perfect, but on a St. Augustine lawn it works very well. In the heat of summer, you still need to water down any area that starts to brown.
A bit difficult to repair by reseeding in the heat of summer though, yes?
I've never had an issues with dog pee stains until I got an Austrian Sheppard (male) and he kills everything with is pee. It's horrible. No issues with my female Mal-Shi. I"ve tried the rock, it works for the first week, but you need to buy new rocks weekly, too expensive.
Can you do a video on how to identify different types of grass? Looks like I have 3 types.
Most cool season grasses have a mix. I should've mentioned that. I will put this on my list of video ideas.
Don’t have a dog but I’ll keep it in mind for tha homies 😂
TY! Brewer's Yeast. Give your dog a pill a day and it dilutes the urine. Zero dead spots
I like the magic trick at 6:37 where you make the dead grass vanish! Lol
Hey Jesse, when you reseed on those small spots, can you mow over it? I mow my fescue 2x a week.
I want to see more of the little cute helper in your video
Question about the plugging method. When you pull a plug from good grass and place in the affected area - you’re showing that you’re then installing the dead plug from where you sourced the plug. Does that area also heal over time? Or are you just transferring a dead spot from one area to another? Thank you
It will heal itself over time.
We are dog folks. We put up stumps or decorative wood objects to simulate a fire hydrant. Or sign. The males love targets and females will go near that object after a male. or another. Give a few targets near your sidewalks. I'll keep them out of the center areas. Thanks for the spot tips. I need to up my lawn game
lol is that why I have loads of higher grass then others ! my dog is helping!
Can you use Topsoil or lawn soil?
RPR Perennial Rye spreads
I never have pee spots because I water it down when he is done in the same spot. Been doing this for years. Works great for me. I typically follow him with a water can. 😜. Good info though. Thanks
My dog sneaks off and pees when's I'm not noticing sometimes and I end up with burn marks. I try to stay on top of it, but it's tough sometimes! Thanks for watching!
Hey Dad … 🗣 Teach by example 👌 Really nice to see … Enjoy the Google time 🤩
All good info but as a lawn tech I advise against peat moss they drudge it from swamp areas and that in turn can bread nutsedge very invasive and noticable from a mile away.
How much water do I need to spray/dump on the pee spot?
I have a mix of creeping red fescue and slender red fescue and a large male dog. I had this problem when he was younger, but now he's 7 yrs old I don't get any pee spots.
Thanks man great video.
I can conform my little 10lb boy burns the lawn. I do like you and mark a spot with a rock or golf ball and blast it with H20. If I could only train him to pee in a sprayer bottle and fertilize the whole lawn...
I read somewhere if you put non-salted broth into the water dish, it makes the dogs take in more water because they enjoy the flavor which delutes the amount of nitrogen on the grass.
Damn dog…love it.
Great informative vid. I tried those rocks and they're shite. PS shite is a Northern English word for "not very good."
Add lime?
