This explanation seems to be based on the desire to sell you products that alter your dog\u2019s acid \/ alkaline levels. This is NOT<\/b> something you want to do without first taking veterinary advice since you could easily be damaging your dog\u2019s health!<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe solution is dilution!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If your lawn is important to you then go buy a watering can<\/a> and use it as soon as possible after your dog has used the area to eliminate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teach your dog to eliminate in a specific part of your garden. This is best achieved by taking him on lead to a specific area of the garden. You could also use a different substrate e.g. bark chipping and train your dog to just go on there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a logical idea for the boys who like to raise their leg. It should also retain the dog\u2019s odour encouraging him back. A quick look at reviews on Amazon<\/a>suggest it does not work, however I wonder how many owners put the effort in to take their dog on lead over to the post to pee?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mike Garner is a dog trainer and behaviourist at Rainbow Dogs in Brighton & Hove, Sussex.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow Rainbow Dogs on <\/strong><\/em>Facebook<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The other option is training<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
