one gallon of water with two tablespoons of baking soda
I tried most of the tips and tricks as well as a otc tablet formulation that was guaranteed to work and it failed and fortunately my money was refunded by the money back guarantee.
My solution has been to train my dogs to pee in a mulched bed and that’s worked over the last 16+ years. Having an invisible fence, and supplementing with a remote training collar to implement training where to pee made this training very easy.... ( collar not needed afterwards)
Good luck in your exploration of a solution that works for you. Maybe theres new ideas. I know how bad the geographic yellow staining in a beautiful green turf can look like!
If you can spray the area soon after it will be diluted and won't stain grass
See if any of these help.

Baking soda does help a bit. I have 6 dogs in my yard and they have a doggie door, I just run the sprinklers for a minute after their morning constitutional. Admittedly I am not that fussy about how pristine the lawn looks in the backyard - that is their playground.
Get a back of Yard Lime at your big box store and sprinkle it in your yard. It not only helps your lawn, but it sanitizes your yard. A lot of people never "clean' their yards from pets.
If you want to keep the dog walkers from letting their dogs use your yard as their bathroom, the big box stores also carry "pet Deterrent" you can use!
Make that a "bag" of Yard Lime. You need to clean your yard frequently just for safety sake, not to mention the smell!!!
