I have a 5yr old Jack Russell Terrier who I don't know if it's just natural or a bad habbit no matter what i plant he pee's on everything especially if there is a new Item placed in the garden he pee's my plants sometimes to death.
I can't decorate like we use to when he was a puppy or even before we got him now we are limited to decorations above in the air or for xmass inflatables that need a thorough washing and disinfectant because of the strong smell.
We live in miami, i would love to make a million of the ideas I see here on Hometalk but only keep dreaming. cant put down mulch because he digs since he is a hunter, and can't decorate with pebbles because he loves round things he has lots of toys plays with them a lot but finds interesting the new stuff in the garden. anyone have doggie friendly garden ideas since my garden is a drab out of fear he will ruin my investment.

Have you considered taking your dog for a walk and then he can express himself on other inanimate objects: light poles, curbs, etc.
Can't make a Jack Russell Terrier do anything, he's marking his turf. You could try spraying the area with a strong essential oil like citrus with a bit of caynne pepper in water in a garden sprayer (shake good before spraying) so he doesn't sniff the area which should keep him from marking.
Spray your area with a combination of eucalytus, clove, mint, lavendar, and orange essential oils, mixed and stored in a GLASS spray bottle or a yard sprayer (if it's plastic, wash it out thoroughly). Dogs generally avoid these smells.
use heavy scented sprays as hot pepper, garlic ,etc.
sprinkle hot black pepper on ur plants
best solution is call the dog whisperer
I agree with Sharon on her suggestion. I had really good luck with painting hot sauce on an antique table leg that a puppy insisted on trying to chew all the time. I never had a problem again with him trying to chew on any wood at all. It may work, just make sure you keep it renewed for a while so that he is reminded not to pee or harm your plants or anything else he likes to pick on.
Miami, lots of rain sorry for repeating myself so much but I think concrete garden decor would last longer and keep up with "max" and his doggie world. and it will help me pickup my creativity and work out the excess stress. Concrete city here we come!
Thanks for your time and advise.
