The brown spots could be caused by Chinch bugs which eat the roots of healthy grass. You will need to apply something like Malathion, if it is still available as it is toxic, to kill the bugs. Scratch the bare spots with a lawn rake. Top with fresh soil and reseed.
Figure out the cause first of all. Get down and smell to see if it's urine. Do soil tests of the spots. At some point, weed eat all the dead grass away to bare earth. Loosen the soil, add top soil, then either grass seed or grass plugs. Keep well watered. Later you need to fertilize.
